(continued)

Normally, the mercenaries would have simply been swarmed and piled, but the presence of the fire elemental—radiating its heat and able to cast fiery projectiles—was an unnerving sight to behold, and too hot to walk into. The numerous bombs, Molotovs, pyromancy of Darius and his fire elemental, created so much heat that a few spots of nearby buildings have caught fire; the flames are spreading gradually and producing smoke.

Also, the devilish beings were quite brutal and aggressive, often throwing themselves upon weapons or charging amidst bombs, clearly exhibiting hyperaggression, fighting recklessly even when blinded by blinding grenades, peppered by shrapnel, or stabbed by weapons, some even writhing up sword blades and then fighting while impaled. The devils even fought themselves at times.

A group of gliders flying perhaps fifty feel above flew across the scene, dropping Molotov cocktails as they glided, gliding off beyond the buildings as their Molotovs struck helms or the ground and poured flames out at the unfortunately victims. All of this chaos allowed the mercenaries to get into the alleyway, but immediately, a group of a dozen devils overcome by hyperaggression charged down the alleyway, raising their arms and shaking their heads, growling like beasts; their charge seemed unstoppable by conventional means...



NotFishing,
How your group is arranged is up to you, but how you depict the arrangement of your group, including the fire elemental, will be important in dealing with this situation.

You can autohit about half the devils, but due to their hyperaggression, they cannot react to pain, fear or fatigue, meaning they are running amok while in psychopathic psychosis, so you will have to be crafty and clever to stifle their charge.

The numerous bombs going off has triggered

Poca screamed in pain when she got hit by the mud whip. Her sword was block her attack with thier shields she was about to attack thats when she heard a weird noise that scared the strange creatures. She was very confused whats going on as they fleed. She decided she wasnt going to attack until she knew she had to. But went into fighting stance just in case she had to attack. -Dances-

As soon as Salvatore reached the new ship that had cannons, the men on board immediately fired upon him. He dodged most of the arrows, but a graze from a musket caught him off balance as he tried to rush the boat to free the prisoners. He was keeping a relatively close distance, trying to draw them out of the boat and hitting the top with Astromancy spells, before trying to rush in with his gladius.

Emily's boar charged straight at the pirates from the atakebune while they were distracted by Sally, and she fired bolts into the open hatch while screaming "CHARGE!!" The guards who went with her leaped out from the rocks and shot arrows and spells whizzing into the open hatch, while the boar lowered his head as he charged to gore the first ones that came out...

Nathaniel had managed to get out of the woods that were being watched by the guards here. His mistake cost him a smoke potion, and he wanted to be as frugal as possible. He had to do more training later. The Sorceror checked himself for any bleeds or frays in his robes which might betray his presence further, then moved towards the HQ of the guards. But then he felt the mark on his face itch slightly, and reached in his robe pockets for the silver unguent that he kept on him. He still wasn't sure that the scar was dangerous, but seeing as it was from a vampire he liked to take precautions. Pulling it out, he smeared some over the mark, then crept forward towards the HQ...but then he noticed a light heading towards a smaller ship that had fired cannonballs earlier. The Sorceror moved faster; he had to drop it off before doing anything else.

The smoke cleared in the woods, and the Orc muttered, "Where'd he go?" The Apache replied, "He's still here, just not in the trees. Keep your eyes peeled." The young Apache tightened his bowstring, while the Orc picked up a nearby stone and sharpened his spear while looking around. Prepare for hell on RuneScape in Naval Cataclysm!

The Four Mercenaries

Once they reached their destination, the group quickly slipped out of the ongoing battle and walked further down the alley and paused briefly to catch their breath, more for Gareth's sake than anyone else's.

Unfortunately, the rest did not last long. Almost immediately after they stopped, a group of devils came charging down the alleyway.

Bolag immediately brought up his bow and released an arrow. He caught the lead devil in the knee, and no amount of anger and blind aggression could allow someone to continue a
running with a ruined kneecap. The devil tumbled to the ground, and the two devils behind him then proceeded to trip over him, slamming into the ground face-first. While this was going on, Bolag had already pulled another arrow out of his quiver. He knocked it, and sent it into the leg of another devil, who also fell, but this time only tripped up one of its companions.

