bravenewworld | The Battle for Caldera

The time for action is at hand, and the players have been set in place. Those who choose to make an attempt at diplomacy head off at the appointed time to meet with Valeria, the clerk and representative of the general who leads the Gigas army. Those who wish to take more direct action against Gigas leave with General Ironbrand to put their plans into motion. In the meantime, the refugees continue to stream into Union, while supplies are gathered and flow the other way.

The outcome of this war may very well depend on the combined results of these four efforts…

((This log will be a catch-all for all four efforts of the attempt to save Caldera. There will be four different parts of this post: Diplomacy, Aggression, Refugees, and Supplies. The first two should be well established, but the Refugees portion will encompass bringing those in Caldera who require help to Union and giving them medical aid and care, while the Supplies portion will encompass people in Union setting up shelters and gathering resources to send back to Caldera, as well as other miscellaneous tasks that may be of help. Gathering resources may entail leaving Union to explore out in other areas. You all signed up for groups, so please try to maintain these groups when posting, particularly to the Diplomacy and Aggression sections. The other two may be more free-form.

Mods will be responding at least once every 24 hours to keep the logs moving.

EDIT 5/31: Please try to group up if possible! We'll generally try to wait for threads to have 2-3 people before we jump in. Threads with 3+ may attract the attention of something a little more... interesting.))

All three remaining Wukongs shouted "Don't hog ALL the fun!" in unison and jumped from the soldiers towards the haunter. Of course, the second law of motion meant their jumping pushed the confused mass of soldiers into even more confusion. One of the Wukongs got shot out of the air and vanished in a puff of smoke, but the last two came up on either side of the haunter and, as time seemed to stand still for just a moment, they both inhaled deeply and breathed twin cones of fire at the Pokemon!

Fun? Fun?! Were these guys for real? They weren't taking this seriously at all! Eren feels like he may have needed to pick his party a little more carefully. But then again, shifters weren't exactly everywhere; his choices were limited, especially when it came to recruiting for this admittedly crazy plan.

Napoleon is now busy with the cart and its contents, leaving the Kadabra to Eren. Well, and Rosa, who has finally decided to join the battle after cowering. She feels much more confident alongside Eren! She unleashes a Confuse Ray while Eren comes at the Kadabra, Steel Wings spread wide.

The Houndoom roars in anger as the sand attack obscures its vision, but then yelps in pain as the Sand Tomb hits it. It counters with a Flamethrower attack, but it's badly off its mark due to the sand.

Wukong's flame attack hits the Haunter, it hisses and counterattacks with a Night Shade attack. Wukong feels ghostly power constrict around him as it does marginal damage.

The Kadabra moves to attack, but the confuse ray throws it off its mark. The Steel Wings attack hits it hard, its frail body not weathering the storm effectively. That it hurts itself in its confusion is not helping either.

While screaming orders, the trainers continue firing on Napoleon, though it's not particularly effective they do want to protect the supplies.

Fist pump? Fist pump. Despite being glared at by Blue Rose who's hiding under the cart where the Tyrantrum is, Nero allows himself that gesture before throwing himself at the Houndoom, scrambling up to its back and holding onto its horns to steady himself.

Nero plays dirty, and loves doing so. And because his hands are full of Houndoom horns, he cant exactly use a move that needs them-- not that he has any. But he does have one move that only requires his mouth.

So he opens his mouth and readies a Dragon Rage aimed right at the head below him.

See? Fighting dirty.

The last Wukong-clone fell to the constricting attack, as did Wukong himself. He bounced back up quickly enough, though, and flung himself at the haunter to try and bite it on the head, as his arms are bound to his sides for the moment!

Success! With the Kadabra stunned and weak, Rosa feels confident enough to descend upon it, wrapping her huge wings around it and sinking her fangs into its throat for a ferocious Bite attack. While Rosa is doing her vampire thing, Eren rams into it with a powerful Iron Head attack. Two on one isn't really fair, but... neither is an ambush. As far as Eren was concerned, Gigas was playing dirty by attacking and sieging another city. They'd have to play dirty in kind!

Oh, those little bullets are very annoying. Napoleon turns to roar at the humans getting between him and his food. His tail begins to glow blue, engulfed in draconic flames, and he unleashes a powerful Dragon Tail attack to knock them away.

[Beams of red light recall the Haunter, Kadabra and Houndoom as they all faint under the onslaught. Meanwhile, several soldiers are sent flying by Napoleon's furious attack]

Pull back! Retreat!

[The soldiers scramble for safety, some helping those that are on the ground get up as they start fleeing before the might of the shifters]

Victory! Nero stands on top of one of the carts abandoned by the Gigas soldiers, whooping and yelling in Human, even miming two guns with his hands.

Though his actions could be more appropriately termed as taunts.

"Pew pew! That's what you get, assholes!"

Wukong is rolling on the ground laughing. Literally ROFLing. He eventually manages to work in "Bring me a REAL challenge next time!"
