I actually meant that the guard was shooting at Cynthia's knees but screw it, I'll run with it being Sjan. I'm trying to involve everyone who's been posting more regularly but I'm sorry if any of you feel left out, I've sort of ignored those who aren't posting.

The guards continued to shock Magnus, one attempting to knock out his legs with the batons and the other smacking the weapon from his hand. Fortunately Seth's shots broke off further strikes for a few moments, they trying to wipe their faces and finding themselves disorientated. The man Magnus had scared to the point of incontinence had crawled away to another hall at some point during the fight.

Sjan had been attempting to re-establish a hold on the guards perceptions when the shots came her way, her reactions nowhere near good enough to dodge. Fortunately, Seth's Banshee blood gave him an edge and managed to tug her out of the way. She stumbled a little, still clutching her bleeding arm but otherwise unscathed. The seer took the guards' lapse in concentration as an opportunity, expanding their perception to a greater degree. One struck out at Cynthia wildly with his baton, stumbling and disorientated while the other gritted his teeth in determination. He had a strong enough mind to realise the cause of the vision, seeing light from Sjan's eyes extending to his own and charging at her with his baton.

The seer retrieved a short sword from one of the golems, not exactly knowing what to do with it but at least more prepared than without. She managed to parry the lunge and attempt a slash at his back, missing rather pathetically.

Meanwhile, the guard in front of Seth was unimpressed by his attempt to shame his actions, "Fight fair against monsters?" He almost laughed, dropping his rifle to the floor and pulling out his baton with arms spread in a goading fashion, "Come on then, freak!" He dared the hybrid, clearly off his rocker after such a stressful afternoon.

"I mean fair gunfight, not...oh, forget it." Seth tossed the guns over his shoulders, and they landed where his fellow escapees could grab them if they felt like they needed to. He turned around. "Take good care of those! I'm gonna need 'em after this." Then it was back to the guard. He made a shallow bow to the guard, maintaining eye contact and adding in a cocky smirk.

"Remember, if you pick up that gun before this fight is over, fair fighting goes bye-bye."

He started making his approach, slowly, carefully, just to see what the guard would do.

As the guards wept their eyes Magnus just stood there, his whole body hurting, his armor acted wonderfully as a conduit. Then the men attacked Sjan, he looked as she tried to strike him with a sword. It was clear that melee was not her strength. Still better than nothing, as the pain started to die away Magnus charged at them again, he engaged the guard that still was determined, this time, on a one-on-one fight Magnus held out much better, he kept a safe distance from the man, the guard was in his mid thirties, maybe he was the one leading the patrol.

Wip post but I needed to hurry

Sorry class work had me seriously held up.

The Immortal Prison, 17th Low Security Ward

Perhaps a little staggered after her own light show as the battle drew close. Suddenly realizing she had become a target of one of the guards she attempted to swing the heavy blade towards the figure. The guard had desperately just wanted no conflicts to occur, to just leave yet he knew he couldn't. To to fight and stop this quickly was his goal.

Regardless the unprepared swing of Cynthia did make contact striking the guards shoulder, though she was unable to move away getting knock to the floor by the electricity and force of the baton.

Magnus exchanged blows with the guard for quite some time now, as per usual when he fought he blocked nearly everything out of his perception and only concentrated on his foe, this man was a natural at fighting, eventhough he most probably wasn't prepared for this fight he could hold his ground against Magnus. He was in a fencing stance and used his baton more like a rapier than a blunt weapon, since the weapon itself wouldn't hurt Magnus through the metal armor anyways. Eventhough Kyōfū gave him a distinct advantage in reach the man used every opening he could find. Though neither of them really could land a hit.

The guard sneered at Seth, a little hot headed and ready to get revenge for the death of his colleague. He shifted on the spot testily as the man stepped forward, testing his resolve but he held his ground until he was close. Suddenly he lunged forward with a punch but this was only a distraction, aiming low with his shock baton. Meanwhile one of his guns landed near Cynthia, sliding towards her as she recovered from the electrical attack on the floor.

