Cradle Stone Tower, Skyrim
Jake
◊, Clarisse
◊, Celica
◊, Faye
◊ and Clair
◊ are sitting by the entrance of the small but sturdy tower. The latter three are talking amongst themselves on the top of the tower, Jake is outside on ground level, worrying a bit about Anna, who'd gone ahead to scout out where the tournament was going to be held, none of them aware that there's no confirmed location yet. Clarisse, meanwhile, sits on a rock by herself, also on ground level and polishing some arrows, coating some of them in what appears to be poison, just in case she may need them.
She then seems to notice something in the distance.
"Hey, Jake. There's a group of people headed this way."
Jake snaps to attention, quickly running to her side.
"Don't tell me... Einherjar?"
"Possibly."
"Damnit, if so, without Anna here, we're at a big disadvantage."
"Stay calm, will you? Even if they are Einherjar, there's no guarantee that they're hostile."
"No, but the chances are pretty big. Come on inside, we'll set up some defenses just in case. I'll ask Clair to go to the group and ask them why they're here.", Jake says, then proceeding to walk inside. Clarisse gets up from her rock and walks in after him.

◊ and Officers
◊ tracking them a good distance further. Far away enough that the Einherjar don't notice them, but not so far that the drone can't do so instead.
A little while later, Clair flies towards the group to meet them near the tower, as to ascertain if they're hostile.
None of them try to attack her as she nears, which she sees as a good sign. Once close enough, she flies near the leading unit of the group, a brown-haired boy.
"Greetings, travelers. What twist of fate brings you to us?", she asks. The boy steps forward, looking hesitant and reluctant to tell her. But he buries his fear and looks certain of himself.
"We have come to intercept your group, and take you out."
"But, pray tell, why would you stoop to such violent lows when there's no reason for conflict."
The boy shakes his head.
"We have no choice in the matter. We are tied to this mission."
Clair's eyes widen, realizing what the boy is trying to convey.
"... I see. That's regrettable."
"Indeed. Return to your tower and prepare its defenses, then we shall strike. If anything, I want to grant you a fight as fair as can be."
"I appreciate that. We'll meet again soon.", she says, after which her pegasus turns around, with her returning to the tower. A man with blue hair turns to the boy.
"Was it wise to inform them of our intentions?"
"Probably not. But these people don't deserve these constant attacks, and even with a Blood Contract, I refuse to outright behave as Julius' puppet."
He turns around with a somber face.
"It's up to you whether or not you tell Julius what I said afterwards.", he says to a certain wyvern rider, who shakes her head.
"There's no need for him to know. It'd only make Thracia suffer more."
"Thank you...", the boy says with a sad smile. He then turns to the rest of the group.
"Everyone, get ready to fight, and don't fear death! Either we win and honor those damned contracts, or we die and get reclaimed. Whichever way this battle goes, Thracia will not suffer because of it."
The group cheers in response to his speech. Of course they'd still be somewhat afraid of death, but during their week-long march, they'd had plenty of time to talk to one another and make up their minds.
Their priority wouldn't be to survive, but to ensure that the Blood Contracts wouldn't affect the Thracia peninsula, either by winning or by losing.
"Now onwards, to battle!", the boy proclaims, and the group begins to march again.
Clair arrives back at the tower, seeing Nicole approaching.
"Oh, greetings, lady Nicole! Your timing couldn't be more impeccable.", she says. "A group of Einherjar, bound by the Blood Contract, is about to attack us. Quickly enter the tower with me, so that we can get ready to defend it and think of a strategy."
Clair then enters. If Nicole follows, she'll close the door behind the both of them.
In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.Garon, Xander, Samsara, Lucina, Beruka, Camilla (both flying on their wyverns), Takumi, Oboro, Ryoma, Gangrel and (ppheewww) Emmeryn and Cynthia are thankfully nearby, though they are unaware of the mounting conflict.
Garon's leading, happily whistling a tune to himself.
I'm afraid of having so many people in there but... well, we don't know when the tournament happens and where it is, might as well mobilize.
I'm blaming you if everyone back there dies. Says Garon. Haha, just Nohrian humor.

