richard reached into the warp again creating bolts of fire incinerating five of the nurglings swarming the others as he made two lances of warp energy and aimed them at the sword hand of the daemon "get down" as he belowed he let lose the power

(5 dead nurglings and 2 strikes on the daemon)

@GobMaw_HellSmasha
Jim heard Jimbo's complement but did not have eny time to react, mostly because he was being hugged.
Now being right up against thex Great Unclean One Jim darted his eyes around for a moment before screaming in anger/horrer. He felt like he was going to be sick, he then saw that Jimbo was setting up the Z-zap gun. "You better you this fat basterd and no me!" He scremed, his vision started to get blurry from the nausea.

Vulpas lashed out as the nurglings came watching his plasma pistol explode he was glad at the moment it had taken out the nurglings but this left a problem of not having many ranged weapons. Swinging at them as they got closer and closer he began prioritizing them as the others focused on the great unclean one. Sweeping his staff from left to right sweeping at the nurgling swarm.

While dodging a few swats from the Bloodthirster, Alicia found that her Vox-Gem was picking up a signal and taking a gamble that it was coming from Wolfgang, given the contents of the message, Alicia responded "Fine, I'll bring him down!" When Tusk broke off and headed toward everyone, the Scourge quickly flew in hot pursuit of her foe, Shardcarbine aimed at the Daemon's arm which held his axe as her weapon let loose another rain of toxic crystals.

Results: Pursuit + 1 Strike on Tusk

THE FALL OF ZARAKYNEL
<@lord-watchman @GobMaw_HellSmasha @Vulpas @TuskatheDaemonKilla @SpaceHulk @Uriel1339 @Maleth>

Richard began to feel head pains from his constant use of the warp without proper training, the daemons whispering into his mind, trying to claw a little hole in his psyche. However, he was able to resist enough to send the bolts of fire at the Nurglites sword arm. The impacts caused several, boiling craters in the hand, and just enough pain for Zarakynel to look over at him.

This turned out to be exactly the right move, as the ever-unpredictable Ork Tek weapon that Jimbo fired had loosed an erratic bolt of energy that would have hit right where Jim had been a moment ago. And it seemed that whatever makes Ork Tek work was particularly excited, because at the Zzap gun fired a small amount of blowback slightly shocked Jimbo's hands, numbing them.

However, this boded generally well for the team, because Zarakynel seemed to have finally had enough, beginning to melt into a bubbling pile of pus. Unfortunately, since no one had thought to help Jim, he would be covered in remains, the stench and general disgustingness immobilizing him with nausea. The Nurglings began to randomly wander or runoff, close to no threat anymore.

And so, that was one daemon down. But that was only half of their problems... and the other half was very, very, very angry.

VS. TUSK

Rico's maneuver was successful, but at the same time Zarakynel had fallen, so Tusk was sent barreling towards the pile of pus, stomping dangerously close to Jim. By that time, Wolfgang's weapon caused Tusk to stumble and stop. He then grabbed Rico from his head and glared.

"You are no warrior of Khorne!" He roared, throwing the bloodletter to the ground, dazing him and breaking his right arm. Tusk then rose his axe, about to swing when Alicia swooped in to the rescue, her shard carbine hitting a pre-existing wound and injecting just enough poison to numb the grip and make the Bloodthirster drop the axe.

This made the blood-thirsty daemon roar even louder, grabbing Alicia and squeezing her.

