Battle With Jackov 240731
In the tension-filled environs of Badwater Park's Grassy Fields, a diverse team of warriors gathered under the waning crescent moon, preparing to confront the malevolent entity known as Jackov. Freya, with a protective instinct, signified her readiness to absorb attacks for her comrade Niko, while others like Harriet and Jodie opted for offensive strategies, wielding rifles and foregoing them respectively. Amid the unfolding chaos, mystical summonings by Autumn introduced a new dimension to the battle, as she called forth an entity and directed her arrows towards Jackov, who was already under siege from the unyielding charge of Nikolai and the strategic gunfire of Freya, despite her initial miss.
As the confrontation escalated, Jackov cleverly manipulated illusions, turning the group's attacks against one another briefly, fostering confusion and forcing the team to reassess their tactics. With determination, the group adapted, harnessing magic and raw strength to corner Jackov. The battle reached its crescendo as Freya, transformed into a massive wolf, led a ferocious assault alongside Juniper and a reinvigorated Jodie, also in wolf forms. The collective might of the group, enhanced by Autumn's fiery enchantments and Elias's frost magic, overwhelmed Jackov. Amidst the fury of claws, bullets, and magical assaults, Jackov's pleas and attempts to preserve its mask went unheeded. Ultimately, the entity was decisively torn apart, its tears and cries fading into the night, marking the end of its reign of terror. The group's unyielding resolve and diverse abilities showcased the strength found in unity against a common foe, leaving the Grassy Fields eerily silent once more, save for the panting of victorious, albeit battle-worn, warriors.
(Battle with Jackov)
[Tue Jul 30 2024]
In the Grassy Fields of Badwater Park
It is after dusk, about 92F(33C) degrees, There is a waning crescent moon.
Freya says "Call if you need me to take hits Niko"
Harriet decides it would help if she grabbed her weapons, and so... she does.
Jodie chases after the knife wielding figure, she either forgot her rifle or never had one to begin with. "Well this is going to be quick."
"Come, Ifrit," Autumn speaks before black smoke starts to appear. Facing Jackov, she then readies her bow and fires her arrows.
Harriet lifts her rifle and peers through the scope, taking aim at Jackov.
There's no real subtlety to Nikolai's style of charging Jackov down. He is a rhinoceros seeing fire, and his feet belt like mute thunder along the soft boundaries of the nightmare as fire whooshes from his hammer at the figure.
Freya chases after Jackov as well, her heels totally clicking in the nightmare if you can make sounds in the nightmare from walking. She brings her rifle up and fires a shot. apparently completely missing the knife wielding maniac.
"It's blade is focus," Autumn says while she chases after Jackov. "Be careful of what it will cast."
Not taking any effort to advance like everyone is, Elias runs his fingers along his watch as the crystals on it start to glow. The temperature around him drops a few degrees. He lets out a breath of cold mists and it starts to form into a fox-like creature.
Not so surprised to be caught and twisted around into cover for Jackov, Nikolai grits his teeth in a grim expression as he expects pain to be forthcoming. "You are not running anywhere, nightmare shit," he spits.
Freya says "You going into Melee Niko? Is it safe for me to go?"
Freya says "Or is it going to make me attack you?"
Nikolai says "Get in close while you can."
"This is not how the game is played! The teams are stacked!" Jackov complains sourly from behind it's mask, twisting Nikolai about to try and defend itself.
Freya says "we're all attacking niko for some reason"
Freya says "How do we stop it.."
Autumn says "Illusion magic!"
"Damnit." Elias says as he fires off a shot and it hits Nikolai, grumbling at the though, "It is using magic."
Freya grumbles as well as she one shots Elias's fox. "How do we stop it from using magic.."
Nikolai says "I am just, eh, grappling with it. Wait for me to break away. Take opportunity to close ranks."
Autumn says "Fighting magic with magic."
Freya says "Alright let me know when you back off"
"Yes, don't trust your eyes with it, trust your sense." Elias says as he moves forward, hesitating to take a shot as he moves forward.
Freya says "Did I .. get the right person?"