"They warned me ahead of time, are giving us the chance to set up defenses, and immediately made it clear they're not doing this by choice. Despite the circumstances, I am certain that, if we reclaim them, they'll have no issues fighting on our side in the future. For now though, we must get ready."
"Ah, Nicole! It seems fate likes to get you involved into our problems.", Jake says as he approaches, smiling.
"And I'm glad it does. Your help is invaluable. Especially now that Anna isn't here."
"The ballista has been set up.", Clarisse says when she walks into the room. "Celica and Faye are on the roof already."
"Good. I'll defend the front gate.", Jake says, carrying his axe.
"... By yourself?", Clarisse asks, surprised.
"Someone has to do it, and we can't be sure if we'll have to fight this battle on our own or not."
"Nicole is a dragon, she can easily help you."
"It may be better for her to stay in the tower and defend the stairs when the Einherjar break through."
Clarisse actually looks worried for one at Jake's wording. They betray that he knows he can't hold off an entire group of Einherjar by himself.
Garon's group should be close enough to see the tower, as well as the approaching group. Those who were present in the fight to protect Alm and Celica's groups should recognize the latter standing on top of the tower, and that should clue them in that Anna and her friends may be under attack yet again.
If they hurry, they can make it to the tower before the Einherjar can.

It speaks in a condescending feminine voice. "Are you brave or just dumb? I'm having a hard time telling."
From one of the teleportation markers emerges Weiss Schnee. Then Mad Jack walks out of another, then Doctor Strange from a third.
"Remember our priorities."
"Kill the machines first."

"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."Astil — Vs The Unmaker
Wormwood's body wove through the air in a motion that could nearly be described as a dance... if it were not for the fact that no human dance was nearly so violent and mad as the winding of the Defiler's body. The Horned God's might spear quickly put a stop to that, anchoring wormwood in place for a precious few moments as it erupted from further within the beast in a way that could only be described as space-warping, as though the weapon was a great deal longer than it should have been. Though he may not have realized it at first, the weight and positioning of this strike had seriously stunned the Defiler.
Darkku's Dark Aura burst more eye-stars along the beast's sides, further releasing souls and energy into the environment, and clove deep into the void-like body of the beast, as Semargl's flames purified the growing corruption that was spreading from each wound.
...
Oh right. That.
With every wound inflicted on Wormwood after the spearing, geysers of corruption spilled forth onto the earth, marring the land in a way that the arena would not soon repair. It twisted and writhed like shadows in the night often do, especially for those whose minds are ever active. The twisting, coiling, curling shapes of nightmares found themselves burned away in the light of Semargl's flames, too.
"Even if I die here, the corruption will never be erased. It shall spread across your world and I shall be reborn again and anon. You will have won this battle, but my victory in this war is eternal."
Enforcer's attack of course had none of these problems as he simply smashed into the Lord of the Chittering Host at great velocity, which caused the worm to produce a very un-lordly noise of surprise, which he immediately shifted into a roar and would probably refuse to acknowledge.
—
Vahasia weakly pointed to her former lord's head with a single finger. She was too weak to speak now, but it seemed like she wanted to indicate something to Geralt about that point...
"The Stick has sentimental value. It's like an enormous, hideous teddy bear we can kill things with." -rikalousHey look, flying little thing!
Beruka flies down near them. My lieges. It appears that our allies near that tower are under attack. Should we proceed for the tournament?
Huh? N-no! They're our friends and I'll be damned if I ever refuse to aid them! Let's try to reach that tower before whatever force is upon them does!
The Sheperds change their paths, but the fliers attempts to quickly reach the tower first. Cynthia attempts to go there first, being faster than Camilla or Beruka. She spreads her wings wide to try to make herself known.
Hi guys! The cavalry's here!
Who are we going to be massacring in the name of all that is good today? Asks Camilla, arriving shortly after them. I hope they'll be bad.
Our allies... and the Hoshidans are coming to assist.
Meanwhile, the other Sheperds head for the tower.

Nautolan picture belongs to Bonesmarinated on twitterDark Riku jumps back as his attention is drawn to the corruption. "Oh that's... That's nasty." He then grabs Zoro, spins around, and hurls him at Wormwood.
Semargl's halo sparks and crackles with orange electricity-like effects, then a single glimmering feather falls from it. Semargl takes it in his teeth and offers it to Geralt. "A feather of the Firebird. Add the power of sending to your flames, warrior."
The feather is hot to the touch, but not burning hot. While holding it, Geralt's Igni sign will be able to apply the same effects as Semargl's flames.

"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.""Half-dragon, actually. Just wanted to clear that part up," Nicole corrects. "Anyway, lemme get this straight: the tower we're in is about to be sieged by these Einherjar, yeah?"
She taps her fingers against the pommel of Olympus' Wrath.
"Heh... It's a little different than all the other Einherjar fights, but don't worry, that squad ain't getting past me."
Edited by IchigoMontoya on Mar 28th 2020 at 1:26:25 AM
Thhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnkkkkksssssssssss
Zoro's sent flying in the air and head towards the gargantuan Eldritch Abomination that packs more than enough power to probably pulverize him in a single blow. And now that he's flying in a straight line, it'll be very easy for it to do so, especially because he's getting close. Real close. Pretty much right in front of it. RIGHT AT SWORD SWINGING DISTANCE
But instead of panicking, Zoro man it up further and spins his two hand-wielded swords, coating them Haki. He spins forward and reach Wormwood, at which point, he attempts to slice the massive monster in half
with a mighty cleave attack! And to make things even better, he turns around in mid-air and attempts to slice with an equally gargantuan vertical slash of his sword! He sure packs a lot of power for a mere swordsman!
Santoryu Ogi: Ichidai Sanzen Daisen Sekai! He says, landing on the ground with his two feet.

