[Create Breach: Everspire: Elynmoor]


    Nix stepped through the Breach with Mina, her Vs, Mt, Ha, and Ducky. The sound of gunfire and weapons crashing into armor was the first sound he heard. "Ha stay behind us and take cover when we get closer."


    [Summons: Cal, Tor, Shadai]


    Nix pointed to the sky. "Stay airborne, provide us healing and ranged support


    /Expedition: Nix: Ronnie! Report!


    /Expedition: Ronnie: A smallpany of natives has managed toe over the walls near the Inn. We are holding them at Market Square. Chael and Bali have set-up on a nearby roof and are keeping more reinforcements from joining in.


    /Expedition: Nix: Where are the rest of our snipers and Zeta team?


    /Expedition: Ronnie: Zeta is holding our camp from being overrun. Darsi, Moki, and Dalton were headed to the east wall to provide fire support, they''ve been cut off and are in a squirmish.


    /Expedition: Nix: We''ll go after the sniper team, we need them on the east wall to finish this fight. Continue to hold the camp.


    /Expedition: Ronnie: They are super-resistant to fire and water damage. They carry guns and des; heavy caliber handguns and shotguns. I even saw a few hammer wielders among them.


    /Expedition: Nix: Understood. Sending Ha to your location. Make sure he stays safe.


    Nix opened a breach to the market square and waited until Ha stepped through.


    /Expedition: Ronnie: Is Ha a ferret-man?


    /Expedition: Nix: Yes, they are called Che.


    /Expedition: Ronnie: The Che guy is here. No worries.


    Nix sprinted down the side street that headed toward the eastern wall. The sounds of gunfire became louder as they closed on the scene. "Our snipers don''t have a healer and aren''t equipped for melee, let''s get in the fight!"


    The Arch Winds immediately circled the area, a sh of light and Cal was sent crashing into a nearby rooftop. The remaining two banked away and came up behind the snipers from Inferno.


    /Inferno: Nix: Careful, they shot some sort ofting at Cal and brought him down.


    The sniper team were being pinned down by a half dozen fighters that were trying to nk them. Three melee fighters who weren''t actively fighting moved to intercept Nix and hispanions.


    Arge man with wide shoulders and bulging muscles walked casually toward Nix. In his hand, he hefted a great sword that was nearly five feet in length. The man''s brown face looked like it was coated with dark mud, cracks littered the surface like a shattered mirror. On top of his head, he wore a skull cap equipped with the antlers of some great beast.


    Nix summoned his scimitar and stepped in to test the man''s strength. An instantter their des collided in a deafening sh of steel. The great sword was cut in half and Nix''s sword cut deep into the man''s chest, driving him backward.


    Yago the strong has been stunned.


    [Charm]


    Ducky has convinced Ulthor to fight for her.


    Ducky immediately sent Ulthor after their own range fighters that were trying to pin down the Inferno snipers.


    Mt targeted the hammer wielder that charged toward him.


    [Oil Slick]


    Borsh the crazed has fallen into an oil slick.


    Mina sent two Vs at the fallen man and continued toward the range fighters.


    [Copyright]


    A Gemini Trickster has assumed the form of Borsh.


    Mt gripped the great hammer in his hands and charged forward. A loud battle cry that he had never heard before was shouted from his lips.


    A half dozen strands of emerald mes wrapped around the legs of the stunned Yago and Nix stepped forward, striking him in the forehead with the spiked handguard of his scimitar.


    Nix hasnded a significant strike on Yago.


    Yago was knocked to the ground, Nix jumped high into the air and brought his scimitar down in a brutal attack that carried all of his strength.


    Yago has been in.


    Nix nced at the 2nd Krayven, the Vs were close to finishing him off so he ignored him and moved forward while activating his stealth package.


    He closed quickly on the nearest shooter. The Krayven was smaller than the others, Nix took that as a sign of his youth. He carried a drum-fed shotgun that boomed louder than any weapon on the battled field. Nix sent a dozen strands of emerald me to wrap around it and jerked it out of the shocked hands of the fighter.


    The fighter recovered quickly and produced two heavy caliber handguns from his leg holsters. Nix shed toward him and struck him hard on the chest. The blow knocked the fighter back into the wall he was using for cover. An instantter a half-dozen strands of emerald me wrapped around his body and jerked him forward. Nix''s charge met him halfway, his de slicingpletely through his target''s neck.


    Nix has in Quickshot Filo.


    The rest of the Krayven was already dead by the time Nix finished off Filo. He bent and picked up the shotgun before stowing it in his inventory.


    Mt didn''t seem to suffer any effects from copyright this time, perhaps the massive power or size difference in Znexor had caused the issue.


    A grinning Darsi waved at him. "Thanks, Trip-7."


    "Wee, Dars. Get on the wall and provide fire support for the main camp."


    The blond nodded and left quickly with her former dis teammates.


    /Expedition: Ronnie: They are retreating from the camp and heading back toward the wall. Shall I have Chael and Bali stop them?


    /Expedition: Nix: No, let them leave. Bring all the bodies back to camp.


    Nix grabbed Yago and Borsh by the ankles and started dragging them. A few minutester he arrived at the market square where Shadai was tending to the wounded. "Is Cal okay?''


    The Arch Wind healer nodded. "Just bruised a bit. They shot a at him."


    Nix let go of the bodies and moved to the stack of weapons that were being collected. He added the shotgun he had stowed away in his inventory. "They have a wide variety of very effective weapons."


    "Nix!" A tall redhead called out his name. She wore dinged up Inferno armor and several strands of her hair hade loose. Without speaking she embraced him for a moment, cupping his face with her hands before kissing his forehead. "Nice of you to show up."


    "You okay Hyai?" Nix pushed a strand of her hair behind an ear.


    "Yes... These bastards are immune to fire." Hyai raised a bloodied club in one hand. "Not immune to wood though."


    Nixughed at the gesture. "I don''t think they are immune to fire."


    /Expedition: Nix: Nansu,e here, please.


    Nix knelt down next to one of the corpses and equipped a dagger, he sliced a bit of the dried y that was attached to the Krayven''s skin. By the time he stood up, the alchemist had arrived.


    She looked the same as always, Nansu was a lifestyle yer and didn''t take part in the fighting. Her short dark hair was slicked back neatly, her robes were clean and wrinkle-free. "Maybe I need to start using a weapon."


    "I want you to take a look at this." He handed her a bit of y that was still adhered to the skin of the Krayven. "This looks like some sort of mud or y that these fighters have spread on their bodies."


    Nansu took out her pouch. "I can check to see what sort of properties it has, won''t take too long."


    "Thanks. Hey Nan..." Nix nced around the camp, spotting her former lover walking toward them. "You talk to Chael yet?"


    Nansu shook her head slightly. "I really want to Nix. Every time I try my stomach knots up in fear."


    Nix put a hand on her shoulder. "That''s fine, just keep trying. Maybe start with something small like hello."


    Nansu didn''t answer, instead, she walked toward her tent. She did, however, pause briefly when she walked past the sniper. "Hi, Chael."


    "H-Hi Nansu." Chael''s eyes showed his surprise as they followed her retreating form.
