The Sapphire Martyrss Operation In Navorost 250130
In the mystifying city of Navorost, under the cover of night, a perilous mission unfolds to secure an artifact potent enough to control the gates between realms. Amid the chaos, three distinct figures emerge as central to the unfolding drama: Lenny, aggressive and headstrong; Kitsune, cunning with a penchant for spectral foxtails; and Castiel, the embodiment of calculated courage. Their quest sees them navigating through hostile territories, confronting mercenaries of the Golden Shadow, and the Sapphire Martyr soldiers, in a relentless pursuit of the artifact. The clash is brutal, with Lenny's reckless valor, Kitsune's icy strategy, and Castiel's aerial dominance setting the stage for a confrontational ballet.
As the conflict escalates, the trio's synergy becomes their most formidable weapon against the adversarial forces. Lenny's brute force, combined with Kitsune's agility and Castiel's precision, weave a narrative of triumph and sacrifice. Each encounter tests their limits, their resolve hardened by the specter of a war that could be ignited by the artifact's power. The final confrontation sees them rallying against the Sapphire Martyr soldiers, a testament to their unwavering determination. Kitsune's mastery of the spectral foxtails and Castiel's protective fervor culminate in securing the artifact, a symbol of their victory and a beacon of hope for their cause. As they prepare for extraction, their camaraderie and mutual respect are evident, a reminder of the strength found in unity amidst the trials of their harrowing quest.
At Wed Jan 29 2025, in the city of Navorost
Mission: Intercept a powerful artifact said to control the gates between realms and bring it back to the extraction point.
In the densely populated city of Navorost lies an artifact of great power; a relic said to command the gates between realms. Its potential to change the balance of power is too tantalizing for any faction to ignore. The mission is a delicate one—secured in a fortress under tight surveillance, stealing this artifact will require clever strategy and cunning execution. The city is teeming with hostility and any misstep could plunge the brokers into a tumultuous war. The artifact's location may change the face of the Nightmare and spell doom or triumph for its inhabitants.

Kitsune casually posts up in the cover of the taxi, resting their arm on the handle of their katana. "Should we go introduce him to blunt force trauma?" they ask thoughtfully.
Castiel says, without hesitation, "Yes."

Lenny charges toward alley.
Slowly, Castiel sets a half-mask over his lower face. Half-concealing, half protecting. It sequesters foreign scents if nothing else - and with it, Castiel steps out of the cover he had taken behind the taxi with Kitsune - just to take to the air, high and above, with a single beat of his wings upon his back.
Lenny makes his way to the alley to settle into cover. He preps a pistol for the oncoming mercenaries while his backup shows up to provide some support against any rushes.

Lenny fires off a shot at Castiel which grazes his ribs.
Castiel says "When will that thing explode?"
Kitsune(vulpes lagopus fallaciter) sees the grenade too, and takes off into the air to wait for it to finish detonating. The taunts from Lenny do not really seem to affect them much. But then they wiggle their nine tails and head off elsewhere.

Castiel hardly even steps out of Lenny's strikes. Stands very still, in fact, while deflecting a blow or another with the simple twist of a blade or the nudge of his forearm in Lenny's path. His eyes remain unblinking in their vigor, their very real weight and flame that begins to weigh upon Lenny, down to force the man onto his knees with sheer gravitational weight of an unseen force pressing from above.

Kitsune hoists the artifact after Castiel finishes off the last Martyr. "I would expect another wave soon," they remark, taking a few moments to catch their breath, after fighting five enemies without really pausing. "Let's head out after they show up," they suggest for tactics today.
Kitsune says "Right on time.."
Nine white, spectral foxtails appear briefly behind Kitsune and wiggle briefly. With a flick, each of the nine tails sends a shard of ice toward a Sapphire Martyr soldier in urban combat gear! The ice sparks off the ground near her feet.
As soon as Castiel arrives, as if out of thin air, his wings pierce into a sapphire soldier, sword ascending in the next breath to bisect it into mist and awaken the man from his nightmare. As soon as he's through with the last enemy, his wings flick aside the remnant blood, and Castiel takes point - right behind Kitsune, wings stretched enough to cast a horrid shade over them both as his shield. "Move as you please, I will be your shieldwall."
Castiel notches a massive arrow and levels his bow at a Sapphire Martyr soldier in urban combat gear, with a loud release the air crackles upon an impact that deflects off her armor.

