"Oh, is it not bad being different Aidan.

I guess you didn't know, but I am considered quite short for a Merwoman...the other mergirls used to call me "Sadie the Minnow"!

Perspective is everything, yes?"

Aidan nodded, keeping eye contact at his level. "I agree, I guess it's just my outlook on things."

He blinked.

It was all from perspective. That was quite a bit of wisdom there.

"Thanks, Sadie. I'll keep looking up to you for that."

[Dexexe1234]

: "Now, what is this grim chest for?"

Analyzing question... Done. Activating memory core... Done. Loading custom explanation loadouts #0071... Done. The Grim Chest is a friend of mine! I am sure she can explain it better than I can. I am simply a power source and a storage unit, not the Grim Chest!"

"Does anyone find it strange that this whole place is lit with light, but no sun or moons?

"And before I forget, err, Uniq? How does magic work in this world?"

: "Analyzing questions... Done. Activating memory core... Done. Loading custom explanation loadouts #0007 and 3571... Done. The island is naturally lighted due to the trees. The fog is covering many of them, but when the fog is removed, the trees give off a strong light, created through an internal process of shifting around different proteins! If you got one of the trees into a dark area, you would see that the leaves glow a delightful light blue! It is in fact where they get their color from."

: "Magick works on a very basic scale: Mana is converted into "spell energy", for example, a fire magi would transform mana into pure fire magick through his spells, and through that be able to fire off his abilities. Most skills in this world are based on the manipulation of mana into ones own spell energy form. Going back to the fire magi, the skill "Pyre Bomb" detonates an area away from the magi by converting the natural mana in that area into fire magick and making it explode! The conversion is activated by the magi jolting a burst of its own fire magick over and using it to convert the mana! It is in general the manipulation of mana that makes the magick go round! Do not worry, your darosian bodies give you the ability to work within the confines of magick, just by doing what you did before for casting spells."

Turn 11, Day 1, ???

Bowser starts lumbering towards the Chest, but not before Aidan takes out some items and Sadie deposits the root. As bowser closes in on the Grim Chest, the skull and top suddenly lights up on it, and the Cube gives off a jolt of energy, which quickly enters the Chest.



A flash of light happens, as another Uniq soars out of the Grim Chest!

: "Grim! You are alive! Oh wonderful day, I feared the worst for you!"

: "Oh... Hey Cube... I was wondering when you would return... How many cycles have it been..?"

: "Grim, snap it together! Another set of heroes have come! Explain your duty!"

: "Oh... Okay..."

: "I am the Grim Chest. I handle the death of heroes trialling the land of Acos. If one of your own have fallen, and you aren't at a full 8 heroes, I will spawn a new one, based on one that fell a long time ago in these very lands. Basically I store the souls of those that failed, and replace them with those that failed recently, to give them a new chance. So are you missing any..? Don't answer that, Cube just signalled me that yes, you are missing someone. Let me just do my duty then..."



Grim the Uniq disappeared as the chest popped open, lifting a smaller body in the air. The short person slowly awoke, confused about her whereabouts and what was truly going on.

A little ways away from Bowser, REGIS and Nikolai had located a ton of enemies, and where charging towards them.

Queen and Seuche was joined by Aidan and Sadie, as Queen was looking for something that could be used as a weapon.



She locates a pretty big stick in the mud... Heh, thats a visual pun. The stick is pretty heavy, but it seems durable enough. Queen wonders if she is able to heft it.

Conquest!








Both sides charge into Conquest, initiating a Charge Slam! Both hit with the same level of aggression, so it's a tie! No damage taken on either side!

REGIS figured out Charge Assault: Brick Wall!

Nikolai figured out Charge Assault: Twirl Axe!

Charge Slam:
A Charge Slam is when two groups rush into combat with each other, smashing into each other to try and do as much damage as possible. This initiates the two groups entering the Melee Zone to count together their Aggression and compare them. If it is a tie, none take damage as both got just as rustled as the other. If one side wins, then all the opponents take the amount of damage dealt. Due to this, Charge Slams are often a great way of getting rid of weaker foes if you just wont bother battling them.

Fortis forgot to bold his action. That was kinda annoying. Also FUCK this was a large update you guys D:

[freeformschooler]

((Digital seems kind of AFK, but I'm going to go ahead and see if he'll come back to the realm of the Internet.))

: 'Damn fog. I wonder if this is just one island of many,' she said. 'Well, I suppose we could try that way next.'

Queen tapped Seuche on the shoulder and pointed to the large club.

: "Captain, might you be able to heft this weapon?"

[Digital Hellhound]

The Captain shrugged and leaned down to pick up the piece of wood. If her guns weren't working, it would have to do.

[freeformschooler]

The Captain shrugged and leaned down to pick up the piece of wood. If her guns weren't working, it would have to do.

: "Oh dear. Strong as you look."

