When Darkness Falls (Sign-up RP)

[SuperNovaNightmare]

Magmaris grunted in frustration at the sudden shift of movement, making her attempt at webbing her fail. After seeing the Queen launch into the air, her immediate reaction was to put up defensive protections.

[glow=red,2,300]"Spiders! Form defensive positions!"[/glow]

She commanded. All the Lava spiders attached themselves unto their mother, and the mother formed a cocoon around her self. Magmaris climes the already hardening lava, and stands at the top, entering a defensive position.


((By the way, whats her condition on summoning sickness, is it still in effect, or....))

[ArtVeigar]

After seeing the spider launching itself on the air, she thought of running to find a rock to hide behind and avoid the next shockwave, but seeing Tech trapped, she couldn't left him there. She prepared, aimed and released another wave of slashing winds, trying to cut the cobwebs around Tech and free him. And after doing so, she tried to find and hide behind the nearest rock.

[Ründo]

The spider queen, defying expectations, grabs onto the ceiling as every-pony desperately runs around.

TC manages to heal Tech, thought the poison is still draining him fairly quickly.

Tain's slash's, manage to break thru the bindings releasing Tech.

seeing Tain run over to T.C. and Tech, the spider Queen, of course, takes this opportunity to fire another acid blast towards the group.  Tech is guarded by T.C., who takes the hit instead.  Tain attempts to duck into cover, but the timing couldn't have been worse and gets splashed by acid, before she could do so. (Tain: dot 15 acid,  TC: dot 10 acid)((dot is reduced, as poison's are less effective against machines typically)) The Spider Queen heavily injury takes a moment to access the situation, while blasting the group... and promptly begins to move away from the group quite quickly.

Noy manages to climb out of the rumble..."Uh....where'd it go?"

Crimson heals Range for (10).

The rest of you guys didn't do anything relevant this time, so wasted round?

[ArtVeigar]

After getting splashed by the acid, feeling it burning her skin, she jumped in place and tried to wipe out the most of it, to at least reduce it's DoT. Looking back at the spider, she saw her moving away. Closing her eyes again, she tried to sense the spider and see if she is still backing off or if she would stop. Also, she asked Tech and T.C. - "Tech! Scan the area for the Spider. Also, if you can, try to read the most of it's behavior and biological signs, to figure out if it's is still willing to fight or if it really gave up the fight. We won't chase down a defeated opponent."

[The Stars]

After finishing with the Repair, Crimson and Price takes a moment to sit down and relax with as much as they could... what with the acidic burns and all.  "Nice work there, Crimson. With your skills, we'd probably be long dead... Speakin' of which, think you can handle a few more?" He said, looking over to the entire team.
"Yeah, I'm still handy... Gah, this acid is unbearable."
"I'd like to say I've been through worse, but... Gruh..." Price replies, then throws his hoof in the air and says. "Everypony, we got one good period of intermission right now. Gather round Crimson to heal all that he can if the enemy decides to return."

Range slammed her hoof to the ground, seeing that her countermeasures were a complete failure. With a slight limp and a grunt, she almost literally drags herself over to her brothers and rests her head on Crimson. "This fight is getting brutal..."
Nodding, Crimson replies. "Yeah, but we seem to have the strength to push on... Vital signs of everypony shows no immediate threat, but I'd much rather treat them right away. Vital signs of the Queen shows imminent failure; hopefully it made a hasty retreat. If not, just so long as we combine a large offensive strike, we can slay the beast... Range, Price you hear where I'm going with this?"
"Lemme guess," Price started." You want Range here to use the same thing you two did again; Launch everypony on separate pillars and make them attack in one large sweeping force?"
"Right on the money there, Price." He says, Grabbing a hold of some rubble around him, the pain of the acid burning through his skin still lingers. "If we can pull off this offensive, with a single focused attack, our combined forces can make a staggering force to be reckoned with."
Price nods. "Right, I'll be sure to go over the plan specifics before we take positions."

[Omega_Khaos]

Tech says, "My wings are badly damaged from the acid. so I can't fly for the moment and I need to get this stuff neutralized. when this poison is taken care of my wings being as they are should be able to recover quickly. Also because it is a poison based acid any remedies for poison should work on it." Tech begins to try and use the dry soil around him to soak up the poison treating it like a sponge. He stays away from the areas that are hit with the poison.

