A Mystery Unleashed Playground 19

"I can't use this sword well," Niran said, then he grinned "I could give it a try, a live target is always the best."

Too bad I used up my magicka.

"Indeed...It's been, what, some hours ever since my last fight..."

"One." Sel announced. "And you aren't gone yet."

"This will be fun, tearing you apart, that is." Sel said, putting his sword up.

OOC: edited because, well....shogun isn't here.

Celia stared at Sel, not sure of what had just occured. She went over to Niran. "I'm confused... Whatever is going on? Is Sel back?"

Niran turned to her:

"Apparently," Niran said "I'm confused as well, Sel probably has a story to tell us after this ordeal is over. I certainly want to know what's been going on."

"I'm sure you would, Niran." Sel called back, not taking his eyes away from Osano. "the key word is after though..."

"Your allright, aren't you?" Niran asked Celia, worried he might have shocked her.

Damnit! Me against all of them?! Oh well. The fact that I can't kill them makes it all the more interesting. Osano drew his claymore of his back from under his robe, "I will warn you again; come peacefully, or die," he said angrily.

OOC: sry dantrag, got interupted

Anthanes smirked.

"You really think you can defeat m---us, fool?"

[quote=BobV]Anthanes smirked.

"You really think you can defeat m---us, fool?"[/quote]

Osano looked at Anthanes, "Who are you to question my ability?! I don't even know you, but it does not matter you will all soon be on the ground."

Niran turned

"He can't, he puts on an act. He'll run once we show our willingness to fight."

"Bite your tongue Niran!" Osano's anger was rising, "I was stronger than you to begin with and I've only grown stronger with the help of Arcyakt. Besides, you are the one who was always bluffing. Osano was enraged, but he would not make the first move.

"At least I did not betray my friends, you have gone off and joined the ranks of some dirty mage." Niran responded angrily.

Anthanes smirked at Osano. "I shall enjoy delivering you to Boethiah, fool."

To Niran's question, she responded, "Yes, I'm allright... Just a little confused."

She decided to stand behind the males. They would handle this situation. She herself wasn't sure whether or not to join in a bloodbath or just to warn Osano away.

Taking a deep breath, she spoke softly to Osano, "You have a choice, Osano. You can run or you can fight...Make your choice, quickly, though. These men are often quick to act..."

Osano thought about what Celia said. He ran the words through his head over and over. Fight or run? Fight or run? With Sel returning to himself, Osano took it upon himself to perform Death's duties. But taking all of them alive was out of the question. Osano did not say anything but stood his ground.

OOC; does anyone particularly want their char. to be captured?

Anthanes smirked. "Now be a good boy and leave and I won't have to show you your bleeding heart." As he said this, he went over to where he had dropped his belongings, quickly taking out one of his potions of fire damage, also called 'grenades' which he readied to throw in his other hand.

Niran looked Osano in the eye,

"Go now, while you have the chance."

"Don't touch him, Niran." Sel ordered. He quickly turned to Anthanes. "And don't even think about throwing that...thing of yours."

"I want this fight. I have a score to settle with Arcyakt. A major one. Why not start with his servant?"

Sel looked at his sword, disappointed that it wasn't the same one he grew up fighting with. It still kept its shape, but he missesd the its shiny silver and its green glow. A black sword with red glow could kill just as well though....

"To you, Osano, I will continue to be Death."

Osano thought seriously about leaving. But he knew they could not kill him. Hurt him, yes, but he knew he was close to--as the mage put it-- being immune to normal weapons. "I will not leave. I take it none of you will leave with me quietly so I suppose we will fight." Osano readied his sword. Maybe if I could lure them outside it would give me more room to fight.

Anthanes grunted, seemingly not at all intent on following Sel's orders.

Who in the void does that whelp think he is to order me around?!

"Whatever," Niran said, but he didn't act.

(OOC: Niran doesn't like Sel's bossy attitude No one can see outside, the sandstorm is still going.)

Osano directed his attention to Sel, "If you're sure you want to try then be my guest." One on one? This will be easy, he thought to himself.

