mcd900 Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 It felt natural, all of a sudden; to step into the face of danger, to feel the blow against her armor - allow the enemy to overextend, let them make their mistakes... and capitalize as they fell into her range, striking out before they so much as had the chance to make another lapse in judgment. The enemy was behind them, now, as well-- Laniva to (9, 5). The enemy was falling handily before their assault forwards, and it seemed there was little directly in front of their little party, now; save one last nuisance fluttering about. The witch concentrated once more upon her tome, letting the magic flow, willing it towards her enemy... Seila to (10, 5), Lightning Flash Wyvern 3.

[62, 11] (32) A flick of her wrist, a shake of her robes, Seila pinpointed the rider's path of flight before obliterating the man, his mount, the ground beneath his mount, and causing the castle to shake with the blast from the thunder. Seila on the other hand, simply adjusted her hat, knowing that there was nothing left of her target. Critical! Seila gains 30 EXP, and +2 Anima EXP! Cin engages Fighter 5!

Lati slams the Steel Greatbow down, and targets Thief 1! [20, 49] As the massive bow hit the ground, Thief 1 looked over at Lati, saw the bow and arrow pointed in his direction. "Oh shi--" The arrow came and took him through the air nailing him against the pillar behind him, crushing him with the force of the arrow. Lati gains 6 EXP, and +2 Bow EXP!

[81, 81] (72) The magical weapon cleaved through the Wyvern as if it were air, the weapon infused with just the right kind of magic to make it effective! Aegean gains 34 EXP, and +2 Axe EXP!

Mercenary on the Winds Posted June 7 Author Share Posted June 7 ENEMY PHASE TURN 5! Ballistician 1 takes aim at Versaris once more! [10, 12] This time the bolt finds its mark, and deals 17 damage! "I wonder what's going on out there... Boss said for us to stay in here, and stay out of the way of the real guards." The shaman next to the mage was going through some exercises, and scoffed, "At this point, don't really care, so long as they don't come in here, and bother us, they can keep doing what they're doing. Serdio's spine, this doesn't pay enough." The door swung open, and both men turned towards the door, only for the mage to be turned into a fine mist by a knife. "AAAAAAAA" Shaman 1 panics and attacks Aly! [42, 41] The Dark magic goes helplessly wide! Aly counters! [91, 61] (5), Adept activates!, [12, 29] Perhaps more brutal than the last, Alriana moved fast enough that the shaman could have sworn that she never moved at all. He felt the pain of the blade striking his vitals, but he couldn't scream, nor move, as if he were frozen in time. Perhaps that was for the best, he didn't want to see what sort of monster could do something like that... Critical! Aly gains 6 EXP, and +3 Hidden EXP! Armor Knight 5 has a Greatsword duel with Lani! [67, 4] The Sword wielding armor approached with a frightening amount of pace, the frightening sword in his hand moving deftly, he feinted right, and but instead went for a downward strike. It was perfect, the cat's blade would be too slow to stop it, her armor not enough to dull the strike, but he'd misjudged ever so slightly, as his blade grazed Lani's own, causing him to graze her armor instead of dealing the killer blow. Critical Miss! Lani taking no chances strikes back! [24, 29], [7, 2] As if not to be outdone, Lani countered, first by pinning the man's blade with her own, and then a lightning fast, crushing spin as she crashed her sword into the man's side, the armor dent and a low crack followed. Critical! Lani gains 18 EXP, and +3 Sword EXP! PLAYER PHASE TURN 6! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanami Touko Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 (edited) "Tch!" Whoever was operating that ballista was getting better with his aim, Versaris wincing heavily at the sudden wound as rhe bolt grazed along his right arm. "Well... Haven't been hurt since Luthier. Kudos. But." As Aly turned the mages into mince, Versaris drew the beautifully intricate silver sword he'd purchased, letting his left hand do the talking this time. "If you're going to take me out, it had better be all at ONCE!" Sari to 11,39, silver sword Ballistician #1 "More reinforcements, eh!?" Alvira whipped around and cracked her tail against the tiles, rushing up to square off with one of the horsemen. "I don't think you shitbirds get it. It doesn't matter how many of you there are! As long as we're still standing, you all meet your makers!" Alvira to 9,7, Light Cavalier #12 Edited June 8 by Nanami Touko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorri Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Alvira turned back to face the reinforcements, angrily shouting at them as she did. Cin couldn't help but smirk slightly at the other dragon's anger, not disagreeing with it in the slightest. It didn't matter how many of these men were thrown at them, the Tigers were going to win. He turned to join her, targeting a man who fought similarly to how he did. Hopefully the rest of the group would be able to push forward while a handful of them took on the reinforcements.