T.C. looks to tian and says, "Scanning now. Trying to locate large spider like creature." T.C. scans for the creature defensively. as he scans he tries to cover his infected areas of his metallic plating with dryish dirt to also try to soak up the poison.

Tech says threw the communicator to Crimson, Price and Range then to everypony else, "You three do know that we can hear you threw these communicators right? Now does anypony have anything for a poison. This acid poison is going to be the end of me and I can't fly because of it and my feather darts are useless."

[Ründo]

Noy runs over to the gathering party his horn glowing, "Yes, I have some antidotes." he began to rummage thru his pack and pull out 5 4 antidotes "...wait would an Antidote work on a machine? can you use it?"

[Omega_Khaos]

Tech grins, "Yes. He can ingest items of a liquid nature. I haven't been able to get solids to go liquid inside the TC units body yet. T.C. is your internal ingestion system still functioning?" tech looks from Noy to T.C.

T.C. nods a confirmation then says, "[glow=yellow,2,300]I haven't needed to use it but i could use liquid nourishment to gain power when my charging unit isn't function properly. That system is currently in standby mode. I never received the activation code to bring it online. Awaiting activation code.[/glow]" tech stands firm as if awaiting something.

Tech shakes his head and says, "I guess i forgot that the newest prototype came with the system automatically on standby mode upon completion. guess i got a little explaining to do about T.C. 101 S. here. Authorization, voice confirmation only, tech2291alpha."

Something seams to cause T.C. to twitch for a second as he ripples slightly. A hologram code covers his body making him look more like a common stallion then a mechapony. T.C. says after the ripple stops, "[glow=yellow,2,300]Well I see why one would usually keep me in my other state. I am feeling the sensation of hunger at the moment. Anything i can eat as well. nothing solid please. I am not use to that yet.[/glow]"

Spoiler: T.C.'s Current Look • show

Body type = Alicorn base
gender type = Stallion
coat = Metallic Silver
mane & Tail = Stander military crew cut the color of a golden gear.
Mechapony based Cutie mark = A clockwork style scouts bow overlapping a command counsel.

Tech has a look of almost shock at the way T.C. now looks. It doesn't take him long to recover though. he then says, "Well I guess Triton made sure that wen the system was activated he also looked like a normal pony as well. I got to say nice use of the experimental holotech. I guess we can call this a successful test of both your hunger and holotech systems. If he couldn't before he can now Noy. He is my fourth pride and joy. He is a prototype of the new T.C. units Me and Triton have been working on. You could say he and his counterpart, when she is done of course, are the next generation of the Triton Clones. The T.C.S. and the T.C.M. are my second favorite projects to work on as well as the fortress."

T.C. examines himself and is really enjoying the look of a real stallion.

[bauccgia0]

Laserbolt pricked up his ears at the word, "machine". He dashed over to Noy and T.C.

Wait! I can probably fix him up. Let's see, how would you cure a robot of poison... I got it!

He took out a small, square device from his satchel, and began fixing it to the robot.

This is a acid protection module I made a while back. I was going to use it on Bertram, but I don't think he'll need it for a while.

((Rundo, I forgot to mention, but Laserbolt's a bit of a gearhead as well.))

[Ründo]

((yeah but the question is, how effective it is against the stuff in Tartarus.))

Noy distributes the 5 antidotes to the members that got poisoned; and immediately turns his head as the party hears a whistling sound.  It was another acid blast moving straight at them, "NO!" stammered Noy, as his readied magic erected a shield at the last second and deflected the attack away.  The acid sizzled a little upon the ground nearby. "Hmph, thought I wouldn't expect that?"  The Spider Queen grumbled a bit as she started to slink away from sight.

[Omega_Khaos]

Tech quickly downs the antidote and readies himself for combat yet again. ''Pony Feathers, This spider is starting to annoy me. Can we finish this everypony. By the way, would all flyers like to join me in a Pegasus Tornado Team Attack?

T.C. downs his as well while readying himself for combat as well by pulling the bow out again.
[glow=yellow,2,300]Hmm a new sensation for the system. I think I am feeling anger towards this spider and its attempts at a sneaky strike.[/glow]

((Rundo, I think you forgot about T.C.'s active attempt at tracking the creature. He used his scan ability actively to find and track it. Also I think it time for a common theme among Pegasus ponies and other flyers with sufficient wing power. I will leave the statistics up to you, Rundo.))

