Billy12510 Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 The group was making progress getting through the enemies in their path, but reinforcements had shown up to get in their way. Versaris had shown up, but it seemed as if the rabble that arrived wasn't a match for him. Syndra sensed that they were mostly fighting with magic, so Syndra decided to take a chance. She walked over towards them, channeling a spell and declared. "Hello there, I'm feeling generous right about now, so I'm going to offer the two of you one chance to surrender, if you don't..." Syndra said while staring at the monk standing right behind the armored man, "You can join him." She then snapped her fingers and sent an arctic blast at the monk. Syndra moves to 5-16 and casts Blizzard at Monk 2! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRoon Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Renais was finally in range of that knight she met briefly last night, she simply had to return the favor. So she rushed to Jesse's side and used her staff to bring her back from the edge. Renais moves to 9, 17 and uses Mend on Jesse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanami Touko Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 "Oh, thank goodness..." The Tigers' healer had attended to Jesse, with a much more powerful implement. That left Ren with some heavy peace of mind. "Alright... Excuse me!" One of the more odd monsters of their company was injured, Ren running over to them. "If you don't mind..."

Ursali Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 (edited) "Rahhh! Listen to me! If only you can hear it than it isn't anything good!" Now truly wasn't the time for this, even with the temporary lull in combat. She didn't have the time to properly explain this to her sister; not without the rest of the Tigers hearing it anyway. They were her family, yes, but she didn't know how they would react to her admitting she constantly had thoughts of killing them floating around in the back of her mind whenever she was mildly inconvenienced by them; especially when tensions were already so high with the supposed thief being within reach. "Ah... Thanks." She hadn't noticed the short and quiet healer approached her until she felt her healing magic patching up her minor wounds. The situation with Iris could wait a bit longer, preferably until privacy was an option. In the meanwhile, it was time to cull the herd as they approached... Aly to 16,15 ensure Iron Dagger is equipped. Edited February 20, 2023 by Ursali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siorel to 12,14, STR dance Nyx "Pick that guy off for us, wouldja?" Versaris hadn't expected the lot of them to go for him, but he was happy to deal with at least one of them, especially the most troublesome one. He let the man stab wide, sliding in close and drawing his weapon with a grunt, the sword slicing through the man. With another hefty swing towards the ground, he shook the fresh blood off it, sheathing it just as quickly as it had been drawn. "With that dealt with..." Versaris moves to 8,17 "Hey there, Cin! Enjoying the party? It's about to get a lot louder..." Edited February 20, 2023 by Nanami Touko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcd900 Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Things were looking... slightly better than they had a moment ago.

You attack us right away and refuse to talk and you can't even back up your action. Fuck all of you! I'll freeze you down to your souls! A certain Goddess' intervention hadn't helped her stay cool, either... "Whatever!" Alriana was being annoying. She wasn't making sense and she was really trying to drive it in... "Talk later!

Xinnidy Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Having to deal with the soldier and archer, Üllr finally sustained wounds to take notice again. The familiarity of throwing himself against weapons was a bit unpleasant... still, it was part of the job. He had to do his part to keep the others safe, in his mind. The salve didn't seem too complicated to apply either, thankfully, and in the moment he put the chakrams away, to relax his claws. Üllr to 16-14, unequip chakrams for claws and vuln up.

Bluemask 96 Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 It appeared that the next wave was coming along, and a couple of mercs coming from behind them. Some were staying behind to take care of the pincer, and those going ahead seemed to be getting agitated. Luckily Rene had recovered their fallen knight. Gean was still surveying the battlefield when she noticed and odd glow. Looking down, her necklace, the same one she was given from her family, shimmered a brilliant blue. She felt that same tug as before, and grew more certain about who was on the other side of this mountain. "Shit" Gean cursed as she moved forward. They- she needed to move fast. Gean to 13-15 Jesse opened her eyes to the color pink and a warm glow was moving over her body. Sitting up, she was conscious and next to who she could tell was the Tiger's healer. She pushed any negative motion down as her returning hearing told her that the fighting was still going on. "Thank ya'. I'll be ok, just gotta get back to Charlon." Her partner had seemed to calm down, but his ear were still perked in alarm. She gave him a few strokes. "Sorry for spooking you bud, it's fine now. We still got a job to do." She got back up but took some time to readjust, and summon her armor once more. Jesse idles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JakezuGD Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 "Tch, three magic users and a pure weapon. Couldn't have asked for a worse group to try and deal with." At least Syndra saw her opportunity to take a good fight, and the Commander wasn't about to stop her. "I'm no good against magic, so I'll let you handle 'em! Gotta keep the group moving!" She may have been hiding things from the group, sure, but she was still putting herself at risk in combat as before to help the Tigers out. That was the Syndra that Natalya had been payrolling, after all... even if she did need a closer eye on her now. Tasha moves to 10-17 and pulls her rifle back out.

