Endgame Log: The City

[hadrielmods]

Who: The characters within Hadriel
What: The event log for the Null attack
Where: All over the city (and possibly outside)
When: June 15th
Warnings: None

The battle has been going on for awhile now, but this is when things really begin to kick into overdrive. The Null's primary target is the Door, but their secondary targets are all the god temples - particularly Hope's. It's time to fight, because if you don't, everything is going to end here and now.

Whether you're defending the Door, defending a temple, or finding some other way to fight or offer support to the fighters, you'd better be ready to go all out. The Null certainly are. Their forces seem almost infinite, especially with the way they can drag the remains of Null bodies from the field and repair and reanimate them. But then, that's true for you, too, as Hope flickers around each battlefield throughout the city resurrecting people nearly the moment they fall.

All the gods are fighting at your side. Some will fall, sending currents of emotion through the warriors on both sides, while others will fight on. It may seem like this battle will last forever, but there is an end - when the Null all begin to crumple, the life going out of them, signaling that the killswitch has been activated.

Then it's just you, and the living injured, and the city in ruins. But you've won, no matter what the cost!

[There's nothing in the whole damn universe than could stop two determined woman, back-to-back, adrenaline pumping through them and the weight of the whole damn world on their shoulders.

Laura lets loose arrow after arrow, finding her mark with her skillful expertise, just as Lup beside her is spinning magic from thin air, channeling all of her best spells into destroying the Null one last time, into taking out Hadriel's last threat. This deep into the battle, there's a bit of manic frenzy in the air, a growl in the elf's tone, not nearly as lighthearted as she'd been earlier in the fight.]

How you doin' back there? Good on arrows?

[outofthefire]

[Laura's absolutely determined to not fail again. Hadriel's been good to her, despite the stupid gods pulling their stupid shit, and she's not going to let anyone down.

and Laura's stripped of the arrogance of an easy victory she had at first. she knows that this is serious and she doesn't want to fail her friends. and she's not. she learned the likeliest locations of the cores and she's firing her arrows into them with brutal efficiency.

she gives a savage grin at Lup at her question]

Doin' great, but I could always use more arrows.

[restinglichface]

[She won't fail them and not just because there's no chance of them losing this.]

Can't help ya much there, but we can keep out an eye for more ammo. Just lemme when ya need a break. I can cover. No sweat.

[Fire may not have the same effect, but electricity always seems to hit these fucks right in the sweet spot. With an air of cracking magic at her knuckles, the woman casts chain lightning, an electrical bolt of energy hitting the first of the Null looming before them, before that arching magic leaps to the next, and then one more, shocking them all with enough force to explode their processors.]

[outofthefire]

[they can't afford to lose this]

Okay. Damnit, I should've brought a bag with even more arrows. Now I think of that. But, thanks. I really appreciate it.

[and her eyes widen at the chain lightning spell. now that was badass]

How'd you do that?