[Ründo]

"....er...will it reach?  I mean, the spider is getting pretty far away, It would be hard to catch up to it if we chased, and I don't think everypony is familiar enough with this place to safely do so? We could be ambushed...in fact that might be it's plan, for all we know."

((you can track it to some distance, but it's getting away like Noy said.  Pursuit would be very risky.))

[moonlight7starshine]

((Can I jump in this moment or no?))

[The Stars]

"Noy's right... We're potentially walking into a trap If we try looking for it... At least we know it's not giving up on fighting just yet. I'm not sure if we're in any position to start to track it in our condition alone, even... This will give your plan some complications, Crimson." Price had came up with from his analysis of the situation.
"Yeah, tell me bout it... Least now the burns are gone with these potions... Maybe if we time this right and it does decide to come back... Eh, Range, You think you could imprison it when it comes back?" Crimson asks.
"If I get right onto making a trapping seal, you bet." She says, getting up in a hurry as she starts setting up an imprisonment trap. Only this time, still connected manually through her mana and this time much bigger to account for an increase in mass.
Crimson grunts to stand up and walks over in order to assist Range. "Hey, I'm not gonna let you get trampled over this time. Standing right by you, alright?" Range paused a little bit, letting the thought sink in a bit before she smiled.
"Y-Yeah. Thanks."

[ArtVeigar]

Tian sighed when the spider tried another attack and retreated again. Why can't you just give up? She thought while drinking the potion given by Noy and getting ready again. Looking around, she searched for a place to stay behind and wait, while still paying attention to where the spider had gone. She was a melee type, so her best option at that siutation was to keep herself protected and wait a chance to strike.

[SuperNovaNightmare]

Magmaris stomped on the web shield, causing it to shatter. She was really frustrated.

[glow=red,2,300]"Ugh! Why can't that thing just stay still!"[/glow]

She landed on top of the Magma Spider, who was having her spider-lings  scatter around. All Magmaris could do was watch the spiders running around.

[Omega_Khaos]

T.C. watches the area around while pulling himself into a more defensive posture to wait attempting to hide and ambush the spider queen when he sensed with sight by using a fire storm attack against her.
[T.C. hides in the debris around the area preparing to use a fire storm attack when the spider queen comes into range.]

Tech looks to the others and says, "So how about we give this spider queen a bit of the Pegasus pride in the form of a tornado?" Tech hides himself in a nearby area to wait for a chance to lightning strike the spider queen, where his bolt would be most effective at attempting to stun her.
[Tech lays in hidden wait to lightning strike the spider queen a second time. This one will fatigue tech as it will be at full power.]

[Ründo]

"....wait..." Stated Noy as he looked around. "Wouldn't using tornado's in a location full of spiders webs, end with us thrown around by wild winds and covered in cobwebs?"

[Omega_Khaos]

"Not if we cut it loose at the last second of build time. we set it so that it only goes one way and it should clear a good battlefield for those of us who are bound by needing high speed abilities. Also the shear strength of the winds should turn these webs into nothing more then silken strands. though i do see your point we don't have enough flyers with us for that big a tornado." tech says into the communicator. He is still trying to keep out of site of the spider while getting ready for an attack.

[The Stars]

" On the other hoof," Price breaks into Tech's conversation with Noy. "Crimson's gotten an idea that could work in if we all agree to work together on this..." Price says, searching through his saddlebag for his communicator and radios in on the entire team. "Everypony, listen up: Crimson here has a plan that could work. Earlier, Range used her alchemical powers to give Crimson's abilities a higher amount of damage due to a buffering of increased speed to apply enhanced force.  We want everypony to gather round and get into defensive positions once we get the spider imprisoned within the trap Range and Crimson set up, and we're going to allow Range to propel us over to the enemy, and all at once we will strike."

Crimson begins to pick up his communicator and replies back with further explanations. "Moving at the speed of Range's enhanced abilities as of recent should triple output of all our attacks. We've got a total of 7 active attacking members on the squad once this pulls off; not including the conjured magma spiders. Magmaris, if you can, put your constructs on distraction while we try to trap the queen; Try to get it within the matrix as closely as possible and then we'll have clearance to strike with an unrelenting force. As far as when the trap is going to be finished, Don't worry, just a few more seconds to add disruption prevention and we'll have everything set up. Everypony get the plan thus far, or need me to clarify things?"
