Soreiyu notices someone scrying him, sets a false image of the guy continuing to monologue to cover the upcoming fight (he has enough material by now to make a loop non-obvious). He warns Takeko that there's (likely periodic) scrying, he caught a sweep, does Gazef advice a scry trap?

(She passes on the information - and tells him to cover his more obvious non-human features, which he does).

He admits he doesn't know much about magic at that high a level, but from his perspective if they can make it look normal till they have won then spring the trap that would be good.  The Slane Theocracy are fairly strong magically and may be able to intervene from afar. He's even heard rumors that some of them can teleport.

Permalink

If 'they might be able to teleport' is big news, this region is probably fairly low level. Something to keep in mind when showing off; she sends a note to Soreiyu that they might want to keep their capabilities on the down-low.

"We'll do that, then. Are your men ready?"

Permalink

He looks at his men, who start cheering in affirmation.
"Yes"

Permalink

Then they can begin, Soreiyu firmly establishing his false image (and taking a moment to quickly disguise his more obvious non-human features).

Permalink

Nigun gets tired of waiting and has his casters start summoning "angels".  They look to be low level YGGDRASIL monsters called [Archangel Flame] along with a single slightly more powerful [Angel Guardian].  Neither one of them can even pierce the DR of a level 100 with proper anti-zerg-rush skills in their build.  Even without those skills they still aren't a serious threat, assuming they really are the YGGDRASIL monsters they appear to be.

"Hm, are you ready to draw him out, or should I jump him before he summons something worse?"

Permalink

"Attack!"

And with that the royal troops advance.

Permalink

She'll hang back and prepare her ambush, then.

Permalink

As his men charge it becomes clear that they are individually well matched with the angels but couldn't take on this many even without being harassed by spells.  Also, several of them are using unusual abilities, generally while saying some sort of activation phrase starting with "martial art".  Unlike spells these phrases seem to be in Japanese, or whatever language is being translated into it.

Hm. She'll have to learn more about the local magic.

Later.

Once the enemy's ranks are a bit disordered, she and Soreiyu swoop in, Takeko going for a surprise attack on the leader, Soreiyu systematically taking out the harder hitters.

They don't show their full power, unless it's needed, and Takeko thinks they've gotten a pretty decent idea of these two armies' weight classes at least for calibration, but they're clearly a step above their opponents. She's also aiming to capture the leader if it's possible without him escaping, and Soreiyu has orders to grab at least one magic user.

Permalink

This almost goes smoothly. Fighting with just spells of the 4th tier and similarly leveled physical abilities is enough to utterly overwhelm the opposing spell casters while still being pathetic by YGGDRASIL standards.  It also panics Nigun so he is distracted and yelling about a trump hard when Takeko grabs him.  Unfortunately he already has said trump card in hand and manages to activate it as he is immobilized.

Behold the Dominion Authority!  An angel of the second choir! A serious threat when in encountered as a choir of seven sevens overseen by seven angels of the first choir like in that one dungeon.  From that update with all the psedou-Christian stuff.  Anyway, by itself its smack dab in the middle of the yawning chasm between the locals' level and that of a player.

...She's decently sure she can manage killing it without letting it run rampant, letting it hit her allies, letting her target have time to escape, or giving away too much.

Still, she keeps an eye on her target, watching for escape attempts.

Permalink

"Hahahaha scared to do anything? Thats right this is seventh tier magic no man can stand before. Cower before the judgement of the gods incarnate. Dominion Authority! Make an example of the one thats not holding me."

Permalink

It shoots a giant pillar of magic down at Soreiyu.

Permalink

Soreiyu wasn't paying attention and gets scratched.

Permalink

She rolls her eyes and hits the angel with a lightning bolt.

Permalink

Its dead Jim.

"A power that surpasses demons, who in the world are you?"

Permalink

"Don't see how it's your business, really."

Permalink

...

He seems geniunely confused by how to respond to that.

"Well we just had a fight, don't you normally say who you are so your opponent knows who to beg for mercy?"

 

Permalink

"Not typically in my culture."

Permalink

...right straight to begging then.
"Spare all of us... no I alone am enough spare me I will give you whatever reward you wish."

Permalink

Another scry sweep passes through, and someone starts to like their "colleague" even less than they already did.