Ether Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 The wyvern went down in a flash, with basically no resistance as her magic tore both beast and rider to mere scraps of flesh and viscera. There were no more foes in her immediate vicinity, though a few were approaching the group slightly above her. A group that, in the current situation, most importantly contained Cassandra, who was still grievously wounded. That wouldn't do at all. Moving back into a closer position to said group, Roxanne rose her staff and pointed it towards Cass, channeling her magic across the distance through the implement. "Hold tight Cass, I've got you!"

Ursali Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 (edited) The next bolt that came arcing out of the room was much closer to Versaris than the creation appreciated, the only thing stopping her from rushing the man behind the contraption was the dark magic user that thought to try to stop her. Versaris was already moving in the time it took her to silence the nuisance, the man slumping to the ground, dead. "Mrrhh..." She bristled as the adrenaline from seeing Versaris wounded was left with no outlet, leading to a long pause as she debated chewing him out for making her worry, even if it had only been a second. "........Should go get Renais to treat you. Know you don't fight the best when wounded." She moved over to the row of chests as she spoke, using the key she'd looted off one of the mages to open the lock. Aly to 11, 40 loot chest.

Nanami Touko Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Versaris sheathed his sword and huffed, holding his right arm. "What, you think I won't?" At least Aly couldn't hide her frustrations about this... It was rather cute, all things considered. "I'll make sure she sees to it right away when we leave the area. Promise... As much fun as it is to have you doting over me like that. You're adorable, you know?" He couldn't help smirking, knowing it would likely frustrate her, but that only made her look cuter... M was really feeling herself. She hated to admit it, but this group was much more competent than her own men. "I should've waited. I should've waited and I'm fucking pissed off for not waiting! Which means you get the brunt of it!" M to 15,11 .38 Pirate #4 "Everyone, behind me!" Lati pulled her short bow out and glanced both in front and behind her. Reinforcements on both ends, and no easy way to combat them. "I'll take you all on!" I can at least hold this side off...! Lati to 6,30, shortbow on "Khhh... Fine. Don't let yourself die, archer!" Sylmaria groaned, heading closer to the other reinforcements... Too many knights, too much armor. "And me without my spell... Damned magic, work more, when I want you to." She tried to form the spell in her palm, but she was truly spent, the magic fizzling. "Ghh... I'm too damn tired. This fight needs to end, and soon." Sylm to 8,26 "Got it, Lati. Stay alive."

Xinnidy Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 "Haah... okay, we're getting pincered. Hm." Taking a deep breath Chris turned the platform around, moving it in reverse. "Focus, focus... ahhh, mon dieu, so many--Okay, horseback first, they're going to slow down because of the stairs!" Chris to (12,6), shoot cav 13. "Mrr..." More men were coming, men carrying pure weapons. Üllr was healthy, but he wanted to avoid those chances, still feeling the wounds he'd taken from earlier while invading the keep's lower levels. "Too far..." He didn't need to play aggressive, just get closer... Üllr to (9,29). Owen stared towards the stairs, clicking his tongue as he noise of steel and hooves rang louder. "Careful, they're coming down all at once, don't overstep." Owen to (9,27). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluemask 96 Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Gean was surprised at how little resistance the wyvern gave as she cleaved the rider and their mount in two. For a moment she stood there looking down at her new weapon, as a spark of lightning ran across her arm. Her musing were cut short by Owen's warning, there was a big group approaching soon. Gean moved ahead, but stayed close enough to the group where she was sure she'd be out of range. "Come to mama, I got something for the lot of ya..."

