Elidain, a half-elf in flowing robes, and Doraggic Frostbeard, a dwarf with and ice-blue beard step forward. "Really Mendigo? You think that little thing is enough to change the battle? And did you think that FIRE would stop machines designed to KILL BEINGS OF FIRE??!"
They each go into a short ritual that seems to reverse the last events on each of the mechs, including all damage. Even the now-melted Dreadnaught returns to full functionality. The three deities aside form Elendon then instantly teleport into the Dreadnaught once again. "You'll find it to be better protected now as well. Go ahead, Mendigo, try us." As he says that, multiple ice-blue gems start to glow around the body of the mech, each of them seeming to emit Antarctic cold, as well as multiple runes in the same color appear.
Right after Elidain's voice fades from the speakers, more ground-shaking THUDS come from several locations around the now-ruined temple. Three more pairs of massive bladed legs tear through the walls of the temple in three separate locations, as three more fully automated Dreadnaught-class mechs walk into battle.

*Apparently so, lol. Greaaatt..... Well, alright then, lol*
The skies grow darker as yet another, louder scream shakes the battlefield.
"What is that?" Gamer_Thirteen sends one of his Mantis Lieutenants, Pharahis, to investigate.
After a brief few seconds and another, now deafening shriek, Pharahis runs screaming in the other direction. One ominous, glowing red dot the size of a beach ball hangs in the air 40 or so feet in the air above you, dripping a glowing red fluid. The beast's form is revealed from the darkness soon after, as bright red magical runes glow all across its silksteel 'head' and four segmented arms, each tipped with a strange weapon. Another four arms, each with clawed hands at the end, unfurl from the back of the beast's central body, spreading like wings behind it.
Calamitas then turns to Jerry, hatred burning in its eye, and projects a ray of scarlet light from its core. After a while, Yvonne, now in dark steel armor with similar glowing runes, stands before him. "I've had it with this war. I've grown sick and tired of waiting for you to die, so I figured I'd get the job done myself. Then, once you're gone, I'll move on to the next cult. And the next. and the next, and I will SHOW THEM ALL ORDER!!" Yvonne then laughs, a horrifying sound that startles everyone to their core, before disappearing back into her machine.
Yvonne continues laughing maniacally as the cannons on Calamitas' arms charge up. A scarlet shield of energy surrounds it, and the skies grow darker still.
Roll initiative.
The Cataclysm stands in front of Jerry. "ENOUGH!!!!!!"
"You think you can stop me?" Calamitas smacks Cataclysm aside with its glowing red mace, launching the tiny-in-comparison mech over a hundred feet away. They then turn to Jerry.
"You can't defeat me! THERE IS NO STOPPING A GOD!"

ok! so... Jerry's real beat up but is just laughing and stretching, he then started turning into a smoke vortex. Mendigo is now in his true form and has started going ham. Yvonne is the real bad guy as they are promising to wipe out all cults, even anti-Jerry. They are proposing even more large scale violence than Jerry could even begin to dream of