[25~ Nurglings (Mooks) ; Tusk (Boss)]
[10 kills ; 5 kills and 2 Strikes ; 0 Kills and 4 Strikes]
[ @Maleth @SpaceHulk - Can take no actions]
[ @GobMaw_HellSmasha - Can Forfeit all actions to aim and fire the Zzap gun]​

Richard turned his attention around fiering three shots from his bolt pistol as he cut two nurglings down with his sword, as he did he focused his last remaining efforts into fiering two single lances at the daemon and stumbeling with the voices in his head as he did he made a mental note to try anouther aproach next time as the psychic voices were starting to worry him

(Ooc two strikes at tusk and five nurglings)

Jimbo got himself back up after a short struggle to retain balance. His hands felt numb, no doubt due to the blow back on the Z-zap gun. He smirked at the sight of Zarakynel dissolving into nothing. He'll apologize to other Jim later for what was sure to be an earful of complaints, or just a mouthful of puke and vomit. Better then being dead. His smirk dissapeared entirely when he looked back at Tusk and seeing him grab Alicia out of the air.

His blood began to boil at the mere sight of it, and his heart began to race. He still didn't have any feeling in his hand though. To allievate that he bit down on them till he felt pain again, drawing blood seemed to have done the trick. Now with bloodied hands and an ever growing heart rate he turned the Z-zap gun toward his new target. The bastard of a daemon, Tusk.

"TUSK!" he roared, "LET GO OF HER AND FACE ME!"

Hopefully his bravado and use of anger would draw the Daemon's attention toward him as he fired the Z-Zap gun yet again .

"You'z jus Notha bludd'ee grot ya spikey git! I'z seen Squigz biggah an meenah den you'z!"

[Z-zap gun on Tusk this time]

Rico picked himself up and his vision was blurred and his head spun and he found his right arm sticking out in the wrong direction and completly useless. This filled his mind with rage as the pain I was at him his kind blurred with his vision and suddenly music yet agian. Strings playing wildly and together up and down with a flute playing along. Blood began to draw down his chin as the fall and clearly injured his head agian. "Such a divine melody The anvil chorus of Verdi I do believe." He said to himself his head trama induced insanity quite clear.

In his blurry vision he saw his sword in the puss pile and quickly ran over to grab it and managed to pull an unconscious Jim as we made his way out of it. He let him go on a pile of scrap and went on his way nearly skipping to the music's beat. As he a preached Tusk he let out a defiant roar "You dare to call me no warrior! I am just as much of a warrior of the lord of skulls as you are! For he might have made you from his power but I was I that forged you into what you are Tusk the Butcher of Overconfidence! My Child!" He screamed as loud as his daemonic lungs could allow and lunged towards the monster diving under Jimbo's zap gun blast and attempted to climb onto Tusk's head agian stabbing him in the torso as a way to jump up and grabbed onto one of his horns with his feet and flipped onto the top of his head.

It was then that the music had reached It's name sake as the purcushunists began to hit anvils with hammers while the chorus continued to sing and with this Rico began to slash and stab into Tusk's head and with the final stroke dug his sword deep into the bloodthirster's skull.

Listen while you read

[4 strikes on Tusk]

Vulpas felt some part relieve as he saw the great unclean one fall a part of him fell like the presser from the greater daemons presence gone but he felt the rage of the blood thirster now. Vulpas turned in horror to see one of his friends Alica being squeezed by the daemon.

Feeling his rage from being used like a ping pong ball from earlier and the fact that Major was turned into a daemon along with Alica now being crushed he began to use his rage to fuel himself to push on towards the beast seeing already Rico and Jimbo firing upon and charging the beast he joined with staff in hand rage forcing away the fears and the pains he felt and putting it to the back of his mind as he charged with Staff raised in both hands, Lighting sparked from his armor, helmet and the damaged sockets in his armor.

Striking at the arm that held Alica Vulpas used all the energy he had focused with all the force he had in his staff to strike the blood thirsters arm to get him to let go of Alica and give her a chance to get out of there.

OOC 4 strikes at Tusk

"LET GO OF ME!" Alicia yelled at Tusk, a small part of her glad that he was focusing on her which meant she had done the most damage to get his attention, rather than anyone else having to take the damage. Not that it made the suffering of being crushed in the Daemon's hands ,which was still giving her conflicting feelings, any easier to deal with as the Scourge screamed from the pain she was in.
