Varrick put his bolter to his side as he found it not being effected, As he did he grabbed his chain sword as he saw the Daemon strike at nix he whistled for her back as he began his own charge, His other hand wen't to his combat knife as he jumped to strike at the beast his knife aiming for the shoulder while his chain sword wen't for the chest to tear the insides of this beast apart. As Nix heard her Masters Whistle she began to back away as she did she wen't on the defensive ready to strike when a opening was made, As she moved she could feel various cracks in her skeleton from the ice daemons hit being made it pained the scorpion from the wound but it would continue to fight on.


[Strike at the Ice daemon and a counter when it attacks for Nix]

The Northman grunted in pain as he was torn from the ravenous Imp horde, the Ultramarine Eagle's claws penetrating his skin in spite of the care Ethon took not to harm him. But Gunther knew that this beast belonged to one of the Sky-Men, and this meant that one of these divine warriors had commended her to pick him up.

His body was ravaged and bled from many a wound, but as he soared through the sky, Gunther could not help but feel both honoured for the gesture - that he was deemed worthy of being saved - and ashamed that he had to be saved, like a babe. Normally, he would have demanded to be let down, for his honour, but he knew that the beast would not let him down even if his cries were strong enough to wake the beasts of below. He consigned to his fate-

-which was to be dropped behind the wall, apparently, where the women and children of the village - armed and ready to defend the village and their youngest if need be - needed a moment to recognize the Elder for who he was. But it did not take them long to rush to his aid and treat his wounds.

AS THE SUN RISES OVER THE PEAKS, IT SEEMS LIKE ONE OF THE FARTHER MOUNTAINS IS MOVING SLIGHTLY.

< @TARINunit9 >

(Cacasus)

The marine's attack bites deep into the frozen neck, but it is stopped halfway by something, a spherical glow now being emitted from where the blade is stuck. Meanwhile, the Demon brings it's fists around, hoping to crush the Marine.

[Either abandon the attack, or force it, killing the demon while taking a medium wound]

(Diolux)

The imps that had fallen off of Gunther were easy pickings for the wildcat.

< @Uriel1339 @Grimdestiny >

The entire drum clip of Dumas' bolter was expended, and the entirety of the Demon's head, neck, and shoulders were gone. The rest of the thing just fell apart into shards of ice.

Likewise, Prometheus' missile hits the glowing "eye" of the injured golem, and it explodes into ice shrapnel. The others are not phased at all, continuing their slow and relentless march.

< @Vulpas >

Varrick was able to shear off an arm and rip apart the thing's chest, but the other arm comes around and grabs him, beginning to give crushing pressure and giving a light wound.

[4 Frost Demons (1 Near Vulpas, 1 Near Cacasus, 2 near gate), 2 Ice Golems]
[Varrick is pinned, although his chainsword arm is free. He is unable to do anything but communicate and make a single strike at the pinning arm until freed]
[ 2 strikes or 1 focus strike unless given other directives ]

The stubborn Dark Angel didn't back off; out of reflex he tried to sweep the Demon's leg to turn the tide, and leaned the rest of his body into the attack, gritting his teeth and determined to sever whatever this damned creature had for a spine

Sensing the plight of the marines, Diolux scurried on over after he'd had a fresh bite of what he was hoping was meat. Varrick's assailant was closest, and the wildcat made for the demon's back, clawing at the side of the creature that was already damaged

Varrick Smiled under his helmet as he sheared the beasts arm off he soon found himself pinned agaisnt the ground the beast trying to crush him to death as cracks in his armor was made, he began laughing, "You seek to crush a Iron hand, All you will do is just den't me Fiend," He yelled at it, With his chainsword arm Free he revved his chainsword and brought it down on the beasts remaining arm seeing as it would Free him, "Nix Help Pick apart this pray by its legs." Varrick said as he Fought back the beast as it slowly began crushing the chest of his power armor.