The atomic explosion created by Mendigo reappears, as he quickly gets sucked back up into his floating position. All the events of Mendigo’s demise happen again in reverse. Mendigo is once again standing in the middle of the room, on fire, eyes glowing. He stands there for a second.
“Right, all caught up now.” Mendigo seems to have spent the previous time frame teaching himself the events that happened when he was dead. “Ha, you think you can defeat us? You might notice, Elendon, that your friends’ mech is a little, shall we say, occupied?” You turn and see that just as he said, the mech is wrapped up in glowing orange chains. They tighten, and the mech melts. The deities fall to the ground.
”You had a ‘true form’ Elendon. Well I have my own. You might have noticed the little light show I put on earlier. That wasn’t a last ditch effort to defeat you. No - far from it - that was me releasing the fire elemental trapped inside me, and letting my own ‘true form’ out. Enjoy this.”
Mendigo runs towards Elendon and his companions and drops small glowing bombs at their feet. They explode, to reveal holes in the ground. The deities all fall through into the void, and the holes shut behind them. “Now, whilst I know that won’t defeat you, it will keep you occupied while I deal with the others.”
“Hey, Mantis guy, are you… helping us? While I appreciate the help, you do have a tendency to double cross. Here.” Mendigo reaches his palm out towards him, and it glows orange. “If you have any intent of betraying us, this won’t work. But if you don’t, it will raise you to your blazing form, like the other followers.”
“Right, now your turn, evil guys.” Mendigo’s flaming body glows brighter. He then runs towards the enemies, and punches each of them in the face in quick succession. Whenever he punches someone, he also drops something in their mouths. He returns to his original spot. “Have fun with this!” As he says this, he outstretches his palms. Every single enemy in the room gets blown up from the inside.
“Will someone cut out that racket!?” He responds to the screams. He then sends one of his soldiers to investigate with the Mantis.
Jerry's smoke flash ends. He is on the ground. his normal peasant clothes are gone, he is seen in his most powerful state. he wears alchemical masterpieces of gauntlets, each designed to spew all his favorite chemicals. They have overbuilt in lighters, for flamethrowers and napalm ignition. His thin suit of armor is entirely heat resistant (cold and hot). His eyes aglow he turns to Mendigo. "Mmmm, good call on the nuke thing, i like the new fire elemental-free look you got going! ow! yeah! what the hell is that noise!"
"Elendon, please tell me you're intelligent enough to know that Yvonne is the real evil here. Help us defeat her, we beg of you."
Helmut teleports over to Mendigo, lowers his voice, and says to him, "Mendigo, I think you might need to let Elendon's companions out for this. The wrath of a deity such as Elendon is nothing to laugh at, and we really, really need him to not be angry at us right now."
Helmut Distant-casts power word heal on Jerry to keep him alive for this fight. He then creates a blindingly white flash of light, and when it clears, the Silksteel Dreadnaught is fully restored. "I'd bring your companions back if I could, Elendon. Alas, I am subservient to Jerry and Mendigo, and so I am incapable of doing so under our current circumstances."
Helmut braces himself, and he begins burning with radiant flames, preparing for the final battle of the War of the Flame.
"**** Yeah! FEELING GOOD!" Jerry was looking pretty good after the smoke transformation but is feeling extra spicy now. Jerry draws his sun blade and readies a flamethrower hand. "Ow! what is that noise! who's doing that!?" Jerry looks around and in doing so sees GLOP and Mantis. "huh? haven't seen you before.. fire gnome and... who are you! aren't you trying to kill me? why are you helping the gnome? uh... cool I guess. it works."
The skies grow darker as yet another, louder scream shakes the battlefield.
"What is that?" Gamer_Thirteen sends one of his Mantis Lieutenants, Pharahis, to investigate.

"You were the noise! Ugh! More mechs! Ok. game plan people? no? Ok... punch it until it dies?" Jerry readies a bomb, throwing it. it explodes on the mech releasing several larger bombs (Bomb of Holding™) they then explode covering your mech in napalm! Jerry runs up to Mendigo and says to him "Plan A! Puppet javelin!" Jerry throws Mendigo full force at the mech. Then he himself sprints up to the foot of the mech. Slicing and dicing with his crackling sun blade. ripping and tearing through metal. I drops multile vials and grenades into the space he carved out and proceeds to detonate them. he goes flying backwards laughing, he casts Tasha's Hideous Laughter on everyone that isn't fighting for him (DC 35). He then turns to Elendon

Elendon glances back at Jerry. "Well, I guess we're on the same side for now. We'll finish our little... squabble... later." He then turns back to Calamitas and Yvonne, swords drawn and at the ready, blades glowing with pure elemental chaos, and divine wrath. "You heard Jerry, Yvonne. Keep in mind that I was HOLDING BACK in my battle against him. If you don't stand down, you will feel my full and unbridled wrath!!"

