Opening Log

[the_last_free_mods]

A few days have passed since the Qin army marched on Midgard's walls. The warriors already there don't know how much longer the front gate can last. The Qin forces are slowly picking off the wall's defenders, whittling down their numbers.

A metallic dragon twists and writhes in the sky, raining destruction from above. Sanzuwu streak back and forth across the sky, strafing and intercepting any aerial units. Shishi slam into the gates repeatedly, while terracotta soldiers make use of siege engines to break down the gate.

And finally, the inevitable occurs; the gate crashes open. Qin soldiers start flooding in.

But at that very moment...the Bifrost activates.

The first wave has come.

[[OoC: Welcome to the game! You'll be starting off fending off a Qin invasion. You are free to godmode enemies within reason, though the mods may occasionally take over from time to time. Defeat enough enemies, and a boss may appear...

Enemy types can be found with descriptions in the cut below.

Dragons - Strange, otherworldly energy beings that serve the Qin. They are given physical, robotic bodies in the form of classic Chinese dragons so that they can interact with physical world. Enormously powerful. Ascend to their home plane if their bodies are destroyed. There are only nine Dragons at any one time, but if ever one is defeated, its body can be rebuilt.

Fenghuang - Flying Qin battleships. Huge. Phoenix themed decoration. Lots of heavy weapons.

Sanzuwu - Qin fightercraft. Fast, lightly armed. Three distinctive landing gear that look like bird legs.

Yaoguai - Soldiers subject to modification experiments that didn't work properly. The Yaoguai are capable in combat, but their upgrades have left them mentally unstable and very violent.

Shishi - Robot lion statues. Powerful frontline warriors.

Terracotta Soldiers - Clay statues of soldiers that have been animated. The rank and file.

And finally, Thor has something to say to you.]

Uh, guys? You might want to start dodging. That flying battleship in the distance has just begun to open fire on your position.

[avengedhimself]

And the Gurren is just going to dodge to the sides by. Well. Running. Since there's no fancy vernier boosters attached to this thing, no sirree.

[magic_world_theory]

Yumemi is still standing on top of it, giving the battleship a critical look. "See? This is exactly what I'm talking about. What is your big punchy robot going to do now?"

[the_last_free_mods]

The battleship continues its assault, beginning to lead its shots. They're trying to predict where Gurren will dodge.

[avengedhimself]

Can it predict Gurren pretty much just, jumping up in the air and throwing a bunch of Shishis it's holding right on the battleship's hull?

[magic_world_theory]

Still just observing, Yumemi is no longer atop Gurren, instead hovering somewhere nearby. "Resourceful! I'll be generous and give you a C+, but I don't think it's going to be enough."

[the_last_free_mods]

The Shishi smash into the hull, leaving negligible damage. However, one manages to get lodged in a cannon -- which fires, blowing up the turret. In response, the ship begins to close in, firing with its remaining cannons.

[magic_world_theory]

"This is how it's done, neanderthal!"

After one last taunt, Yumemi rockets upwards until she's above the battleship, some kind of device automatically unfolding over her right eye. As her gaze moves over the cannons mounted on the battleship, a powerful energy beam follows it, erupting at it sweeps past into a series of explosions shaped like crosses.

[avengedhimself]

"...Sweet, I gotta get me one of those..."

Oh wait, he's going to just, have the Gurren throws its shade, intending for it to arch through some of the possibly remaining cannons, in an attempt to shut them down.

[the_last_free_mods]

The battleship makes a hard turn to starboard, resulting in most of the cannons on the port side inoperable. Gurren's shades also miss...but they arc around behind the ship and crash through two of its engines, as well as its backup engine. The ship could no longer maintain its altitude, and so it begins to drop toward the ground.