Nix Was back looking at the beast that had pinned its master, This would not stand as she heard the order she began clicking her pincers as she skittered around to the back avoiding the dark angels panther then arriving to the creatures legs. She then Brought her pincers down on joints near the creatures feet as her pincer reared back aiming to in pierce the right ones heel.

Dumas stood up and calling Teralix to his feet. Reloading his bolter, they both Broke into a sprint (Teralix doing the best he can) in the direction of the Gate. Targeting the two ice demons at the gate while charging, Dumas Lets loose two volleys of bolts at both of the foul creatures legs attempting to slow there advance to a crawl while triumphantly yelling "Not one more Step shall the enemies of man take while I still draw breath!"

(Two Strikes to the legs of Gate demons)

As the eagle dropped the man, more like lowered slowly until his feet touched the ground she landed next to him, gave him a "kweh!" which kind of appeared like a 'You are welcome!', while saluting with a wing, before the Eagle headed off into the air again and headed high into the sky to take a look at her Angel-Tamer.

Seeing Promethus was fine, Ethon swooped with a focus strike against the head of one of the towering Ice Golem (#1) in the distance, attempting to buy time for the group.

Promethus pushed another Krak Missile into his tube, taking a look while he did so. The battlefield was a mess and nothing was organized, everyone fought for themselves. Alas, he was no Squad-Lead and he felt not comfortable taking such position and so continued to do what he thought would aid most in the endeavour. Seeing that Ethon grabbed initiative in halting the Ice Golems in the distance, he ought that he would follow her instinct. He shouldered the Missile Launcher and took his time to aim, hoping to make a critical, focus strike against the other Ice Golem (#2) to not risk harming Ethon.

< EVERYONE >

The missile flies straight, but slower than the blur of steel eagle, who plunges straight through the first Golem, the core of the beast crushed by speed and beak. Seconds later the Second golem falls to the missile, and that part of the battle is finished.

Meanwhile, the three pronged assault of man and beast and beast proves quite fatal. For the Demon, that is. Varrick cuts deep into the arm that holds him, ripping it apart and freeing his body as nix's pincers break through its knees, lowering it just enough for Diolux to leap onto it's back. Diolux repeats what worked before, biting through the neck and crushing the core.

Dumas and Teralix are able to tag-team one of the demons as the other falls to the musket-shots. The bolts rip apart the legs of the Demon, and Teralix, perhaps angered at his condition, tears into the thing's chest, ripping until it stops moving.

Cacasus, meanwhile, is able to shift the weight of his conflict to allow the Demon to cut through it's own core. the neck is completely severed by the force of the blow, and the body falls to pieces.

The villagers let out a cheer as the final ice monster falls, the sun rising over the tallest peak. It seems that the Tamers have a moment to relax. The gate opens and some of the warriors usher them into the village, where they are celebrated and even worshipped... until a giant paw blocks the sun, crashing to the ground as it crushes a mountain, making the men look at the offender. A giant, spiked face follows, larger than almost everything ever recorded. It raises another paw, and it comes close to crushing the village.

< @Casavay >

The women and children, despite the strength of the Northern people, begin to cower, a murmur of "Herre over beist..." echoing through the group.

[React to the villagers and the Terrasque... also, HOLY SHIT!!!]

Cacasus mutters some archaic prayer under his breath as he grabs his bolter out of reflex, Diolux snapping to attention at his side, both seemingly ignoring the panicking villagers. "And we're supposed to fight this beast how?" he radio'd to his squad, just before the tremors rocked the village and he staggered to keep his footing

Dumas yells into the inter-squad vox "Brothers we must get the people of this village to safety, now is not the best time to fight such a creature! We Must slow it down so they can escape!" Dumas Shoots several Bolts into the creatures paw in futility. He then starts to usher people out of the back gate of the village as quickly as possible as Teralix rounds up straying people into a line like frightened Sheep.