“YEAH! I HAVEN’T FELT THIS GOOD SINCE I SET A GRENADE OFFIN MY STOMACH” Jerry pops open a flask, and the recognizable smell of gasoline seeps out. He shoots it with a fire bolt and it starts flaming. Then he does nothing. Because of initiative. :(

Jerry simply absorbs them into himself (AC 25) and continues to walk forward. He’s laughing maniacally. “I feel awesome!” He leaps, up across the leg of the giant machine, tearing with his blade as he goes. Attack: 31 Damage: 69 on his way back down from his mighty leap he will lace the crevice with explosives. Damage…32 fire damage… and… 67 force damage…
Edit: so I guess we aren’t doing that whole initiative thing then? I’m okay with that. Just keep it to one post per ‘round’. A ‘round’ would be everyone engaged in battle posting once.

Dunno who INAC is, but they can join. You pick a side, either Jerry, Anti-Jerry, spider guild, or stargazer. (All of the others are fighting Jerry by the way…) people are using stat blocks so you can too. Currently the spider guild has gone rogue and all the people are kind of teamed up against them…? I dunno. Homebrew is definitely allowed, none of this junk is normal!

Elidain, a half-elf in flowing robes, and Doraggic Frostbeard, a dwarf with and ice-blue beard step forward. "Really Mendigo? You think that little thing is enough to change the battle? And did you think that FIRE would stop machines designed to KILL BEINGS OF FIRE??!"
They each go into a short ritual that seems to reverse the last events on each of the mechs, including all damage. Even the now-melted Dreadnaught returns to full functionality. The three deities aside form Elendon then instantly teleport into the Dreadnaught once again. "You'll find it to be better protected now as well. Go ahead, Mendigo, try us." As he says that, multiple ice-blue gems start to glow around the body of the mech, each of them seeming to emit Antarctic cold, as well as multiple runes in the same color appear.
Right after Elidain's voice fades from the speakers, more ground-shaking THUDS come from several locations around the now-ruined temple. Three more pairs of massive bladed legs tear through the walls of the temple in three separate locations, as three more fully automated Dreadnaught-class mechs walk into battle.

"You think you can stop me?" Calamitas smacks Cataclysm aside with its glowing red mace, launching the tiny-in-comparison mech over a hundred feet away. They then turn to Jerry.