Nautolan picture belongs to Bonesmarinated on twitterCelica and Faye, on top of the tower, notice Cynthia and Camilla. Having been told about the Sheperds' members by Anna some time ago, they speak to them.
"It seems there's Einherjar headed this way. We're getting ready for battle. It's regrettable, but we have no choice.", Celica says.
"Yes, but I really don't think-"
"They have fliers. Even if you somehow manage to hold the door, they'll find their way to the roof.", Clarisse points out. "It's better for Nicole to help you outside, because by the time they could get past the both of you, they'll already be trying to siege the roof anyway."
"... I suppose that is true. Alright then. Clarisse, get ready."
Clarisse nods and walks to the stairs, while Jake walks to the front gate, opening it and walking outside. He leaves it open for Nicole to follow.
Once outside though, he looks surprised by the people that have shown up around the tower, and notices Garon's group nearby. He sighs in relief.
"Huh... maybe I won't be dying today after all."
By the time Garon's group arrives, the Einherjar are really close as well.
The battle begins.

In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay.The Strike Force does not advance, but instead holds position around the tower.
"One of us is late."
"The young one." Mad Jack spits. "It was foolish to bring her along for this mission."
GLaDOS's drone flies up to the top of the tower and fires an orange projectile straight down, creating a (closed) portal.
"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."Oh I see! What should we do to help you?
Hmmm, let's prevent the fliers from reaching our position, hm? But, my dear little heroine, perhaps you should also help them out below! You're swifter than me or my dearie Beruka after all!
Don't get shot.
Cynthia twirls the spear she acquired and nods, before preparing to head off!
...
The Sheperds take their place.
Fear not, Jake, for we are here to help!
Those of you who are better suited for long-ranged offensive, go to the tower. Warns Samsara, attempting to speak quickly yet quietly. Too bad they're here, we can't organize any more, sorry about that!
I'll be fi-UERK Says Takumi, as Gangrel shove him in the tower. Gah, if I hear the princeling speak one more, I might just end up killing myself!
Emmeryn and Takumi enter the tower. The archer groans at Gangrel as he closes the door but turns towards the others. I'm... I walked here on my own with her. Hrm, let's get to defending!
Emmeryn waves while Takumi jump to the nearest spot where he can afford to shoot. As for the other Sheperds, they gather near the tower, eyeing the Gravitas members suspiciously but opting to confront the Einherjars first. Saizo stands at the far back while everyone else get into position, swords, spears and shurikens out.
Words are useless, I assume. Says Ryoma. Come! So that we may end the curse of your blood contract! He says.
And may you fight with honor. Conclude Lucina.
Xander and Garon are in front, with Ryoma and Samsara. Oboro and Lucina are in the middle, Saizo and Gangrel are in the backlines, ready to use the coming confusion to their advantages.

Nautolan picture belongs to Bonesmarinated on twitterPulling Olympus' Wrath free from its sheath, Nicole gives her Zeus-forged sword a flourish before following Jake outside. She then looks out towards the group of Einherjar.
"They... brought a belly dancer to a war zone? I'm just gonna assume she knows some kinda magic dance that summons a boatload of monsters or something."

"Oh... I'm so sorry... I'm late, am I? I'm so definitely late... I can't believe this happened at a time like this... They've probably lost the battle already by the time I..."
A worry-filled female voice is heard as a quadrupedal figure appears on the battlefield through her assigned teleportation glyph. It's a unicorn the size of a pony, with lavender fur and a indigo-colored mane and tail, wearing a dark cloak with mystical insignias on it, alongside the vortex-shaped symbol of Gravitas, the clasp of the cloak is also in that same shape, but with an overlaid six-pointed purple star. She is nervously nibbling on one of her hooves and looks like she's on the verge of breaking into tears.
—
Even though its strike landed true, that's not to say that the impact of Wormwood's bulk had no effect on the Horned God. It staggers from the crushing impact and is left completely open to being bathed in the corruption spewing from Wormwood, withering at an alarming rate.
"Just... try..." it groans as it twists the staff ever further in the horror, trying to mutilate it from the inside without releasing too much more of its wicked ichor.

