@Grall_Stonefist Vail cocked an eyebrow at this interesting proposition. This had the potential to let this whole encounter end in nothing more than a few bruises. If this fanatic stayed true to his word of course, which was questionable. They'd have to be careful. Vail strode up confidently to the priest, knowing her men would be unimpressed by the fanfare of it all. "Very well, if that will allow us to move on from this waste of time. Non-lethal hand to hand combat. Whoever wins gets claim to the supplies in this area, and the other must move on from it. Agreed?" She held out a hand with an easygoing smile. Jurgen meanwhile dropped his equipment and cracked his neck. While an unassuming man, Vail had seen what Jurgen was capable of, and if anything his horrendous body odor would only help in such a close quarters grapple. And if he lost at least the men wouldn't blame her.
"The supplies of an old broken factory," Avilex said as as he stretched out his free hand to recieve Thanes massive chainsword. "Show him the way of redemtion brother Thane" Avilex said, to witch the zealot nodded masked head. "I will not fail lord redemtor" Thane said, not giving much into teatrics, and being entirely unreadable in due to no visible features, the darkness from his eyed mask now being entirely focused on Jurgen, as they moved away from the two groups.
@Grall_Stonefist "Show him... Whatever it is you do Jurgen." Vail said in a theatric tone that got a snicker from the Jinxie, who thankfully hand't accidentally pulled the trigger on her grenade launcher. Yet. "As the Emperor wills." Such a simple motto, yet Jurgen seemed to have an unshakeable faith that whatever happened was just part of the Emperor's plan. She just hope part of that plan was beating up that zealot. He fell into what looked to be a sloppy fighting stance, but Vail had seen his strength before. He could do this. Right? OOC: FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT
As they stood 1 on 1, and Jurgen asumed what was to look like a sloppy fighting stance, Thane knew that it had more to it, given that this was their supposed champion, so well knowing he had to not underestimate, this dident change the front of his attack, as his mind went into fighting state, he howled his warcry as attacked Jurgen, not a headless charge, but more veteran berserker. OOC: Glad no one mind that his mask is a spiked helmet
[Emperor's Holy Wrath @Grall_Stonefist and Valhallan 597th @Keidivh] And so the one on one brawl began with Thane charging the Jurgen in a manner that only a well experience berserker could and smashed into the veteran with the force of truck nearly knocking him down. However nearly was not good enough as the veteran held his ground locking the two in place as they tried to grapple eachother. (Rolls were driven into a stand still no damage has been done to either side)
Hainrich smirked as the guardsmen called out to them from the building. It had been a shit time since this city had been lost to chaos but today, ofr once, was a good day. Looking up to the adjacent building where his men were stationed he did a simple nod before he began sprinting to the entrance of the building his squad was located in, all the other squad members who were outside doing the same. Standing in the entrance of the building Hainrich waved over to the guardsmen, signaling for them to come over to the building across the street so that they could talk. If the three guardsmen complied they would be met with Hainrich and three other members of his squad, all of which held their guns to the ground as to not look threatening, but all still seemed on edge, ready to raise their weapons and fire in an instant. "Glad to see we aren't the only unit still running around showing this city who's boss. What regiment are you boys from?". Moving in closer with his left hand lazily placed on the pommel of his sword he reached out to shake each of the guardsmens hands with his right.
In the thight grappling combat between Thane and Jurgen, Thane kept up the agresive violence, as he attempted to use the very close combat to get in a violent head butt, to maximize the effect of his helm, but while also steeling himself for properble retaliation in case the veteran kept up his deadlock.
@Grall_Stonefist Jurgen remained steadfast even in the face of such a furious assault to even Vail's amazement, and even more amazing was that he had that same look of disinterest that he always carried. He attempted to avoid the, trying to get his arms around his neck and put him in a headlock and driving his knee into the mans stomach. Of course Vail wouldn't be surprised if the zealot simply passed out from the noxious odor of Jurgen, being so close to him.
[Order of the Abyssal Darkness @Azathoth] With the second volley the cult's aim was true and they quickly silenced the screaming priest with a hail of bullets directed at his head. However the atempt by their leader to use his powers on the mob proved truer as he not only managed to subdue the mob but bind them to his will. The mark of an eight point star had been burned onto the various parts of their bodies by the warp energy that coursed through them warping their minds and bodies, binding them to his will. With that the battle had ended and the outpost still stood ripe for the taking and the cult had a group of new "converts" to do their master's biding without question. [items and personnel added] +20 Mind slaves/mutated cultists/whatever you want to call them (They feel no fear and have retained some amount of independent thought so they can use most equipment but if the leader is rendered involuntarily unconscious or killed the link will be broken and they will regain free will. The warp energy released by their binding has also mutated their bodies giving them a grotesque appearance as random mutations dot their bodies from extra limbs to unnatural skin colors they are quite the intresting bunch to look at if you can stomach it.) +1 chainsword (if you choose to take it off of the dead priest) (OOC yes you rolled a 99 on the power roll) [Emperor's Holy Wrath @Grall_Stonefist and Valhallan 597th @Keidivh] As the fight continued and the two tried to grapple one another the zealot managed to come out on top with a savage head but that knocked Jurgan to the ground. However this was not the end just yet as the blow while painful did not knock him unconscious and would only leave a large bruise. Then agian his position on his back was quite vulnerable amd Jurgen would need to scramble to his feet quickly other wise he was in a prime position for the zealot to wail on him. [Wasteland Kings @bossaroo] The group of mutants began driving aimlessly through the city streets and despite the large amount of noise their new vehicle was making no one dared to attack them either. So they simply drove along the deserted streets wasting valuable fuel and generally accomplishing nothing. (Didn't give me enough information to really do anything please be specific) [Derraesha's Reavers @Maleth] As the fire fight erupted those that choose not to fire their weapons and took cover found themselves relatively safe from the mutant's fire. Meanwhile the scourge's Dark Lance fire hit it's mark on the abomination but unfortunately the damage the shot did was almost instantly "healed" by the beast's constant mutation. As for the others that chose to fire upon the mutants moving downward from their positions in the wall they managed to get a few good hits in but only managed to out right kill three of them that were too cocky and went out into the open longer than they needed. Meanwhile the abomination which had been angered by the previous shot that while ineffective at killing the beast was still painful which fueled it's rage as it came down upon the group with a massive clawed hand that just barely missed them as it collided with a ruined truck that was likly hauling promethium as the impact released a large amount of the flammable liquid all over it's arm. [Enemies] 12x Mutants 1x Gigantic Abomination
After succesfully knocking down Jurgen with a powerfull headbutt, Thane kept close, though instead on just pouncing the expected way, Thane was not above dirty tricks, and while getting in to start the wailing fists upon Jurgen, he also aimed to smash his knee into his opponents groin, so that Jurgen would be doubly stunned.