Magnus and the older guard were well matched despite their differences and the visions affecting the latter. Sjan was glad to have him distracted from her, even if it was a stalemate for the moment. She saw Cynthia was in trouble with the other guard, he about to strike again now that she was down. The seer came from behind the man, and attempted to stab the heavy short sword into his back. He saw this attack and moved to dodge, the blade only slashing his back lightly but nonetheless distracting him from the woman on the ground. The guard went for Sjan with a flurry of blows, "You'll pay for that!" He snarled, as Sjan parried and ducked away. Her sight gave the advantage that she could see all the strikes coming but combat was not her forte.

JANOS tilted their head as they stared at the two entities they had decided to speak with. Their answers were less clear then the nanite colony had been expecting. JANOS was after all not experienced with social interactions. It's eyes stared unblinking not really revealing the mechanical being's confusion.

"Answers unclear. Clarification Requested."

Its head straightened itself out as it looked at the shadowy being again when it mentioned working together to escape.

"Stick together? I can function as adhesive."

I'm really sorry about how long this post took.

As the stalemate continued Magnus knew that he needed to change his tactic, he couldn't use his Golems from the Shock-Formation here, they only were good to charge head on into the enemies, not to engage in prolonged melee combat with them, and the the ones in the Phalanx-Formation had no offensive capabilities to begin with. Also he did not have the time to draw a rune here, additionally his advantage in reach was negated by the fact that his opponent was faster than him because of the heavy armor. The man fought with a fire he saw only rarely, though he could see that he had not the intention to kill him. Would they have met under other circumstances, he might even would have enjoyed this fight. But they didn't meet under those other circumstances, so he had to defeat his opponent no matter what, though he still hesitated to kill the man, it was only for a split moment, but the guard used this one small moment of hesitation. Magnus could see a faint smile flashing on the face of his opponent as he managed to land a direct hit on his Adam's apple and Larynx. In addition to sending another even greater wave of pain to his whole body the hit seemed to paralyze his vocal cords. This last hit could be the end of the fight, in a last effort to turn the situation Magnus swung Kyōfū in a wide arc straight down at the right shoulder of his opponent, intending to sever the limb with one fell swoop.

To make this more of a real fight I let you decide if it lands, you control the guards anyway so I guess anything else would be autohitting

Alby sighed as he looked back at JANOS. He didn't like explaining things like this - it either failed, seemed really patronising, or both - but keeping the conversation going was probably best.

"What people would define as a 'person', either in terms of different biological species and variations thereon, or in terms of a prerequisite level of elementary morality, is variable."

Alby paused for a second, mulling things over.

"And I meant stick together figuratively. But I'll keep that in mind."

Rowan looks at JANOS while tilting his head to the side.

"Hm, interesting..."

He turns to Alby.

"If you really want to~ I don't really care where we go, to be honest..." He looks off in the distance. Maybe he saw the figure at the junction? "... If you want to find he nexus without having a bad time, though, you might want to break my shackles."

Something about his tone of voice makes this sound like a simultaneous good and bad idea.

A chain shot out of the darkness and curved around almost comically, contorting as if it was a living being. It approached Rowan but then pulled back.

"...We'll see."

If the group needed the extra power he might accept the request but he was hesitant to let whoever this was have any unnecessary advantages. As he was still considering things, he saw something at the junction again.

((Using the encounter Kkut sent in a PM now.))

A noise emerged from the junction at the other end of the hallway; those who could detect magic would suddenly notice it in abundance. A cloud of thick dust, streaked with bolts of glowing colour, rapidly made its way down the hallway accompanied by a strange noise, several rapid bursts alternating with a second of silence. On looking up at the ceiling, the assembled group would see a vague but certainly inhuman shape attached to it. The dust hid the details but it would become clear that it was crawling along the ceiling towards them. As it did so, the dust spread out and some started to reach them before the figure did. Where even a small portion touched flesh they would feel a sharp biting pain.