Shadow chuckles in response to Ken Tahn's reaction, and nods to Botar.
"Alright, thanks for the heads-up."
He smiles to Pseudo, waving.
"Thanks for considering that. See you around, guys."
Once the three have left and Shadow is on his own, he takes a breath, and smirks, kicking back and leaning on thin air as he watches a few birds overhead.
"Alright, just a moment's respite before the next main event."
"Life isn't a fairytale. There isn't always a 'Happily Ever After' waiting for you at the end of the road." ~ Isengrim Heath-Stalker"Not quite. Dancers can invigorate their allies, granting them the energy to move and attack again during a moment where they'd normally rest. They're frail themselves, but also really agile. Taking her out will be important, but probably not easy unless we get lucky.", Jake says to Nicole. He then looks up, seeing Camilla and Beruka in the sky.
"If the both of them can keep the fliers busy, maybe Clarisse can use the ballista to shoot Lara down. A single arrow should do the trick."
Then he turns to Garon's troops.
"Thank you. Our chances of survival have greatly increased now that you're all here. Now our forces rival theirs. ... No, with our combined strength, we should have the upper hand."
Lastly, he looks at Gravitas' forces. He's definitely a bit surprised by their overall looks, but he decides not to say anything about it. All help is welcome after all.
"I may not know who you are, but your help is greatly appreciated."
The Einherjar hear Ryoma's and Lucina's declarations. Leif smiles a bit.
"Don't worry, fighting dirty is not my style, princess Lucina.", he says. Lucina may be shocked to hear that Leif knows who she is.
Before she can ask further about it though, Finn, Orsin, Karin and Eda move forward to attack.
Finn charges for Xander, brandishing his Brave Lance.
Orsin heads straight for Jake, who meets his axe attack with his own axe, parrying the attack.
"I see a ballista on the castle roof!", Karin says. "Let's take it out before it can fire!"
Karin and Eda then fly towards the roof of the castle, right at Camilla and Beruka.
"Try to keep the pegasus knight away from us, they're resistant to magic.", Celica says to Camilla. "The wyvern knight, we can handle if she gets to us. We'll heal the both of you if you get injured."
Once those four have started attacking, the rest of the group charges forward too. Leif goes straight for Ryoma with his Light Brand.
However, Ronan starts firing shots at Ryoma and Xander as well, trying to make it so the former can't strike at Leif early. Lara, the Dancer, dances for him, invigorating him and allowing him to let loose many more arrows than he normally would be able to, which means Ryoma and Xander could actually be in a bit of trouble if only due to the sheer amount of attacks.
Safy backs down a little, staying in the back to heal if necessary. Lifis, the thief, tries to sneak around the battlefield, trying to ascertain if their opponents have anything to steal.
Asbel carefully moves forward, casting powerful, cutting winds with his Grafcalibur tome at Garon. They have a good chance to crit, so he'd better be careful.
Nanna, despite apparently being a healer, charges forward as well, brandishing the Earth Sword, and tries to attack Nicole with it.
Mareeta, in her charge, literally jumps over the front line to try to get to Gravitas' units, flashing blue for a moment as she activates Luna. If one of her incoming strikes hit, they'll completely pierce through their defenses.
Lastly, Altena starts flying upwards, holding the Gae Bolg, but not yet attacking, trying to see who she should go for.
As for the remaining ally units, Clarisse prepares the ballista while Clair stays near her as an extra layer of defense alongside Camilla and Beruka.
After some time has passed for Shadow, he may find it a good idea to look for the Shinigami. Since Pseudo mentioned they're on reconnaissance, it's safe to assume they're somewhere outside the bases, so Shadow should have an easier time finding them than he would normally.
In the year 202X, all is devastation... Soon, any last shred of hope had by the saintliest optimist shall die and decay."You're not late," Doctor Strange tells the unicorn reassuringly. "Now, if you see a Cyber Angel, prioritize it. Until they get close, focus on the Einherjar."
GLaDOS' drone shoots a blue portal at the ground in between the base of the tower and the front lines of the Einherjar. It and the orange portal are both open now. Strange stands behind the blue portal, creating hand-shields out of his magic.
With a fearsome battlecry, Jack springs into the air and makes a flying stab at Eda. From above.
Weiss dashes in to take the hit from Luna, knocking her back. She gracefully maneuvers back onto her feet and spins Myrtenaster's cylinder, preparing her Dust.

"A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to."

Alright, I could probably kill this thing, but I'll need one of you to throw me at it, got it?
His swords gains black blades and he begins to spin two of them, taking a few steps backward while watching the giant brawl. It's clear that it's a Santoryu technique that he can't pull off easily on his own, which means it's probably very strong.