Mercenary on the Winds Posted February 20, 2023 Author Share Posted February 20, 2023 Tio looked over her shoulder to see that there had in fact been a pincer attack forming. The Tigers were certainly up to the task, and Versaris made quick work of one. The small force of Wyverns that had tried to enter the fray found themselves hovering at a distance; the earlier wyverns that had ignored their threat found themselves forced out of the sky. After four wyverns, and just as many spells, the riders pulled back, but didn't retreat completely. Tio clicked her tongue, "I don't like this. They're not retreating, but they don't look like they're prepared to talk... Devoted mercenaries, that's for sur-- huh?" Tio looked to her west to see two more riders arrive, both looking battered. "Elisa, do you see that?" Tio's eyesight wasn't good enough to see everything, but anyone could see what followed, as the riders all broke to the east, leaving them behind. "What?! Where are they go-- They're flying over the mountain. ...Shoot. We may not be able to remain as neutral as I would like! There's time at least, but..." Reinforcements will appear from the North soon! ENEMY PHASE TURN 5! Velura looked to the west; their Wyvern partners should have already started arriving, and charging over the nearby mountain at the target. But a quick scan showed that wings were on the air in her direction. "Whaaat? What are they doing?! They're supposed to be attacking from--" "Commander! We may have an issue, Zeit's left his position, and nearly all of his men have charged forth!" Velura looked confused for a moment, "What? I know he said that he'd get the target but all of his men?! What's going on down there?! ...Never mind. I'll go figure it out myself. You all!" Velura looked at the archer corp, "You remain here. If the target slips by us, you shoot them out of the sky, you got that? The rest of you, we advance! Oh, and if one of those blasted lizard flying apes shows up and asks where I am, tell him I'm doing their job and ask them why the fuck they're not following the plan!" Velura huffed and then charged off, following after her men. The monk looks at Syndra and her threat as she froze his compatriot. "And you'll be fucked when the drakes get here you bitch. Too much is at stake and to be gained to listen to dreck like you! Cool spell and all, but you're even better at leaving people open!" Monk 2 charges past Syndra and attacks Jesse! [79, 46] Jesse is blasted by light magic for 13 damage! Sword Armor 3 does the same, targeting Renais! [35, 42] The attack clips the healer for 6 damage! Merc 6 sees the enemy approaching, and engages Miria!

Cav 9 fills in the gap! [21, 80] With a swing of the Armorslayer, it cleaves right through Aly's armor leaving her near death, and at the mercy of darker thoughts... Both Armor Purge, and Inner Beast activate! Aly? counters!

Billy12510 Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 They not only ignored her offer, they just charged past and told Syndra about more reinforcements. "Idiots, don't just tell your enemy what your plans are!" Syndra was well intent on punishing them both for their arrogance, but the monk needed to pay more. She moved back towards the others, alerting her commander. "Commander, they're going to send more drakes after us soon!" She then channeled her spell, planning to bury the other monk in ice.

Xinnidy Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 And there went the ointment. Üllr was bleeding even more, managing to gut the mercenary in return with his claws before he could pull the claymore back. "Gah..." And more were approaching... this tactic was looking a bit hopeless... Thankfully, a magical feeling started to numb the pains of his wounds. Catching that second wind and still full of adrenaline, Üllr grabbed his weapons once more. He needed to push on, for everyone's sake. "GRAAAAAH!" Üllr to 17-11, attack fighter 5 with chakrams.
