Jordan "Jordie" Lynch thinking: "But whether a mere man can know the [i]truth[/i],
whether a seer can fathom more than I—
there is no test, no certain proof
though matching skill for skill
[i]a man can outstrip a rival[/i]. No, not till I see
these charges proved will I side with his accusers....
Never will I convict my king, never in my heart."

Re: IC: Ch 12: The Final Showdown
Jordie couldn't move the way she wanted her body to do, only furious thoughts as she spit blood into Corbitt's face.
With her last breath, Jordie struggles her arm up but the weight of the pistol gives and her legs buckle, the gun tumbling to the ground.
The other children cheered him on. His name voiced in a steadily rising pace, urging him to do it. “Am I really doing this?”, the young boy thought and struck his victim with a rock.
Re: IC: Ch 12: The Final Showdown
The blood and spittle ran down Corbitt's face as he turned towards Charles. As Charles scampered away Corbitt jerked his head towards Harrison. A raspy voice that was more similar to fingernails on a chalkboard than to a normal voice screeched out across the macabre scene of the street.
"You do not control me Wielder. Only the King can tell me when there has been enough blood to sate his thirst."
. .
Instead of chasing after Charles, he instead strides up to Richard, his hands and face covered in blood and a wild look in his eyes. "What of this one Wielder, should we have him join us, or sacrifice him to the King?"

Re: IC: Ch 12: The Final Showdown
OOC: This starts a new round. Scott and Richard have come out of their temp insanity. Scott and Charles are both near Harrison, within 10-15 yards. Richard is about 25 yards away and Corbitt is standing next to him. Charles you had moved away from the firearms for now, so there is not one within reach. Scott there is a .38 near you, you could probably get it and fire 1 shot this round if it is loaded. Richard, you are on top of a police man, you realize what you have been doing and it sickens you, but the thought of death standing above you overwhelms the need to throw up. There is a shotgun on the ground next to you, you don't know if its loaded or not. And you have your own weapons still. |

Re: IC: Ch 12: The Final Showdown
Harrison felt the bile rise in his throat. His voice was hoarse and strained, his eyes looking more haunted than ever as the blood dripped in thick drops from his cut hand clutching the pognus.
"The Wielder commands you to retreat to your unholy sepulchre, Corbitt, there to await the return of the King!Go back into the shadows or be destroyed!Obey the will of the King!"
Harrison kneels, seizing the paint brush in his free hand, he starts retracing the symbols as he utters more arcane words.
"Et incarnatus est de diis, donum quod dedisti tollere"

Re: IC: Ch 12: The Final Showdown
As Richard finally recovers his sanity he briefly looks at his bloodied hands and arms trying to figure out what had overcome him.
As he sees Corbitt staring at him and yelling at someone about him he immediatly goes into a defensive mode.
Richard cautiously moves away from Corbitt in the oposite direction of where Harrision is, keeping his eye on Corbit ready to dodge any type of swing or attack Corbitt tries to through at him.

Re: IC: Ch 12: The Final Showdown
Charles looks around to see if there is anything burning, anything that might be used as a torch. He figures that it's as likely to be vulnerable to fire as to anything else.
Re: IC: Ch 12: The Final Showdown
Charles looks around, there isn't really anything on fire. The house was, but that was put out.

Re: IC: Ch 12: The Final Showdown
Scott shakes his head and blinks his vision clear as if emerging from a deep sleep, one filled with nightmares and horror.
In one quick glance he sees what is happening. He also notices an .38 lying close by, no doubt dropped by a law officer. Without further thought he picks up the pistol and takes aim at the creature that he partialy recognises from the basement earlier.
"Hey asshole...eat this" he pulls the trigger...
Scott thinking: What the hell? |
"Hey asshole...eat this" he pulls the trigger...

Re: IC: Ch 12: The Final Showdown
Charles begins moving back closer to the fray.
Re: IC: Ch 12: The Final Showdown
Charles is still dancing around hiding behind police cars outside of the main fray.
Harrison puts the final touches on his circle.
Scott, picked up the pistol and fired a shot, but it went wild.
Richard, rolled over the shotgun picking it up on the way as Corbitt hunches down and swings twice at Richard.
. .
1 of his claws goes wild but the other looks like it is going to hit.

Re: IC: Ch 12: The Final Showdown
Richard rolls backwards away from Corbitt and Harrison just before Corbitts second swing makes contact with him continuing to try to draw Corbitt further away from Harrison.
Richard yells out "Someone get a car and try to run him down"

Re: IC: Ch 12: The Final Showdown
There are a lot of cop cars around, most look like they still have the keys in them.