An eye popped into being on JANOS's side to get a better look at the shackles that Rowan mentioned having and would like removed. They ignored Alby's intentional avoidance of breaking the shackles, as their arm suddenly plopped off and fell on Rowan's limbs. The writhing mass of quicksilver flowed over the shackles dissolving and assimilating the device in short order, before returning to JANOS's main body having gained some degree of mass.

"Shackles removed."

That's when the pain dust started making itself known. JANOS was apparently unfazed by the dust, either lacking pain receptors to feel it, or simply being immune to whatever it was given its mechanical nature. JANOS melted into a pile of goop once more before reforming into a massive spider, to scuttle up the walls to investigate what was causing this.

As soon as the shackles are removed, a large oppressive aura fills the room. The creature on the ceiling might be affected by it.

"Oh, why thank you." He grins mischievously, until the dust cloud reaches him.

"Tch... That stings."

... Well, he sure isn't showing it. Aside from wincing at the initial hit, he doesn't react much more than this.

Team Magnus

For a moment, with Magnus' attack abruptly halting against his will, the guard flashed a smile of victory. Then, blood and pureed flesh is pushed out of the man's pores, face distorting into one trying to scream yet no cries of pain could come out. Instead, a brilliant yet tarnished golden light pours out- The man's soul, blackness marking the once near-holy light. However, even as his body is reduced to deflated skin hanging over its skeleton, it never falls down.

The remaining guards, bodied or soul, knew what just happened despite their inexperience. The unliving skeleton standing up from the gooifed pile of organs, the mess climbing up the body and becoming a visceral exoskeleton. Forming a faceless mask and what could almost be considered Victorian aesthetics, one symbol begins to mark it: A hideous, demonic sword wrapped in perverse light. To those that didn't know, this was just a symbol seemingly meant to strike fear. Those that did however...

"Hmm, a taur as a Knight of The Round Table? Simply astounding, I'm surprised The Bla- Sorry, the 'Servants of Humanity' hadn't banned your species. Or is that why you're a Knight? They really only keep us up-to-date on language I'm afraid. Lord Calesvol would be ashamed of such weakness however." The wrapped body seeming to take in the sight, it lets loose a breath no one could recognize having been held. Flexing the right hand, it called out.

"I'm terribly sorry, but all Servants left will be offered one warning: Flee like the cowards you truly are, and I the Soul Lancer shall ignore you. I do have business to discuss with these uninformed Knights, and I rather do that now."

I felt like this scene needed to be wrapped up, and I wanted to make sure you guys understood souls are known. Yeah some would still fear death due to it leaving them powerless, but obtaining new bodies is possible so its ultimately just an inconvenience if you have the right connections. By the way, Knights of The Round Table was an older name Eldon had. That and Dancers of The Broken Mask along with some others.

Magnus for a moment just stood there, trying to speak, he did have an urge to back away from whatever this was but since behind him was a wall this was not really possible, he still held his weapon defensively though he already assumed that, if this... abomination wanted it he could likely again just stop every action he made. And while he didn't see himself as Knight and he didn't think this thing knew that he was with the Cult he guessed that his armor indeed made him look like an ancient knight. As he regained his speech after a bit he looked at the creature from under his armor "Business?"

Seth dodged the punch by leaning back, but wasn't watching for the shock baton and took a hit to the thigh.

"FUCK!" He hadn't intended a banshee scream, but the pain was so sharp and intense that he let one out anyway, right up close to his attacker. He didn't notice or care if the guard got hit with it; he was too busy falling to one knee, then subsequently rolling over onto his back as he clutched his leg. He closed his eyes and dropped a stream of profanities at a volume just above a whisper. So when he opened them and found a...whatever that thing was had appeared out of nowhere and started talking to Magnus, Seth's jaw dropped, and he was too busy paying attention to his thoughts screaming OH JESUS WHAT IS THAT to listen to what it was saying.

