Chaldean Chronicles: Cadence of the Lostgrail

"Well now that the reality flux has finally settled King of Heroes, where were we?" Dong Zhou pouted. "Oh yeah, we were killing the hell of each other."

@MoonBowBishPoisonFist

Ba'al would watch the city from a distance. Thousands of fire and pillars of smoke drifted from the city as even this far away she could hear the screams of soldiers dying and the clashing of steel. Wei artillery had been moved into place and was firing napalm-like substances into the city, creating massive firestorms that burned through the residential areas of the city.

11:13 PM

The goddess frowns and looks around from the sky, flying upwards using her powers as the goddess of storms, and the likes. She flies herself around two hundred feet into the air above the city, gazing towards the castle before using her Thaumaturgy to make her voice boom out as she speaks in the common tongue. "Traitor Dong Zhou... I speak out in the common tongue so that all might hear my voice! I one of the divine who has descended from the heavens after hearing the cries of the people, have grown tired of your existence... Your existence in this world at this point in time has angered we the divine... This is your punishment..." Upon finishing her words she draws her divine constructs and conjures up a mighty storm to rain down on the castle and whatever surrounding area that it might touch for the next bit. Never letting up, and displaying how the wrath of the divine can really effect the world.

Ba'al casts Storm of Vengeance!

Meta

Damage: 2d6 (2, 2) [thunder] = 4 DC: 17 CON Save Effect: Deafened (Storm of Vengeance) [5.1 minutes]

Suddenly a massive beam of light would erupt from near the broken gate towards Ba'al as the spell finally finished. But she would agilely dodge the worst of it with ease.

"And this is my reply," a booming voice replied, "When I am done here there won't even be ashes and cinders left!"

@MoonBowBishPoisonFist

As she concentrates on maintaining the storm she returns some words to Zhou, "How foolish of you to take action against a member of the divine. The heavens shall have your head for this!! Not even your soul shall survive once our plan has taken ahold!!" Ba'al frowns at this, then proceeds to lower herself some and prepares to deploy her Noble Phantasm should she be able to locate where Zhou was, but until then she will keep more of an eye out for that light beam.

(~~I assume 31 dmg to Ba'al?~~) (edited)

(radiant yes)

Ba'al: 49/80 (-31)

She continues to persist with the storm, but as it rages on she flies up, and up, and up and up, so high up to the point where it's highly unlikely any attack would even imagine being able to hit her. Aka she would be flying for a long time into the air to hit over a few thousand ft into the air, though keeping an eye on the palace for anything that might resemble an attack on her. Once she got to a comfortable spot though and her storm had completed, she proceeded to start creating a tsunami with her divine powers to show even further the wrath of the divine!!

Just as she was about to cast the spell she would sense a great buildup of mana coming from the city.

11:57 PM

@MoonBowBishPoisonFist

Ba'al frowned at this, rather than preparing to cast the spell, she prepared to dodge whatever attack was about to head her way as the mana she could feel was quite uncomfortable. In a weakened state compared to when she was a full divine spirit, this wasn't making her happy...

She would see that there was a figure rising from the palace, just a pinprick at the moment but coming close. And fast.

12:00 AM

@MoonBowBishPoisonFist

The goddess prepared for whatever was coming, keeping her blades out whilst she awaited for whatever was flying upwards to show itself to her... "How interesting..."

@Ba'al (@MoonBowBishPoisonFist) - jump Her robes billowed in the terrible wind as lightning crackled behind her. Spectral cursed wings bore her upwards. Her arms were crossed over her chest and her face was warped in a grimace. "Care to explain your vandalism of my holy capital, scum?"

"As I have stated, it is an offense to the divine. Do you truly believe yourself above the heavens?" Ba'al floats there for a bit, speaking coldly to the regent of Zhou though prepared to engage in a conflict with her should the need arise for it. "Surrender thine self for judgement and perhaps mercy will be brought to your soul." (~~Lol can I persuasion that?~~)

(for the memes yes)

Ba'al makes a Persuasion check!