[quote=gamer10](OOC: Niran doesn't like Sel's bossy attitude No one can see outside, the sandstorm is still going.)[/quote]

OOC: Sel doesn't like letting a bad deed go unpunished....by him.

Sel smiled at Osano. "Ready?" Osano didn't realize that he still had a bit of the strength Arcyakt had left him with as Death....

He sprung at him, slashing in the air, much like he had done to Fenris when he was 'Death'.

Osano swiftly brought his sword up to a block and reflected Sel's sword to the side; then swung his sword in a wide arch at Sel.

Sel jumped back, missing the longer blade by inches.

OOC: Osano has a dai-katana right?

Anthanes, positive that Osano was being distracted by Sel, uncorked the vial and rushed towards Osano, sprinkling the liquid all over him.

"BURN!"

After recovering from the missed attack Osano stepped towards Sel and brought the sword downward.

OOC: claymore

Osano felt the flames engulf him and began swinging his arms around wildly. However he came to his sences to realize he was not dead; barely burning. He felt the pain and the heat of the fire, but he was still living. Stunned by the miracle he examined himself closely...

OOC: wasn't sure what else to do.

Anthanes threw the empty vial at Osano's head, then stepped back, tapping his chin.

"Very interesting.."

Osano began laughing maniacally (sp?) at what had happened. "You see that?! You can't kill me! I am invincible!" Osano yelled. Angrier than ever he took his attention from Sel and approached the one who had set him on fire.

OOC: not really invincible

Sel was almost as mad at Anthanes as he was at Osano, still mad at being used.

"Invincible?" he asked, more than a little skeptical.

Anthanes grinned as he gripped his broadsword in both hands to meet Osano's strikes. "Nothing is invincible and certainly not you, fool!"

crap, screwed up, sry

i'm gonna wound someone maybe then teleport cause i gtg here soon...

Osano attacked Anthanes a few more time then quickly turned towards Sel. His sword followed his turn and was aimed at Sel's midsection.

Sel had a rather wicked thought. He activated his amulet, teleporting him in front of Celia, but behind Osano...

He promptly swung his sword horizontally, aimed for Osano's exposed neck from the back.

Anthanes gritted his teeth as he raised his blade overhead, intending to strike Osano hard in the back.

(OOC: Uh, what about Niran?)

OOC nobody cares

Niran swiftly ducked down and came out around Sel, once again beside Celia.

"Are you insane?!"

(OOC:yeah I noticed, lets figure he forgot Niran was standing in front of Celia, and if Niran doesn't duck, his own head will go.)

Damn! Osano realized his mistake but didn't have enough time to react. Sel's blade missed his neck but struck his shoulder and sent Osano off balance. He knew another attack was coming but didn't have enough time to react. He felt the steel of a blade strike him in the back. Osano fell to his hands but quickly recovered and turned to the attackers. Sword ready he inched towards the exit. I will either leave or fight them outside.

OOC: I dont care if you follow him or whatever

Niran stood in front of Sel and Anthanes spitting on Osano

"Let him leave. We don't need to pursue the honoured user."

Sel shrugged a small apology to Niran before chasing Osano outside.

Anthanes withdrew his sword, grinning.

"Mess with the best, die like the rest!"

He then began to ponder the merits of continuing or not continuing to fight Osano while the aforementioned tried to slip away. After some pondering he decided to stay inside.

Niran ran out after Sel, now he would get involved.

OOC: :evil5:

Anthanes sighed. "Damnable mob mentality..." He followed Niran and Sel outside.

Osano turned and ran for the entrance. Sel was getting ahead of himself chasing after Osano; for he can swing his longsword better when not surrounded by walls.

Niran lunged forward and grabbed Sel's shirt,

"Let him run damnit, let him run."

"Now you're just being hypocritical." Sel spat at Niran. "You know damn well that you wouldn't let him go if you had been used the way I was. Hell, I don't even know what I did, other than almost kill you." He took a deep breath. "Fine, I'll let him go - for now."