Finally, when there was a silence, he propped himself up on his forearms and leaned a bit to the left.

"Please tell me I didn't summon anything by screaming."

Sorry if this seems a bit rushed, I'm halfway out the door currently.

Seth's banshee scream sent the guard into a far wall with a painful crunch, fracturing a few ribs and making him cry out in pain. However, a greater danger had made itself apparent, using their former comrade's remains, body and soul, to create a morbid marionette for its personal whims. The guard fighting Sjan faltered, the seer herself forgetting the strikes of his baton and staring at the thing that now spoke through a faceless mask of skin. Her expression was one of horror, but not from the gorey visage.

The Soul Lancer, as it identified itself, made eloquent warning to the Servants of Humanity and the truth in its words did not fall on deaf ears. The man facing Sjan gave her one final, angry look as she withdrew her visions from his mind and fled. The other, clutching his ribs, stumbled after in desperation. Sjan carefully helped Cynthia to her feet and made her way to Seth, never taking her eyes off the Soul Lancer. She muttered prophecy under her breath and held a hand to her chest, as if holding something close to protect it. Still, The hybrid's comment made her grin, "If only... The puppeteer of that morbid little marionette is a different entity. It..." She tried to find words to describe what she saw, holding out a hand to help him up, "Well, it can take far worse things than a man's life and molding the flesh is just a parlor trick." She shrugged, wishing she had the time to draw her visions. It made it simpler for her to describe them.

Seth took Sjan's hand and pulled himself up.

"Thanks," he said. He looked at Magnus. "Yeah, I got you. One sec." He walked over, slightly more slowly than he would have preferred, to the guard's discarded rifle. He would have gone for his pistols, but the rifle was closer and didn't require him to get out in front of the Soul Lancer. He picked it up, checked that it was still loaded—it was, thankfully—and turned back around. He held it in a position where he wasn't pointing the barrel at anyone, but if he needed to shoot, he could easily aim it.

"Forgive me for doing more song-quoting," he said to Sjan, "but...darling, what is going on?"

Cynthia look the help from Sjan and got to her feet. Quickly regaining her calm composure, putting the sword back into her makeshift sheaf. It had been a long time since she was in combat, so wasn't entirely used to it or for that member could remember the last time. She took a hand and casually moved her hair back behind her in the tidy position it was before flowing down her back.

She looked at soul lancer, as she moved close to Magnus back in her elegant moment placing a hand upon him though still cautiously looking down the hallway. "I apologize for the incontinence of you getting injured Magnus. If you would like I could treat those wounds shortly." She says in a caring and soft tone, almost disregarding the fact the Soul Lancer was addressing them.

As Magnus saw the rest of the group moving in to help he did feel a little relieved, especially the treatment seemed more than good for him, but first he wanted this Soul Lancer to state his business or go away. He shortly looked at Cynthia "Thanks... but later..." then he focused the Lancer again "Again... what's your business... with us and... who is Lord Calesvol..."

Team Magnus

The one called Soul Lancer had been quiet, unmoving and listening to his 'fellow Knights' speak amongst themselves. With Magnus' second request for elaboration, the Soul Lancer turns to him. Shaking his head shamefully, the 'man' answers. "Truly saddening, a Knight who doesn't even know our Lord. To be truthful, I thought the Servants spoke only lies of us becoming a cult. Lord Calesvol..."

The body warper 'glancing' towards Sjan, beneath the material his very soul smiles at her. "I do find pride in the simple things dear, and simplicity should never be disrespected. Truely, the fact none of you know our Lord is proof the Round Table has become a shadow. Well, that is why I am here however."

The Soul Lancer bringing the hands to the former body's head, he pulls off the skin like it was a helmet- Revealing a restored yet radically different face, pupils shaped like the symbols marking his 'armor'. His eyes settling on Magnus, the flesh of The Soul Lancer's right arm starts to bubble as he speaks. "Lord Calesvol is one of The Thirteen Blades of Magic, created in the First Generation of Decline by a female Mage. From what I understand of the Servants' false history, their names respectively have been made Excailbur and Morganna."

