::Wounds mount against the invaders thank to the help of cy and the Cyborg but there shere nobers make even cy efforts seem fruitless, they just seem to come, in endless wave after wave::
Re: Caern of Gaia's Grace (Tara, Ireland)
::They seem to surg in from the horizon, theyre seems no end in site over the chaous the Grand ender shouts::
"We need to hold the Caern, they canna last forever"
Re: Caern of Gaia's Grace (Tara, Ireland)
"You would know better then I."
Cy takes a deep breath and raises his sword. "This is rough..."
Cy charges four of the nearest enemies.
Re: Caern of Gaia's Grace (Tara, Ireland)
:A blast of sinckly green fire hit cy dead on charing his skin with the horific flam from some direction, several more flew over head, warriors all around fell, and somewhere over the din someone may be it was shandra maybe not someon shouted:
Re: Caern of Gaia's Grace (Tara, Ireland)
Cy stares blankly up as he smells his own chared flesh. He tries to move but only roles over and looks at whose talking.
Re: Caern of Gaia's Grace (Tara, Ireland)
::you nor dead yet but you are hurt, the voice come from one of the Bone Gnawer warriors i nthe frey. Shandra rolls by continuing her barage trying to stay alive and doing a damn good job of it being the lighting fast woman she is.::
"Damn it i should have studied Correspondence science i could set up a warp gate to get troops in here or something!"
"We're loosing ground...By Gaia what am i to do"
:reality seems to pause, the combat fozen in a instant off time, weapon paused in mid strike baeful green fireball paused in thin air as a shimmering aperation of reality materilized, despite the distance Shandra and Cy found themselves side by side starting at something from the Union Archives. Something they were always warned about "never abuse advanced science in static reality, if you bend reality to far it might crack causing a manifestation of the paradox effect. These Paradox Beings are sadistic beings who delight in tormenting the enlightened, and can bend reality to their whim to enforce their lessons::
Paradox: I am Shock you have 60 seconds to explain to me why i should reduced you 2 and your constructs to liquid flesh?
Re: Caern of Gaia's Grace (Tara, Ireland)
Cy blinks. "Holy @#%$!"
"We are simply trying to perserve the lives of those that are defending their home. We fight for a honorable cause great one."
Cy smiles at paradox. "We're screwed..."
Re: Caern of Gaia's Grace (Tara, Ireland)
::Shandra strightens a invisible suit trying not to look like some raving loon with her lack of clothes and all the dirt and burn marks she covered in::
"Sir we didn't have much of a chance, look around, now i know you don't concern yourself with the wars of our kinds and what not but what would happen if the malforms got hold of a level 7 to 8 node? You want to preserve reality right, what do you think the malforms would do with that kind of power?"
"Screwed up the ass with a metal poker! Were so dead!"
Re: Caern of Gaia's Grace (Tara, Ireland)
"We're fighting for a noble cause, and they are the ones that are coming through the thing that's tearin the world apart. They don't even look normal."
Cy begisn to sweat.
paradox: Point, but its a army of hundred out there did you need to join in. They may be bad for the health of the worlds future but you rip apart its present. Whoulf a handful of troops make the difference?
Shadra sweats tryingto hid her fear: But....But you said it yourself we bend reality, 6 people bending reaity is as powerful as a army, think how bad it would be without us...
::The paradox being narrows his eyes at Shadra in anger::
"That the kind of thought that causes people like you to unwravel reality at the seems for good. You got one last chance to speak then I pronounce judgement"
Re: Caern of Gaia's Grace (Tara, Ireland)
Cy sighs.
"We're doing this to promote racial peace between the Garou and ourselves. Imagine what kind of world it would be if because of our alliance with the Garou helped create world peace sir. We all need to take a risk at some time, and I chose my path by trying to bring the world together."
Cy lights a smoke thinking this will be his last.
Re: Caern of Gaia's Grace (Tara, Ireland)
::The eyes of the Spirit flashed a angry red::
"That's the last thing we need is for two reality rending races to join forces and destroy all i stand for! Talk lady maybe you can save both your hides."
