Pickman notices that just in time, when his own laptop-grimoire has gathered an incredible amount of mana nearly to the point of overloading. He clenches his teeth and, noting that his tactics have been futile, hits a big hexagonal key on the sensor pad that empathically appears just as he grows really pissed off.

Pickman: Okay, self-taught witches, you've brought that upon yourself! <Cthaat Aquadingen! Eighteen restraints dropped! The Haagenti Biocidal Institude has concluded that all lifeforms striving for genetical perfection deserve eradication equally! Initiate ephemeral purging! Andromalius!>

As Jeff shouts the name of the Goetian demon, portals open amidst the courtyard, and massive tentacles erupt from within. The overcharged spell's purpose is to serve as an assault artillery, and thus tendrils thick as tree trunks attempt to dismantle any fortifications and ram at castle gates and walls directly.

~Six and Igno, you see a pair of yellow-skinned men in robes stand in the courtyard, lifting boulders and tossing them at your group with magic~

~Six is also in the position to see two parked armored vehicles in the courtyard near the gates~

~Charles follows the other guard through the door and ends up at the top of a narrow, spiral staircase that leads down in clockwise direction~

~incidentally, Charles, which arm do you wield your weapon with?~

~Dinah spots her next opponent: The mage that has been interfering with Jeff's work~

~he sees her charge at him, and conjures a wall of ice to impede her approach~

Igno: Oh hello there! -flies up to the boulder-throwing-mages' level, leveling the Buzzsaw embedded within his arm at them before opening fire-

~Dinah, you climb the wall and are now standing about 5 meters above the mage~

~he sees you reach the top, hesitates for a moment because holy shit how does somebody just climb up there, and then draws is staff, aiming to grill you with a lightning spell~

~Six shoots one of the mages, hitting him in the left thight, and...~

Courtyard Mage: "OW! FUCK! BY THE EIGHT, HE SHOT ME! THAT BASTARD JUST SHOT ME! WHAT THE FUCK!" >_<

~he frantically flails his arms around as he flops to the ground in pain, and several large boulders are suddenly telekinetically tossed in Six' general direction~

~as Igno opens fire on the other mage, he conjures an arcane shield which seems to be able to absorb the bullets pretty handily~

~aaaand he responds by throwing a fireball at Igno's face~

~meanwhile, Jeff's tentacles are surprisingly successful, taking out the Fort's main gate and a few wooden fortifications~

~thus also allowing Mindy to proceed with ease~

Igno: -flies straight for the mage, the fireball hitting him square in the face, the shapeshifter getting engulfed in flames as he keeps going on, what almost would look like a Fire Atronach to the Altmer now flying straight at him, blade and machinegun in hand, still firing on full auto-

-Six thruster-boosts to the right to get out of the way of the obstacles, and puts two more rounds in the guy so he'll stop throwing boulders-

Just as the tentacles rip into the fortifications, the strain of sustaining them becomes too hard on Pickman and he drops the spell, making tendrils dissolve into sludge and portals close shut. He sighs, then rushes towards the fray, holding his laptop and swearing to himself quietly.

Upon seeing Igno being on a receiving end of a fireball, Jeff manages to gather enough mana and conjure a mote of blue fire the temperature of which is incredibly low. Appearing just near Igno's face, it's supposed to drain some of the fireball's heat due to the way how thermodynamics work, so the impact should be lowered at least somewhat.

(@Igno) Pickman: Got your back, mate!

~Dinah, you throw a dagger faster than that guy could raise his staff, so now you can go and retrieve it from right between his dead eyes~

~Charles, as you make your way downward, you hear agitated voices from below, at least three different men~

~what do you do?~

~Igno, the Mage attempts to cast a very powerful banishment spell on you~

~does it work?~

~and Six, I'm gonna have to ask for a Dexterity roll there~

~Mindy, you are quite lucky, as a small squad or reinforcements bursts out of a nearby door just in time for you to do just that~

~wheeee, look at their pretty leather coats go flap flap as you slam them through the air! :D~

-Dinah moves to retrieve it, but slips on the ice and falls-

-There is a somewhat sickening crunch-

-Six rolls 9, with a +8 modifier because MJOLNIR and the training to use it grant superhuman levels of dexterity-

-Nay, Mr.GM-

-although looking like he's made of fire, Igno is not a creature from Oblivion, and thus continues his route towards the mage's face unimpeded-

~Dinah, it seems like even though the injury you suffered was quite nasty, there are at least no Guards around nearby to prey on you like that~

~Six, you succeed at dodging the boulders, but your aim is a little off and you miss the mage~

~he responds by raising a large rock right above your head, how do you respond?~

~Igno, you succeed at your charge unimpeded and create a nice cloud of fine red mist as you make contact~

~Charles, as you peek down the staircase, you can see two men in leather coat uniforms and one man in Mage's Robes, the latter standing with his back towards the staircase and the former two standing in what appears to be a small hallway~

-Six jerks forwards, then immediately throws herself backwards to try and throw off the mage's aim and avoid being crushed-
