The Saga of Las Aminour

The Battle of Las Aminour, Part 4

The hellfire engine that the throwing axe was thrown into coughs, splutters, then stops. The fire inside it continues burning.
Xo is struggling to think of anything he can do to help out. The castle is very large, and it would take him too long to reach the top. Rieka is handling the big demon machines, Sheerow seems to be talking to Aaron, and Akyan is destroying stuff, which is a one person job. He starts picking up broken building chunks and throwing them into a slightly less messy pile, in case a person is trapped or something.
Malikaly rushes at one of the hellfire engines and attacks it once with his shortsword. However, all external attacks on the engines prove to be useless, except for turning them in the direction of their attackers and destroying the surrounding buildings.
The pile Xo was building grows too high, and the closest hellfire engine blows it up into the surrounding radius. Shrapnel tears at Xo's skin.

"Oww..." With gritted teeth and watered eyes, Xo puts his large palm on what would be his chest. He looks at the machine, now with low eyebrows. He would have said something if he knew what to say. Seriously confused at what to do now, Xo slightly limps to a more flat area. He holds his shield uselessly in front of him, while also picking out the shrapnel with his long fingernails.

Meanwhile, the hellfire engine that had a rock thrown into it begins bubbling with hellfire lava. It then erupts, and Malikaly and Rieka are hit with the demonic fire.

Malikaly grimaces and drops to one knee. He then wipes the blood off of his face and runs to the Aeroport.

"Malikaly, are you al-" Rieka turns to face the water genasi, only to see him run off. "Oh. Ok then."

The Paladin doesn't look too good. Her hair is singed, and part of her armor is slightly melted from the fiery blast. Unperturbed, however, Rieka turns her attention to the hellfire engine that attacked Xo.

"Don't think I didn't see what you did to my friend, you demonic machine," she growls, her lips curling up in disgust. "Take this!"

With that, she scoops up another rock and hurls it into the engines open mouth. As soon as she does, she dashes backward, holding up her shield.

Lava belches out again, but this time not as far. The hellfire engine stops this time, and remains dormant like the last one.

Malikaly enters the Aeroport, and searches for the engine room. He finds it, and it is a massive subterranean area. It is filled with large cogs and steampunk pulley systems. They are all linked to a computer system, which has a dull glow.

Malikaly shuts the computer system off, which also power the red alert down. All the reinforced glass is removed from the computers Akyan had been smashing earlier. It does not stop the hellfire engines, however.

The imp-like creature that had been seen next to Aaron appears next to Xo. "Are you okay, enemy of my sir?"

Bits of wood and metal cover most of Xo's right side. "Yes, I am perfectly fine, butler of a maniac. What troubles you?"

The imp-like creature looks up at Xo. "I was unsure of sir's plans to destroy the entire city. I thought he was only going to go after the Rightful Queen. Please, Do, stop my sir so that he doesn't hurt anyone else."

"Uhuh, right." Sheerow flips over onto her stomach, her feet kicking up one after the other in the air behind her as she rests her chin in bother her palms. "And why does this concern me? Have I done anything to harm your... political campaign, or whatever this is? Your reign? And also, isn't Parcival dead now? Or am I getting that confused with that other guy..." She crosses her ankles, kicking them together now. "What was his name, General something?"
