Public Bloodbath at Lake Natth (open to anyone who wants to kill off a character or twelve)

[Ghed Saya]

OOC thread​

We've all got 1-25 characters who never took off or who ran out of steam. I propose a big senseless fight wherein we kill them off.

Also feel free to just be the triggerman: posting here is not an obligation to die and doesn't mean people can autohit you - the death consent rule still applies. Die on your terms.

LAKE NATTH
AMBRIA
UNCLAIMED TERRITORY

Who had started the battle, Ghed couldn't guess. Compounding grudges and hopes of easy victory had drawn a dozen forces here to the cursed shores of Lake Natth.

All that to say, he had no idea who'd shot him.

The energy weapon, whatever it was, had punched through his armor and thrown him off his feet. He sprawled desperately in the shallows, struggling for purchase. A figure loomed over him. The last thing he saw before the killshot was the face of...

 

[Zeric Parcra]

... Zeric Parcra; Epicanthix, Captain, and clearly a fething idiot, because why else would he have allowed himself to be lured to this metaphorical charnel house by a phony report, let alone taken to the field with but a few marines - long dead by now.

Pressing the trigger, though he did not know who Ghed Saya was except that he had previously killed one of Parcra's own troopers, the man was temporarily distracted. On this day, on these shores, that was all it took.

Feeling cold steel sliding into his back, he gurgled out his final words, unheard in the din of battle, before toppling onto the man he had just slain. He would never know the face of his killer, though whoever it was might soon follow him into the grave...

 

[Mercury Zealot]

Mercury Zealot withdrew from the body of Zeric Parcra , the steel of his tusk pulling out the bloody gore of the pathetic human. The Resu Monstrosity which fought for the gods of the Moross Crusade, was a relentless fighter that had personally slain thousands of both his own people and alien heathens across the galaxy, and was singularly responsible for the near-genocide of his former species to extinction.

Though they had been saved by another, Mercury Zealot and his followers had only become more monstrous on their own, infected with a new vong virus that had turned him from the Metalic Morossian Resu into an abominable Resuspawn which was both metallic and organic.

But none of that mattered anymore, for whatever reason, however the creature had been released into this blood pit, the monster was dead as soon as the hydrogen sacs on his back exploded into a furious fireball surrounding the formerly aquatic creature. Its claws thrashed in the air and let out an electric shriek that hit multiple places around it as it burned to death, agonizingly, and without the ability to breathe any longer. It toppled over on top of a pile of bodies.

Dead.

 

[Darth Vocat]

Vocat lowered her wide-angle disruptor with a satisfied nod. A monster like that, in a place like this, was normally a thing to avoid - but the Elder had commanded her to kill it, and what the Elder wanted, he generally got. She glanced at the hovering camera droid who had transmitted the Resuspawn's death throes.

"Gathering samples as ordered," she said, slinging the rifle over her back. She drew a knife and picked through tcorpses toward the hulk. As she went she tried to reinforce her White Current concealment - but it flickered intermittently in ways she didn't like. It left her visible, vulnerable. Lake Natth's ancient and growing evil might be the cause.

Something took her head off. She never saw what.