With nearly half of the devils on the ground, creating a gap straight through the middle of their group, the charge would lose most of its impact.

"WITH ME!" Gareth yelled, raising his sword and rushing forward. Joric and Bolag followed their leader with an enthusiasm and bloodthirst that could almost match the devils. "This is one hell of a fight!" Joric yelled. Darius wasn't as sure as himself, but he too charged, and so did his fire elemental.

And so the band of mercenaries responded to the devil's charge with a counter-charge of their own. Joric immediately went to shield bash one of them, and if the blow connected he would follow up with a swing of his axe. Bolag simply went in hyper aggressive, swinging wildly and furiously. Darius threw a fireball in a devil's face, and if that didn't kill it, hopefully it would blind it so he could stab it in the gut.

Gareth swung his own sword at another attacker, hoping the devil would be too enraged to block the much longer weapon. And lastly, the fire elemental unleashed another torrent of firebreath.

With a bit of luck and skill, hopefully the small band would be able to dispatch this first wave before the ones on the ground managed to stand back up and rejoin the fight. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

As Nathaniel approached the castle that was the HQ of Astriki's guard, he heard the sounds of battle in the distance, while moving past a farm close to the gates. It was very small and quaint, with simple clay figures of a lady in a long dress lightly holding a chisel in her right hand, with her left palm gently covering the back of her right. The Sorceror had passed by figures like this before but never saw any references to it, and guessed they depicted a goddess of craftsmanship and the like. Old deities that had been lost in time before all of this happened. He had just passed the farm and edged closer towards a bush, when he heard it again.

The bush, grass and trees swayed with the pleasant breeze from the sea and some jumped with the booms of cannonfire, but Nathaniel heard the ferocious sound of a howling wind mixed with roaring fires, and the same hoarse female voice spoke out in his mind.

Stop trying to warn them, Nathaniel. There is no point even trying. He has forgotten you, and destiny has decreed that our work will be complete. The seeds have been sown, and the coming blossoms will herald the return of our Lord.


The Sorceror shook himself out of this episode, and returned to the bush swaying in the sea breeze. "No," he muttered as he peered at the castle to find an opening, "I won't let it happen!" More guards in light grey armour adorned with green stripes moved towards the farm from the gates, and Nathaniel doubled back into the farmhouse, when he heard a faint rumble and saw a red light pulse under the cellar. He squeezed himself behind the clay figure when he saw the guards turn around and start running to the house. He needed to get into the HQ fast, and warn him. Prepare for hell on RuneScape in Naval Cataclysm!

Crossbows had been drawn as the guards ran with their boots treading over grass and dirt. "Enemy ship spotted 30 yards out to sea! Sally's engaging, let's give him some support!" They tromped past Nathaniel, who had cast a spell to conceal himself. His skin and clothes changed colour and texture to blend in passably with the farmhouse, but any sudden movements would give him away. The Sorceror edged out from behind the statue when a cannonball landed yards from the house and sprayed both him and the last guard, a woman with grey eyes, to pass him with clumps of dirt which crumbled on the wall and clinked on the guard's armour and statue. The guard swiftly turned around then back again to her fellows, before making a double turn to the spot where Nathaniel was. Her eyes combed over the wall and statue and passed his exact position four times. Did she see him?

Meanwhile, at the atakebune, Emily and around ten guards had already got inside and were proceeding to rush the place. Her boar managed to gore three enemies while toppling more, including some of the more heavily armoured ones who made to get up before being pelted by bolts and spells from outside the hatch. The guards yelled as they advanced, spraying their opponents as gas irritated them, but the enemies started to retaliate with weapons of their own. Some of the mages were being shot down by musket fire and arrows, while some were blown back out of the hatch or engulfed in flames cast by enemy spells...

Sally had put up a good fight against the Barbary Pirates who had fired upon him, his face lit with contempt for those who would keep slaves for sex and labour. But while he flew in and slashed at the pirates with his gladius, scars began to show and he was moving a bit slower, yet on he fought. Suddenly a few guards came with crossbows and swords, shooting, slicing and bashing with shields. Backup had arrived at last, and Sally went to free the slaves.
