Fandom The Dawn Brigade, Equestria's Fall (EF)

[Ebonysdagger]

"Bad move." Using his typical unicorn telekinesis he sweeps some of his hair forward into the arm of the near griffon letting all those little needles with the paralysis effect in them nick it. He pulls back so as to avoid the slash.


Behind star the warriors form up to keep the mages protected as they engage any griffons that get in close. (Enemy count?)

Greenwall raises her eyebrow as the battered soldier jumps down the hole "Have fun blue?"

The griffon freezes up, but his momentum keeps carrying him towards Star


(20 left)

 

[Ebonysdagger]

Star moves out of the way of the frozen up body but rears back to buck the griffon in the spine the moment he lands on the ground.


The warrior types form a defensive circle around each of their assigned mages to keep them safe while holding off the enemy as they can. Whenever they get the chance they go in for a kill as the mages toss less showy stunning and paralysis spells so as to avoid alerting more griffons to the fight. Whenever a griffon goes down the warriors finish it off as soon as they can.

 

[Pleaseworkforonce]

The griffon lay still on the ground. The rest of the griffons realize they are going to lose this fight and attempt to flee for reinforcements

Greenwall walks to her map as several chess pieces teleport onto it. " 3rd Squad! The Lunars have been ambushed. Rescue them from the ambush and assist them in completing their mission." Greenwall smashes the crystal projecting the command center causing everything to disappear. "The rest of you are with me! We will scale the mountains east side and attack the lab. Even if we are seen, the griffons will be forced off of the Lunars to deal with us. Either way at least one of the groups will complete this mission.

[Ebonysdagger]

Star uses his telekinesis to try and twist the neck of any straggling griffons while snatching up any bow one of the warriors may not be using and trying to pick off any fleeing ones. Hopefully the rest of the warriors will get the idea and fire too. "Don't let them escape."

 

[Pleaseworkforonce]

Several griffons fall, but one manages to escape from most of the group and starts to fly towards the barracks (still in bowshot range 20% chance to hit per shot. In the time it takes to notch an arrow and fire the chance reduces by 5% until the griffon escapes)


Hint: roll a 99 faced die. 
Greenwall watches 3rd squad depart to assist the Lunars. "Alright men get your climbing gear on, this is going be a long one."

 

[Ebonysdagger]

Star fires toward that last griffon. (Hm.. I got a 65. Had to find a dice roller that could do a 99. Did not notice this thing had a dice roller until after I had already rolled elsewhere. We can go with that 29 or whatever it was then if you prefer.)

 

[Pleaseworkforonce]

(Ah so close. You have missed four shots and have 2 left before your chance of hitting reaches zero., Btw I worded this so you could get creative and cheat)


Griffon weaves through the air dodging three arrows, but a fourth one gashes his cheek

 

[Balancer]

Focusing his mind for a moment Blue strengthened the telekinetic field around him, the ground at his hooves cracking slightly as he dug his hooves in preparing to jump.


"Ready to ascend on your order ma'm." He says, a hum emanating from his plate as it vibrated.

 

[Pleaseworkforonce]

Greenwall rolls her eyes as she casts a spell on the troops hooves. "Move out men!" Greenwall started to run up the cliff, her hooves sticking

 

[Balancer]

Seeing Greenwall start to climb Blue launches himself up the cliff, soaring past her leaving a wake of blue magic behind him as the ground cracks beneath him. Using his telekinesis to enhance his strength he slams his hooves into the rock, crushing it as he makes sizable hoof holds in the rock. Using the indents to launch himself up the cliff in a series of quick jumps he rapidly leaves the rest of the land based squad behind, shooting up past the lip of the cliff.

 

[Ebonysdagger]

(Heh, never tell me I can cheat as it only leads to two headed coins and decks of aces and royals.)


Star fires a few more times to try and tag the griffon as the other soldiers also fire off at him.

 

[Pleaseworkforonce]

@Ebonysdagger


The griffon dodges Star's arrows, but is hit by one of the many arrows fired by Star's allies. He crashes to the ground dead.


*Result: Star used soldiers with him increasing the odds of hitting by 10% per soldier* (I'll try to always include a way to cheat the system if you're creative enough)


@Balancer


A passing patrol of twenty griffons spot Blue as he clears the ridge.


@All


The troops moving to assist the Lunars have been wiped out en route. The Surviving lunars have been captured or killed

 

[Balancer]

Twisting in the air Blue spots the griffons and reacts on instinct, grabbing them in his Telekinesis and pulling them closer as he makes a quick shield beneath himself. Orientating the shield so that he was facing the griffons he leaps towards them, his enhanced strength causing his heavily armored bulk to rip through the air towards the most important looking Griffon as he swings sword behind him.