Jackov says "No! "
Autumn says "Yeah. "
Freya lifts her pepperspray up in the direction of the figure and sprays him liberallyyyy with the spicy mixture.
Nikolai says "Now. "
Leveling his rifle as he aims down the sights as Nikolai moves out of the way, Elias fires a shot with an echoing boom from the rifle, "Much better."
Harriet keeps her focus on Jackov, watchng where the monster moves with the muzzle of her rifle trained on the thing.
"Your games are over." Replacing her bow with her large katana, Autumn burns Jackov as the blade's runes glow red-orange.
Autumn says "Huh... Ifrit didn't appear?"
"They didn't even get the chance to begin!" Jackov whines with another hiss as they try to avoid the various blades and bullets.
Jodie moves sluggishly and still hasn't actually gotten within mace smacking range of the monster. She huffs tiredly. Looking worn out and hungover for probably the obvious reasons
"Monsters always expect fair fight," Nikolai laughs, booming across the nightmare. "You are not human. This is not your world. Why would we give you chance?"
"Where's the fun otherwise?" Jackov huffs back as they scramble away!
Nikolai says "Blyat. "
Freya(wolf) seems to be moving awfully slowly as she tries to chase the figure down
Preparing his rifle once more, the crystals once more glow on his watch as a thin layer of frost starts to form on his sleeve. Elias closes his eyes for a moment as he steadies his aim at the otherworldly creature.
Juniper(wolf) prowls beside Freya(wolf), just emitting a throaty growl as she tries to close in the gap.
Harriet gets hit pretty good, but she heals remarkably quickly, looking almost as good as new a moment later.
Freya(wolf) leaps onto the figure, a house sized wolf landing on a monster that still looks small in comparison to her. Her white fur bristles as she snarls down at the figure.
"Fuck!" Nikolai curses, in English for once. His eyes slam shut and he goes for a wide swing, unapologetic.
With A glowing salamander with fiery wings by her side, Autumn swings her massive blade against Jackov with her eyes narrowed. "Just like nightmare swordswoman's blade."
"Can't fucking see," Nikolai hisses, but that's not to say he doesn't still have the spirit. He just stops aiming, instead
Once Jodie(wolf) makes it to the knife wielding figure, she turns in a conflagartion. Joining the other two wolves in trying to pick apart the montser.
Freya(wolf) howls and grabs the figure's leg in her teeth and starts pulling in one direction, her tail lashing low against the ground as the wolves absolutely tear the thing apart.
Finally, Nikolai can bear to open his eyes again, and slams his hammer down at Jackov's feet, trying to knock the monster off balance. "It is a pretty mask you have," he admits. "Fucking abomination."
Freya(wolf) yips at the other wolves, snarling at the figure's back as she tells them to takedown the figure.
"..Thanks." Jackov groans out, despite being beaten to death. Compliments are few and rare where it's from.
Jodie(wolf) fights in her element, snarling and snapping at Jackov's flanks with the assistance of other wolves and a bunch of others. There is so many bullets and blades swinging she has to be careful not to get caught by friendly fire
Freya(wolf) sinks her teeth and claws into Jackov, her snow white coat turning red where the monster's blood stains her, making her wolf face a mask of blood as she snarls and goes in for another bite.
Juniper(wolf) snarls as she springs back from haunches and throws her significant weight against Jackov to take him down. Dripping saliva spatters the figure from her curled maw.
"Don't break my mask! Don't break my mask!" Jackov screams out as he's bitten, and stabbed and shot at.
Autumn says "Wolves are not pets!"
Freya(wolf) snarls as the figure makes it harder for her to see him, her claws gouging lines in the ground as she looms up over everyone, her nose sniffing as she tries to sniff out the illusionist.
Jackov begins to sob, tears spilling out from beneath it's mask, "No, no!"
Freya(wolf) snarls at the figure, there is no mercy in those wolf eyes as she tears into him viciously
As the confrontation escalated, Jackov cleverly manipulated illusions, turning the group's attacks against one another briefly, fostering confusion and forcing the team to reassess their tactics. With determination, the group adapted, harnessing magic and raw strength to corner Jackov.