ok! so... Jerry's real beat up but is just laughing and stretching, he then started turning into a smoke vortex. Mendigo is now in his true form and has started going ham. Yvonne is the real bad guy as they are promising to wipe out all cults, even anti-Jerry. They are proposing even more large scale violence than Jerry could even begin to dream of
Alright then *Knuckles and neck cracking noises* Let's do this.
Elendon emerges from the smoke to stand in front of Jerry, blocking the path of Calamitas and Yvonne. "ENOUGH YVONNE!!!" His voice thunders across the Battlefield, as the four Dreadnaughts stand behind him and Jerry "YOU ARE NOT A GOD, OR AT LEAST NOT ONE THAT CAN HARM ME!!!! YOU HAVE NO POWER HERE YVONNE!!!! ASK JERRY THE POWER THAT MY BLADES HOLD. I WAS HOLDING BACK ON HIM. IF YOU WANT HIM, YOU'LL HAVE TO DEAL WITH ME FIRST!!!"
Also, Initiative for Elendon: 23
Jerry's smoke flash ends. He is on the ground. his normal peasant clothes are gone, he is seen in his most powerful state. he wears alchemical masterpieces of gauntlets, each designed to spew all his favorite chemicals. They have overbuilt in lighters, for flamethrowers and napalm ignition. His thin suit of armor is entirely heat resistant (cold and hot). His eyes aglow he turns to Mendigo. "Mmmm, good call on the nuke thing, i like the new fire elemental-free look you got going! ow! yeah! what the hell is that noise!"
"**** Yeah! FEELING GOOD!" Jerry was looking pretty good after the smoke transformation but is feeling extra spicy now. Jerry draws his sun blade and readies a flamethrower hand. "Ow! what is that noise! who's doing that!?" Jerry looks around and in doing so sees GLOP and Mantis. "huh? haven't seen you before.. fire gnome and... who are you! aren't you trying to kill me? why are you helping the gnome? uh... cool I guess. it works."
"You were the noise! Ugh! More mechs! Ok. game plan people? no? Ok... punch it until it dies?" Jerry readies a bomb, throwing it. it explodes on the mech releasing several larger bombs (Bomb of Holding™) they then explode covering your mech in napalm! Jerry runs up to Mendigo and says to him "Plan A! Puppet javelin!" Jerry throws Mendigo full force at the mech. Then he himself sprints up to the foot of the mech. Slicing and dicing with his crackling sun blade. ripping and tearing through metal. I drops multile vials and grenades into the space he carved out and proceeds to detonate them. he goes flying backwards laughing, he casts Tasha's Hideous Laughter on everyone that isn't fighting for him (DC 35). He then turns to Elendon
"Hey! god-kid! You got any sorta special stuff? Some super boost? god juice? Hit me with it! Till then im just punching a brick wall... breaking my hand... AS MUCH FUN AS THAT IS"
"He hurts! like a lot!" initiative for Jerry! 22
Elendon glances back at Jerry. "Well, I guess we're on the same side for now. We'll finish our little... squabble... later." He then turns back to Calamitas and Yvonne, swords drawn and at the ready, blades glowing with pure elemental chaos, and divine wrath. "You heard Jerry, Yvonne. Keep in mind that I was HOLDING BACK in my battle against him. If you don't stand down, you will feel my full and unbridled wrath!!"
“Cmon’ I know you got some god boost in there! Gimme!”
Elendon laughs. "I'll give you a temporary infusion of power to help deal with this threat and heal your wounds, but not much more. After all, I may be needing to fight you after this." With that, a bolt of divine fire flies from Elendon's hand and curves back, striking Jerry square in the chest.
“YEAH! I HAVEN’T FELT THIS GOOD SINCE I SET A GRENADE OFF IN MY STOMACH” Jerry pops open a flask, and the recognizable smell of gasoline seeps out. He shoots it with a fire bolt and it starts flaming. Then he does nothing. Because of initiative. :(
"I know that I'm no god, nor will I become one. I just built one instead." And with that, Calamitas shoots three bolts of crackling red lightning at Jerry. 32, 24, and 22 to hit, each one for 41 lightning damage, and Jerry is paralyzed if any of those attacks hit.
"It's a shame we no longer see eye to eye, but don't fret. After all, I still need a few more souls BeFoRe I BATHE THE WORLD IN MY POWER!"

Jerry simply absorbs them into himself (AC 25) and continues to walk forward. He’s laughing maniacally. “I feel awesome!” He leaps, up across the leg of the giant machine, tearing with his blade as he goes. Attack: 31 Damage: 69 on his way back down from his mighty leap he will lace the crevice with explosives. Damage…32 fire damage… and… 67 force damage…
Edit: so I guess we aren’t doing that whole initiative thing then? I’m okay with that. Just keep it to one post per ‘round’. A ‘round’ would be everyone engaged in battle posting once.
*I'm a bit confused, how would one fight this battle. INAC doesn't really have a character sheet so... do we use our best characters? If so, is homebrew allowed?*
Hi, I am not a chest. I deny with 100% certainty that I am a chest. I can neither confirm nor deny what I am beyond that.
I used to portray Krathian, Q'ilbrith, Jim, Tara, Turin, Nathan, Tench, Finn, Alvin, and other characters in various taverns.
I also do homebrew, check out my Spells and Magic Items

Dunno who INAC is, but they can join. You pick a side, either Jerry, Anti-Jerry, spider guild, or stargazer. (All of the others are fighting Jerry by the way…) people are using stat blocks so you can too. Currently the spider guild has gone rogue and all the people are kind of teamed up against them…? I dunno. Homebrew is definitely allowed, none of this junk is normal!