"Get over here!" Blue roars, blue magic steaming after him as he pulls the luckless griffons into his reach, sending a couple steel tipped bolts ahead of him.

 

[Pleaseworkforonce]

The bolts slice through two griffons. The Griffin in front of the flying unicorn quickly draws his sword and angles it so it will impale blue

 

[Balancer]

Unable to alter his trajectory Blue throws a punch at the Griffon, his extended leg catching the blow and sending the blade up along his shielded leg plate where it skips off his helm. The hoof crunches against the Griffon's head, crushing it as Blue's great sword rips through the air around him, slashing in a whirlwind of gore.


Beginning to drop Blue continues to slash against the griffons in the air, the bodies dropping around him as he twists in the air to fire off a couple of shots at a griffon who managed to break free of his grip. Suddenly Blue feels the ground crunching beneath him, his skin shield flicking as in takes the brunt of the impact, the jolt messing with his casting causing the telekinetic field around the remaining three healthy griffons to drop.


Stumbling to his hooves Blue grabs his blade as it fell out of the air, redirecting it so that it impaled one griffon while he shot the other with his crossbow. The remaining griffon quickly taking off in a random direction his wings fueled by panic.

 

[Ebonysdagger]

"Good shot fellas. Now, lets hide these bodies quickly and remove any traces of blood and then get a move on. Can't leave behind traces of a battle if we can help it but we can't spare too much time for this either. Do it quick but clean, eh?" He sets about dragging the nearest griffons over and then digging a small trench in the snow to toss them in.

@Balancer


Greenwall and the rest of the soldiers finish ascending the mountain to be greeted by the mass of bodies. "That's why you stay with the group dumbass" Greenwall launches a dagger at Blue's armored hoof 
@Ebonysdagger


The soldiers quickly hide the griffons bodies

 

[Ebonysdagger]

@Pleaseworkforonce


(There really needs to be a button for tagging.)


Star continues to lead his group toward their target making sure they are a bit more cautious from here on out. With some luck the group should make it without being spotted again. "After all, what are the odds of that happening a second time?"

 

[Pleaseworkforonce]

@ebony


They reaches the barracks without incident. You can see the back entrance of the barracks from the small pathway you are on.

 

[Balancer]

Swatting the dagger away with the flat of his sword Blue trains his crossbow on the fleeing Griffon, going dead still for a second before firing. A loud thwack fills the air as Blue charges the crossbow with his telekinetic field, the bolt being propelled through the air at a much higher speed. The Griffon jerks for a moment as the bolt rips through it's lower back and it tumbles out of the sky.


"All clear ma'm, lets go get the target before the griffons know we're here." He says, ignoring the dagger.

 

[Ebonysdagger]

@Pleaseworkforonce


Star slinks up on the entrance taking the most stealthy members of his group. "First lets slip in here and make sure the coast is clear then bring in the rest." Star slips in after giving the order hoping his stealth is up to par. It should help that he is only wearing his robes and the like rather than any heavy armor or anything of the sort.

Greenwall says "Take the fighters to the laboratory. The side of those cliffs are fake, but unlike ours they have a wall built around a doorway behind the illusion." Greenwall takes out a red gem and smashes it into the dirt releasing several jars of wildfire. "The rest of you help me blow this cliff off the side of the mountain." Greenwall motions towards the cliff they just scaled. "Oh and watch out for lava on the otherside men. Once you have caused enough carnage to their facilities there should be a stair case along the sides of the interior that will lead you to the laboratories basement." Greenwall nods to the pegasai and they fly up towards the submit.


A small griffon hiding from the ponies lights a piece of paper on fire and watches the ashes blow towards the barracks.


@Ebonysdagger


Inside the kitchen a griffon is cooking a slab of ribst a yard long. He is putting on the last layer of barbacue now. Near the back door is a icebox full of meat.

Watching the area Blue catches sight of a small cloud of ash drifting through the air. "Ahhhhhhh crap." He says out loud. "Green, I've got good news and bad news. Good news, we don't have to bother with sneaking. Bad news, we don't have to bother with sneaking." He turns to look at the 'cliff' as he arms an explosive bolt.


"Looks like we're breaching hard and fast." Blue points at a couple of unicorns. "You two go great our little bird over by the rocks, the rest of you be prepared to storm this base when I blow a hole in the door head straight for the basement. We need to take this Griffon scientist alive."


Looking around at his troop Blue nods. "Get to it, we go once Green starts chucking the hellfire."

Greenwall shrugs as she lowers a pot of wildfire down the hole she just drilled with her magic. "Oh well, hopefully Star will finish blowing up the barracks before they get a chance to get organized"