1d20 (5) + 4 = 9

(awwww)

(From someone who rolls min of 30-40's to a 9, it be like that sometimes)

"As I have stated, it is an offense to the divine. Do you truly believe yourself above the heavens?" Ba'al floats there for a bit, speaking coldly to the regent of Zhou though prepared to engage in a conflict with her should the need arise for it. "Surrender thine self for judgement and perhaps mercy will be brought to your soul." (~~Lol can I persuasion that?~~)

@Ba'al (@MoonBowBishPoisonFist) - jump "Heh, fool. You stand alone before a God in human form." Zhou grinned dangerously. She reached into her robs and Ba'al would see a great golden cup in her hands. "All thanks to this my vengeance is upon you." The grail. Before she snapped her fingers and it disappeared. "So perhaps you should rephrase your statement. Surrender thyself and I shall show mercy. I may be Emperor but those who bow the knee I shall grant power beyond imagination with this. Your dreams, your wishes, all true under me."

"You believe divinity comes with having the grail? How foolish... You must utilize the power of a treasure of the heavens to ascend to this state... If I were in my truest form you would be no more than an ant before me... Let me warn you now, the heavens will not let this go." The goddess of storms laughs at Zhou's words, finding it pitiful just how dispirit for power the Emperor sounds to her. To her the Emperor was merely a child with an adult's tool, fooling around with it with but a selfish wish. "You would not dare to face anyone without the support of the grail... How disappointing..."

"Do you think me a fool? It does not matter how you defeat an enemy. As long as you crush them so that nothing remains." She played around with her claw-like fingernails. "If I am indeed an ant before you, why have you not crushed me then?"

"I believe you not to be a fool, just foolish as people are. Would you wish to go out of your way to crush ants whilst trying to pick up that which you have dropped on the ground? I have but taken this vessel as a means to return these objects to the heavens. Once that mission is done it matters not what you do, to the eyes of we the divine."

She brought up a black scabbard in her hand with a blade in it. There was a sick twisted smile on her face. She was enjoying this. "If you want it, you'll have to take it..." She thumbed the hilt upwards to reveal the cursed flamming blade held within it. "But you already knew that, didn't you?"

"How troublesome... Here I wished to finish this job in time so that I might be able to return to the heavens before any meals were readied... It seems as if that will not be so..." Ba'al lets out a small sigh of disappointment, she'd rather not fight it out right now but if she had to she totally would. The goddess already had her blades out and at the ready for anything to engage in a fight with the others, though does mental link Naomi to quickly speak to Olga so that she might be able to bring a strike team to the sky with her. "Of course I knew that, but it would not stop me from wishing as much..." ["Contractor, speak with your superior, I have forced the regent out of her hiding spot..."] @Orphelia/Naomi/Artoria

"You shall regret the moment you decided to approach me, Goddess," she fully drew her blade to reveal its firey core that burned with unimaginable amounts of mana. "Behold, the Blazing Sword of the Fire God Yandi, looted from the monks of Formosa under my orders!" "Let us finish this," with a berserkers scream she charged forward, lightning and wind blazing all around her.

The goddess coldly readied herself for combat, hoping that any support might come in soon otherwise she would need to request Naomi to pull her out. This weakened state of hers was not built for fighting a grailed up enemy as of this moment. "Who knows what might happen... I shall return that blade to the heavens as well!" Woo time for a air battle!!!

"Gah! Coward!" Dong Zhou screamed at the top of her lungs just as she was about to deal a follow-up strike.

With the Anti-Spatial Transfiguration sigil broken, Asteria Caelestis and her Servant have been sent out via long range instant travel to infiltrate the insides of the palace they've become familiar with.

5:32 AM

[Freeform combat rp]

Inari leaps from enemy to enemy, both of the swords her Master gave her so long ago in each hand. "Yosh."

Paracelsus sighs as he marches into the singularity, blade in hand and the elements at his command as he assists the battle in what ways he can. He primarily focuses on supporting others with magical buffs and healing those who have been downed, friend and foe alike, though he only heals the foes so much that they cannot continue fight but at least they won't die.