JakezuGD Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 "Ngh!" That was the first hit Tasha had taken all battle long, but even though the axeman had his aim on point, it didn't do all that much, and it was the last thing he ever did. "It's not a real fight if you don't have to bleed a little, eh?" Their opposition having advanced behind them, many turned back to take them out before they could make it up the choke point of the stairs, to which she gladly lent her assistance, firing upon the horseman their artillery cat had just tagged. Sawing back and forth like this isn't good for progress, but we need to not get pincered... Natalya moves to 8-5 and fires her rifle at Cavalier 13!

mcd900 Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Close - close, but not close enough as the blade glanced off her plate, the knight being struck down in turn with her own.

mcd900 Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 Amera was heading the other direction... it was a shame; Seila was certainly feeling her absence from her side. The cat was more than her good luck charm on the battlefield. She drew another tome from within her robes, moving forwards into range to handle a pesky armor knight - a little closer than she liked her foes to be, but such as it was... Still, though... I suppose if there's any place to learn to trust the rest of these mercenaries, there's no time like mortal danger. Here goes nothing~ Seila to (6, 5), Thunder Axe Armor 5.

Billy12510 Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 While Syndra wanted to confirm her suspicions, the incoming group of Kazran's men put a slight hold to that plan, realizing if she went forward anymore she'd be slaughtered.

TheRoon Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 There were some close calls, but the group around Renais still did well. She did her best to keep a straight face to reassure them, though she had to admit the action certainly kept her on her toes. Can't relax now, we're not out of the woods just yet.

Ursali Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 "Mrrrhhh..." Versaris' teasing elicited a growl from Alriana, her tail beginning to whip now that there was no immediate danger in their vicinity. "Now not time for this! Either help loot chests or go see Renais!" She stomped her foot, turning away from him to hide her pout and blush.

Mercenary on the Winds Posted June 10 Author Share Posted June 10 (edited) Nyx scowled as their new friends rolled up on them like pirates on treasure, but it looked like everyone already had their plans figured out, so the only thing to do was to give their new mage friend some pep in their step. Nyx gave the woman a pat on the back, eyes kept on Syn, until she realized that was probably a little too soft to have been the mage's back, "Oh, uh, sorry!" Nyx notched and arrow and turned back the other way, hoping she wasn't about to reap a bolt of lightning or something... Nyx moved to 11, 5 and shoved Seila forward (Took effect before Seila's move to give her the range) Cin punches Brawler 8! [70, 8] (46), [75, 18] (94) Double Punch!

Nanami Touko Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Versaris looked around and shrugged, stepping past Alriana and nabbing the key with one hand, while he gave her rear a quick spank with the other. "Considering we've been given a momentary reprieve from their forces, and I'm too injured to fight without you worrying... I'd say now is the perfect time to rile you up some. You don't like it?" Versaris to 10,40, trade the chest key, rile up Aly, pop open that box "Now who is... Is..." Sylmaria stared at the incoming forces, and at the head of them... "G... G-Gio, Giovanna, GiovaNNA!" It was her! She was safe! She was okay... "I-I, I came back! I came back to kill him, and to save you, and... And... you're okay...!" Sylmaria's vision was a bit blurry, the tears forming, her eyes glancing towards the nomad riding next to her only friend, wearing armor of similar color and pattern... "Are... Are they... If you, change sides, will they...?" Sylmaria didn't want to kill anyone that respected Giovanna. Anyone that was willing to fight at her side of their own wishes, not Kazran's... But if she had to... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ursali Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 "Hyah!?" Alriana let out a, to the public, uncharacteristic yelp as she felt the smack of Versaris' hand against her rear, turning to glare at him. "Now not time for this! Need to take battle seriously!" She huffed as she moved past him, snatching the key out of his hand as her tail pulled back before releasing like a whip into his own posterior with much more force than he'd used on her. "If you going to behave like this when try to be nice when worrying, will go back to punching you. Hmph." Aly to 9.40, trade chest key, counter attack Sari, open chest.

I just think it's nice to take a breather when we have the chance... This isn't going to be easy, so we should relax and loosen up while we can~" And I don't mind getting that fire lit for later...