Castiel says "We have a long way to go, and your burden is hefty. Let's move."
Kitsune nods after adjusting the artifact, then takes off at a dead sprint to try to make their way across the field as fast as they can manage. Sure the artifact slows them down, but they are quite gifted in terms of speed.

Meanwhile, Castiel, having efforted to walk as slow as he did, circles around Kitsune upon the extraction. The tip of his blade is aligned to the floor to draw a perfect circle around Kitsune, not to entrap but to draw a line for him to stand within where the man can throw his foxfrost or fire or whatever sorcery he employs. The end of Castiel's stride is behind Kitsune - blade held to his side, at the ready, while his wings spread higher at his back. Every set ever poised and ready to fall in line and serve to deflect shield or bullet from Kitsune at the drop of a pin with all of his unerring, blurring speed.

Kitsune settles down after the last volley of foxfrost and sheaths their katana back at their hip. They hoist up the artifact once more and prepare to get extracted. "Well done, as usual. We will have to add this to the collection," they comment to Castiel, glancing down at the artifact before shrugging their shoulders, not seeming too concerned for what it may actually be.
Castiel swipes one wing against another, breaks off lodged in bolts and arrows and flicks the excess of them away before returning his vigil. His sword, for now, is stabbed into the earth, with both hands upon the decrepit pommel, one above the other while he waits.
Castiel says "Good work."
Kitsune says "Hai. "
Castiel says "Blah blah blah to you too."
The Lawful Extremists Alliance has proved victorious.
As the conflict escalates, the trio's synergy becomes their most formidable weapon against the adversarial forces.

Kitsune hoists the artifact after Castiel finishes off the last Martyr. "I would expect another wave soon," they remark, taking a few moments to catch their breath, after fighting five enemies without really pausing. "Let's head out after they show up," they suggest for tactics today.
Kitsune says "Right on time.."
Nine white, spectral foxtails appear briefly behind Kitsune and wiggle briefly. With a flick, each of the nine tails sends a shard of ice toward a Sapphire Martyr soldier in urban combat gear! The ice sparks off the ground near her feet.
As soon as Castiel arrives, as if out of thin air, his wings pierce into a sapphire soldier, sword ascending in the next breath to bisect it into mist and awaken the man from his nightmare. As soon as he's through with the last enemy, his wings flick aside the remnant blood, and Castiel takes point - right behind Kitsune, wings stretched enough to cast a horrid shade over them both as his shield. "Move as you please, I will be your shieldwall."
Castiel notches a massive arrow and levels his bow at a Sapphire Martyr soldier in urban combat gear, with a loud release the air crackles upon an impact that deflects off her armor.

Castiel says "We have a long way to go, and your burden is hefty. Let's move."
Kitsune nods after adjusting the artifact, then takes off at a dead sprint to try to make their way across the field as fast as they can manage. Sure the artifact slows them down, but they are quite gifted in terms of speed.

Meanwhile, Castiel, having efforted to walk as slow as he did, circles around Kitsune upon the extraction. The tip of his blade is aligned to the floor to draw a perfect circle around Kitsune, not to entrap but to draw a line for him to stand within where the man can throw his foxfrost or fire or whatever sorcery he employs. The end of Castiel's stride is behind Kitsune - blade held to his side, at the ready, while his wings spread higher at his back. Every set ever poised and ready to fall in line and serve to deflect shield or bullet from Kitsune at the drop of a pin with all of his unerring, blurring speed.

Kitsune settles down after the last volley of foxfrost and sheaths their katana back at their hip. They hoist up the artifact once more and prepare to get extracted. "Well done, as usual. We will have to add this to the collection," they comment to Castiel, glancing down at the artifact before shrugging their shoulders, not seeming too concerned for what it may actually be.
Castiel swipes one wing against another, breaks off lodged in bolts and arrows and flicks the excess of them away before returning his vigil. His sword, for now, is stabbed into the earth, with both hands upon the decrepit pommel, one above the other while he waits.
Castiel says "Good work."
Kitsune says "Hai. "
Castiel says "Blah blah blah to you too."
The Lawful Extremists Alliance has proved victorious.