Alex would take some time off from doting on his girlfriend and go off into the battle, vanishing from sight as he stealthily made his way around to what appeared to be higher ranking officers and quietly removing them of their heads with his legendary pact weapon. He would appear later to fight by Veronica's side if she showed up in the battle though, displaying capability to not only assassinate, but also fight on the front lines with everyone else

The grail-powered soldiers fight with raw brutality. It's incredible to think that the grail has so much might, it can make even humans keep up with Servants.

[Everyone participating in this rp will gain 100 GP and 10 DT to one character of their choice.]

Jack leapt into the fray, Giggling with delight ad she leapt in. She seemed so excited to do something to protect her mummy. She began to slowly skulk her way around, invisible to all but the most perceptive of people.

Tristan stood atop a tower of the city, raining down darts of sound from the sky as he played the final requiem for this battle with his harp, the final song for those who shall die this day "How sad..."

"Forward's!" Francis charged through a breach in the wall, his shotgun held aloft as he blasted the first stumbling shadow onto the other side of the room. Several more came and he raised his submachine gun, cutting several down before they were on him with their blades and fists. But he held his gun aloft like a club and began to brutally crush each one of them one by one as one screaming bloody murder at the top of his lungs.

The sound of blade meeting flesh could be heard around him as Arran continue to dismember any grail-powered soldier as a distraction for the team to assassinate Dong Zhou. His face is covered by a gas mask, masking his steeled expression as he stab another man on his chest, before the sword disappear and exchanged by a handgun followed by the sound of gunfire ringing.

At a distance, for those who really cared about their surroundings, a gigantic blob of black tar can be seen resting on a building. It had several tendrils that grabbed the nearest soldier and either tossing them into the air or being consumed by the tar. This mysterious entity looks like it's with Chaldea but its best not to enter its blind rage. (edited)

Leaving behind a trail of soldiers impaled with what seem to be spears made out blood are none other than Klara Silverbane. She seems to be closely following along with Sun Quan and the group as she occasionally casted her Healing Magecraft. Despite being a Magus, she seems to be physically capable enough to hold herself by her own with the help of Magecraft as she smashed the skulls of the grail empowered soldier that's coming for her with her reinforcement imbued staff. Even without her servant or not as strong as her father, Klara are still a force to be reckoned with.

Not so far away from this aberration would be Asclepius. He stood on top of a building and his serpent seems to be delivering injured soldiers onto the rooftop. Rather than killing them... Asclepius seems to be treating them. Both friend and foe. "Sigh. This is why I hate wars. It's always a mess."

A Berserker, one hundred elite Zhou soldiers, and twelve rogue golems, and a random cat walk into a room. The Berserker is the only one that leaves. As well as the cat.

Mummies of what appeared to be Egyptian looking ghost could be seen roaming the streets, leaving soldiers in their dust as they all seemed to have rot down into their bone without any sort of wounds in the body. Walking past such scenery are a tanned skinned girl in a Egyptian clothing. She seem to exudes a aura of regale as she release a wave of black coloured beams toward the approaching soldier, hitting them accurately and blasting them down.

Right by Arran's side is none other than Sun Quan, the ruler of the Wu Kingdom. "My, my~ how scary!" Enemy blades keep swinging for her, and she relies on nothing but Arran's skills and instincts to keep her alive.

After making some space before the next wave came, Arran release a fire magecraft that explode on the group of soldier. "Go back to your soldier." He said to the woman next to him. His voice a bit blurred from cover of the mask "I cannot guarantee your safety if you are near me."

"Then I'll just have to guarantee my own." Sun Quan raises her right hand, revealing the faded red marks of what was once a Command Seal. "It's not like I have anything to lose anymore," she says, sticking her tongue out in a childish manner. An arrow comes flying towards her.

*With a quick reflex, Arran grab the arrow that fly quickly toward Sun Quan and shoot the soldier with his gun. His hand that catch the arrows grip it tightly until its snap into two and he throw it to the ground. Sun Quan could see that Arran look at her from his mask before he turn back to continue the fight.