Peeling the bubbling skin off his right arm, The Soul Lancer simply straightens it into a leaking visceral lance. Holding it in both hands, he gives a quick glance to Lucas before backing up to take in the entire group. "Lord Calesvol has standards you false Knights fail to meet. Firstly, when fighting the villains of The Black Order, the 'Servants of Humanity', you always intend to purge them. Those that wish to oppress our world will never stop until death."

Casually imbedding his lance into the ground, The Soul Lancer's face and voice remain calm even as he continues. "The maiden with sight beyond, she is the only one to have proven herself a true Knight. Now go, seek the monsters calling themselves heroes and vanquish them. I will be searching for your captain, though know this... I will watch you, to ensure you do not further blasphemy our Knighthood and our Lord."

Magnus remained silent as the creature spoke, on one hand he did see truth in its words, after all this was why he was here, on the other hand he remembered the faces of his enemies, the monsters he knew wouldn't feel fear, maybe for their own worthless life like a cornered animal would, but not for those dear to them. But in the end, those men they fought were probably only tools for the other Servants, the real monsters. "If you think... I won't kill... these monsters... then you are... the one who errs... mark my words... Servants... Black Order... whatever they may be called... I may showed mercy to my opponent..." He slowly regained his normal speech "But he was no monster... merely their tool. You don't punish... a hammer for doing what it... was made to do. When I see the real monsters... that is when I will impale them... rip them apart... crush them underfoot."

The beast scurried backwards - its form still concealed but the dust moving with it - as Rowan's powers were unlocked, emitting a pained scraping noise on top of the previous sound. The dust concentrated around the creature but it seemed to be getting thicker, more spewing out as the noise got louder and louder.

Alby shrugged as JANOS chose trust, and aimed the infinite chain at the noise, pulling it back and throwing it to get some momentum but holding onto one end and extending it mid-air. His aim was true but the creature grabbed onto the chain rather than being hit by it. At the same time the creature continued moving back and Alby tried to shrink it, sending both of them tumbling to the ground. The darkness moved with him but the momentum sent him into the dead centre of the dust. He shrieked in pain as whatever it was started digging into his skin and a bolt of blue shot through the darkness and into his hand. As Alby started hyperventilating, shadowy tendrils once again shot out and formed a larger mass but this time they covered the entire stretch of corridor, stretching as far as any of them could see. Although he still had the energy to mutter some colourful things under his breath, he was out of the fight for now.

As JANOS climbed up the wall, the creature darted forward and tried to climb directly through the nanomachine colony, digging into it with its claws but not stopping to ensure proper damage was done.

Sjan opened her mouth to reply to Seth but closed it quickly as the Soul Lancer began speaking, she already knew he was allied with the Cult of Eldon. However, he had been imprisoned some time ago, likely before it was known as such though the symbol was uncomfortably familiar to her. The scar from the dagger that pierced her chest three years ago still hurt and the smiling of his soul elicited a grimace, "Simplicity doesn't exist in anything but the lies people tell themselves... I will have no one lord over me." She added, crossing her arms carefully (partially to avoid nicking herself with the short sword still in hand) and looking into the creature with suspicion.

When Soul Lancer called her a 'maiden' Sjan spluttered and had to bring a hand to her mouth to prevent laughter escaping, "Yeah, no..." She muttered, mirth fading somewhat when he mentioned the young man she had incited to suicide. She was not proud of what she pushed him to, though it was his idea to pull the trigger her power had incited the panic required to follow through. Finally, as Magnus made his reply to the 'man', she quietly explained the gist of the situation to Seth, "The 'Soul Lancer' works for the Cult of Eldon, the ones who orchestrated this jail break and Magnus' cronies. They don't terribly like the people who run this place and expect any Eldon agents to kill them."
