OOC: Hard to have a path to victory when you Extirpate all my fun toys...;)
The demonic mage roared as the black energy crushed into his mind. His hand rose against the white monsters in front of him, black energy slashing forward towards them. His eyes turned to Cyouni. "I will rip your soul from your body, mage." As the bears charged forward again, the mists surrounding them swirled forward, forming the body of a dragon.
"Boy" - Life: ?? (-5)
Turn Actions: Cast Doom Blade on the Augur and Wring Flesh on the Soul Warden in the attack phase. Untap, play Swamp, attack Cyouni with the bears and cast Phantasmal Dragon. End turn.
For reference, I can't think of any reason why we would be unwilling to approve more characters for the RPG - more the merrier, plotline or not. The staff is a little busy, though. Apologies for the delays.
Kai's metallic hand flexed, fingers weaving in the air, forming a curved blade glowing with blue energy. With another flick of his wrist, the blade shot forward, slamming into the unfamiliar beast, unraveling the ties that bound it to the physical realm and causing it to dissolve in place until disappearing entirely.
With another flick of fingers with his other hand, the two bears charged forward, bearing down on the rogue mage. As the bears attacked, he reached into his cloak, pulling out a vial of glowing yellow liquid, keeping it firmly in hand in case he'd need it.
Kai's metallic fingers made quick gestures at the air in front of him, his eyes focused on the wild mage as mana surged through his arm. A flash of light erupted from inside one of the two wild beasts, breaking it apart as the spell holding it to the material plane suddenly dissolved. The beast's body fell apart into pieces on the ground before they, too, melted away into nothing. 'Gotta keep their numbers under control,' he thought to himself absently.
A large wisp of blue smoke rose from the ground in front of Kai, swirling around itself until it split into two, each trail of smoke quickly solidifying themselves into the shape of a bear. The two bears growled, their translucent bodies tensing as they stood in front of their master protectively.
OOC: I'll send satchel information after this post. Prioritizing getting posts up so that people can actually continue posting. Ugh. Apologies for the delay.
At Cyouni's actions, the mage roared, demonic energy fueling his outcry as the entire building vibrated with power. His eyes focused on the blue and black mage. "If you think playing with my mind will save you, you are wrong. For that, I will kill you first."
A finger rose, alongside the attached hand and arm, and the entire illusion army attacked the offending Cyouni. Another bear appeared behind the attacking force, materializing out of seemingly nothing, while the black flames continued to grow around the illusionist.
"Boy" - Life: ?? (-4)
Turn Actions: Attack Cyouni with everything, play a fourth Phantasmal Bear, pass turn.
OOC: Yeah - waiting on me, I would assume, and my city's oppressive desire to start construction in the middle of town and block off our public library for a month.
Kai simply stood behind Gully, for the moment keeping silent as he respectfully allowed enough time for her to attempt to reason with whatever was in the cave. His fingers flexed, however, as he kept a small trickle of mana - as well as his hidden blade - at the ready in case something went haywire.
Turn Actions: Play Island, ready weapon, pass turn.
The boy's body shimmered as it waved an arm dismissively at the three of them. Energy from the ground slammed into the attacking shadow creature, sending it back to its own plane. Another burst of energy wrapped around Cyouni's ring, blue flames devouring the ancient artifact before it even fully formed. His eyes glowed with amusement as black flames surged to life around his body, melding with the blue energies to create a maelstrom of demonic force.
"Surely this isn't all you're capable of," the boy spoke, his voice reverberating across the broken-down church. "I much prefer my food to put up a fight before I devour it."
As the remaining illusionary being from earlier charged towards Cyouni, more phantoms burst to life from around the three of them, bears that growled ferociously as they approached. They didn't look too happy...
"Mm." Kai had little faith that talking would solve anything at this point; it was evident that the mage knew what they were doing. Still, he didn't want to get on Gully's badside, so he kept his thoughts to himself as he followed behind her, torch fighting off the immediate darkness.
"It wasn't Gully - the creature was dismissed." Kai's lips curled downwards slightly as he moved closer to his teammates, his eyebrows lowering. "Which means we're dealing with something other than a few wild animals."'A mage,' he added to himself, though the implication was clear in what he said.
He sighed, his eyes looking out into the darkness, the lone torch in his human hand flickering in the night. This problem just got a lot more complicated.
OOC: Yes, your life totals are currently the same as they remained from the end of the previous battle.
The boy raised an eyebrow at the mage's words, before throwing his head back and cackling wildly. "Ah, such arrogance...as if the three of you stand any hope of defeating me."
Energy crackled in the air, power reverberating through the dilapidated church, stained glass vibrating against their frames as the boy's body rose from his sitting position, floating slightly above the floor, arms raised and pointing out towards each side. Blue flames rose to life from his palms, and his eyes burned with restrained anger. His lips curled into a demonic smile. "Come, then. Show me what three mages can do to a 'child' like me."
The illusionary creatures surrounding the so-called boy darted forward, weapons raised as they charged towards the three of you.
No cards from Theros are currently available; the set will be released in the future, which we have yet to determine. Probably when the main storyline arc releases, though the WPLs and I have to discuss ideas at the moment.
Apologies for the delay in posting. Life's been pretty hectic lately, and I haven't had much energy for anything except trying to maintain my sanity while things constantly go wrong.
OOC: Block as in...? The "unblockable" mechanic is much the same in our RPG as it is in the paper M:tG game. If you had a weapon that did two damage, that'd be one thing, but I guess I don't really know what you're asking.
My favorite card in Magic is actually the general I've used in EDH longer than any other - Atogatog. Atogs are one of my favorite creature types, and c'mon - who better to get behind than the king himself? One day I plan to get one altered when I find an artist willing to do commissions.