Staying behind the rest of the group would be Touko, a focused look adorning her face. Cradled in her arms would be Avicebron— whom she has carried as though he was a precious spoil of war. With her Servant, Kama, at her side, the Magus stopped to take in the view of the war. Many Servants and Masters have come to join in the final fight, and there was no way she was missing out. Especially now that they had the support of the enemy caster’s golem summons with them. “I suppose we are not getting any rest today, are we? But that doesn’t matter. At least we’ve made it just in time.” she said to her Servant. “Kama, command Avicebron’s golems to fight Zhou’s forces. I’m sure they would be a great asset to this fight!” A rare smirked appeared on Touko’s face. Kama may have influenced the young magus a little too much… (edited)

Seeing the two in the front of her, Klara couldn't help but to let out a sight. The weird feeling of her chest still throbbing without any sign of stopping as she used this chance to distract her. "Eihwaz, Dagaz, Ehwaz." She chants a runic magecraft under her breath as she would partly open her jacket, revealing various medical equipment like scalpels, scissors, and more that's made out of silver as runic letter could be seen glowing on all of them. "Release." With that declaration, all of of her equipment would spring to life, all aimed at the surrounding soldiers as she begin dissecting them all apart in a blink of an eye. Lookz like the doctor is in.

A smug smile was on the face of the second accession kama as she stood next to her master who was carrying Aviceborn princess style who was also forced into a maid outfit by Kama and Touko. It was absolutely hilarious that they had done this but kama was loving every second of it. A device in her hand was recording Touko's glorious moments, a camera was what Touko called it. What a fascinating device. She nodded her head in response to her master's question. "Indeed we're not, but that is to be expected of the climax of a battle." She smiled sweetly at the command also too happy to comply with Touko's commands. "Gladly master, you heard master, Maid Aviceborn-chan. Have your golems Aid Chaldea in combat." She gave her commands to him as she watched Aviceborn and Touko specifically. Kama was a great influence, no one could tell her otherwise.

"Why must you demean this like this..." the former caster moaned as he was carried in Touko's arms like an infant. He was humiliated enough after his Golem was killed yet these bastards didn't seem to know the concept of enough was enough. "If I do it will you stop doing this to me?"

"Hmm... What do you think master? Think we should let him off easy?" @hei_g

Of Course, Veronica wouldn't miss the chance to help out in the final battle. Though she doesn't believe she is fit to fight on the front lines with her current Skill level, she will offer protection to her fellow Masters. No Stray Arrow shall pass this Girl.

"Hmm... What do you think master? Think we should let him off easy?" @hei_g

@Kama (@Thicc|Fie/Ali/Ayu/Miyu/Nag/Mel) - jump ”Well, simply leaving him on his own is not an option. It would be troublesome if our Caster got hurt in the midst of battle,” she sighed. “Let’s show him some mercy, but that does not mean he’ll stay unsupervised either.”

"At least let me take off the maid dress"

6:26 AM

"It is so tight in all the wrong places"

"Fine, fine. As master said you'll get off easy but don't think you'll go unsupervised." Kama raised a eyebrow hearing that Aviceborn wanted the maid outfit off. "Aww but you look so cute in it." She spoke in a mocking tone as she held a wicked grin on her face. "If your golems work hard enough you can take it off, deal?"

"Well said, Kama!" She said with a small laugh. "You heard the boss. Do your best, Avicebron, I'm sure you can do it!"

"For my sake, my children," he sighed, "Please, kill as many of Dong Zhou's troops as you can."

Inari leaps from enemy to enemy, both of the swords her Master gave her so long ago in each hand. "Yosh."

@Inari (@Angelic) - jump Which was soon followed up by.. "Yosh!" A sudden Monta appearing and stunning one of the enemies with a flurry of blows before appearing next to Inari.

~~"Oh singularity is over, finally," Aviceborn would take out a glock and blow his brains out.~~