::a tricle of liquid ran down Shandra's legs as she pissed herself in total abject terror, steeling her will she tried to compose herself::
"We'll sir it's the lesser of two evils, i mean i don't know the geater details of our enemy here but i know they serve nephadelic forces who seek not to manipulate reaity as you see us doing but to devore it whole."
::The spirits face seemed to lighten a touch and shandra found herself exaling a breath she did not know she had held::
"I will not liquify your flesh...net just yet, no but i will be punishing you. Cyclonus for a Week's time you will /not/ beable to ineract in ay way shape or form with athing outside of reaity's bounds, fireballs with disolve in your presence, advence technology will short out, id reverse the changes to your Template but its been loong enough for them to be naturally intergrated to your pattern."
::The spirit turned his glaze to shandra::
"You on the other hand are a real enigma, you claim to be a technocrat but you have the instincts of a animal, maybe reality would be better off if you could tell me what the hell is going through your head!"
::Shandra blinked, the spirit was asking her what she was thinking?:: "Well uh...."
::The spirit waves it hand dismissivly::
"I already know, that damable curse screwedwith reality enough as it is so this is what i'm going to do. Since i need to fix that problem 2, You will have to deal with this, if you sleep with that damn cursed wolves you can return them to human but you absorb their wolf essence. Whatever mutations you take on in the next month will stick permantently. If your so intent on being a wolf you can do some good in the process then i wont have to deal with you rending reaity in the aftermath.....
One more thing, your both going to be burned badly"
With that time resumed and the hitmarks stoped moving ,suddenly they sparked and all of them began to heat up until suddenly wave of fire sweap over the caern, laying everyone out cold with up to 3rd degree burns (3rd degree burns is when the flesh liquifies), most died ofvious the fire ball only koed cy due to his curse.
Anyone entering the battle field at this point will see miles of chared terrain and hundred of bodies
Re: Caern of Gaia's Grace (Tara, Ireland)
Cy wakes up and the moment he moves he's in extreme pain.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!"
He opens his eyes as best he can and sees the carnage left.
"My... god!"
He blacks out again.
Re: Caern of Gaia's Grace (Tara, Ireland)
Cy looks around for Sandra and stands blood oozing out from his chared body.
"Sandra, where are you!?"
He uses his sword as a kind of cane wandering the carnage.
Re: Caern of Gaia's Grace (Tara, Ireland)
ooc ok as a mod i'm going to step in
Cy's paradox effect prevents him from taking the moon bridge back or being healed magically, or with advanced science leaving him to be tended to by the garou who recover slowly as the fight off more invasion waves. Shandra can be healed and seems really exite about curing the wolf-cursed especially the becoming more wolf like aspect for her.
Your presented with a situation Cy, you have to convince the garou here to let the union set up a major base of operations to defend it but in a very realy sense the garou will loose a major caern to their technocric allies. They are very hisitent to have a major technocracy presence here.
Also if you feel it important you might want to try and convince shandra not to cure the wolves, it would mean she would become a wolf again. After my intelligence roll i came up with 3 succs so Cy should beable to realize at this point Shandra isnt right in the head, a peice of the wolf she was never retunred to human, you might try to convine her to get a psyche eval.
Re: Caern of Gaia's Grace (Tara, Ireland)
Cy sighs and looks around. He stands every movement a sharp pain somewhere on his body. Cy walks around looking for Shandra and the High Elder (OOC: I can't remember if he's called a high elder or not.).
"Hello?" "I got a lot of work to do. Get the Garou to let us build a base here, and at the same time talk Sandra into getting a mental evaluation and possible reconditioning. What can I do to help Sandra? She means the world to me."
"SANDRA! Where are you?"

::Shandra is huddled around a camp fire with the wounded. Listening to their war stories. And sharing her own::
"So there i was, low on fuel cells looking at this reject from a aliens film. Didn't have many options, so i set the gun to overload, the pyrotechnics were vulger as hell and the paradox backlash put me inthe hosptial for a week. Didn't even do much good but slow it down, needed to have a HITMARK finish the thing off."
Elsewhere the Grand Elder stands atop a mond of bodies his gaze fixed on the horizon and the next enemy wave