Queen pointed to the unaware bugs.

: "Excellent. Aidan and Sadie sneak up on our foes, initiate combat. You come in behind, charging. I'll join last after finding thrown weapon."

Queen searched around one last time - this time for something smaller that she herself could throw or wield.

[Caellath]

With a sharp motion, Nikolai dropped back into a combat stance.
: "Ohhhh, now we got ourselves the real deal. Let's get them." he said, a smirk creeping into his face.

Wring the neck of one of the nearest enemies.

[Evergod41]

"Augh... What...? I thought that we..." Looking around Cora saw the monstrous lizard and shrieked, loudly.

"So, am I confined to never ending deaths tormenting me for all eternity?" Upon calming down, and not being devoured immediately, Cora realized the situation.

"Oh, you're... here just the same, eh? Sorry about the confusion, dieing can do that to you... damn that plumber, didn't know first thing about working together..." Cora seems then to mumble about some plumber garbed in red and his stoic silence

"Anywho, seems like we're surrounded... lovely." Brace for combat, defend the cube/grimchest

[Burkhart]

"OOOH! SMASHY-TIME! HEY TURTLES! GETS OVERS HERES WITHUN DA NEW GIRLS IFFUN YOUSE WANTS IN ON DA FUN!"

REGIS tried punching the nearest Scale Trasher into the ground.

[Dwarmin]

Sadie pulled Aidan along at breakneck pace.

"Let's go explore the area, Aidan! It looks like a dried up river of some sort, or perhaps a road. Which means it leads to something wonderful!"

Aidan wasn't going fast enough (for her) she she ended picking him up anyway and tucking him under her arm until they got there. She didn't seem to have much trouble lifting him.

"We can go much faster this way-You're as light as a little Seal." She said, giggling.

...

"I occasionally eat seals when I can catch them. Yum Yum."

Aidan is getting the idea Sadie likes to joke around with him. Or is she?!

Action: Join Queen and Captain! Search the muddy road/river area next.

[Fortis]

Bowser was interrupted in his attempted plundering of the chest by Uniq talking to it. Before his eyes, it spawned another blocky thing like the cube he carried, and blathered on about some sort of souls business that didn't seem too interesting to him. Before long, it popped out another person, this one a really short woman who didn't even come up to his waist. Of course, she promptly began screaming. Bowser just sighed, and reached down to pick Cora up by the back of her tunic, and lifted her up to the level of his face.

"First, I ain't here to torment you, so stop the shrieking. I'm stuck here too," Bowser said. "Second, don't ever mention that plumber. And third, we've got fighting to do. So grab whatever you can for a weapon and follow me." Bowser just set Cora down again, before turning and lumbering for the group of creatures that had engaged REGIS and Nikolai. With a roar, he charged into battle, slamming the first opponent he came across.

"Bwahahaha! It's showtime!"

[Tiruin]

"Alright, muddy soil, partly loam and must be a sign of wate-"

Sadie pulled Aidan along at breakneck pace.

"Let's go explore the area, Aidan! It looks like a dried up river of some sort, or perhaps a road. Which means it leads to something wonderful!"

Aidan felt lithe arms wrap around his body, lifting him into the air easily like the gigantic birds of prey back home.

"We can go much faster this way-You're as light as a little Seal." She said, giggling.

...

"I occasionally eat seals when I can catch them. Yum Yum."

Taking in the fact that he was on an eight or so foot creature, the height was particularly amazing. The trees were giving off a faint brilliance only expected from luminescent bodies. It was totally awesome.

"This is-...amazing!"

Somehow, he could detect the faint smell of the sea nearby. Or was that Sadie?

"Look at all that! The trees are glowi- Hey what?

"Look up! The tree! There's something watching us!"

Scan the treetops for any sign of danger//other creatures, and between the trees for any sign of movements!

Also, look for any wooden object I could carry...from my position.

[Dwarmin]

"Oh my! Many somethings? I suppose we'll have to fight the strange creatures again..." Sadie said. After Aidan was done spying from his high vantage, she put him down carefully so as not to shatter him inadvertently.

[Tiruin]

"Thanks for that Sadie. You know, I always wondered how it feels to be from your height.

"And it's pretty nice, actually."

Aidan was partly glad to have his feet back on solid ground, and not anything unstable, but the gesture from his merfolk-friend was appreciated much.

"Do you think something's watching us? I just...well, that looked like a couple of eyes."

[Dexexe1234]

Turn 12, Day 1, ???

As the Uniq's looked on, the other two of group A rushed into combat, Cora going more slowly at it, not activating a Charge.

Down southeast, Aidan and Queen were looking for some stuff to use as weaponry!



Aidan found a long stick that he could use in the treetops, but sadly he cannot take it! As soon as he picks it up, his fruit, juice or paste wants to leave the inventory! It seems that he just doesn't have room.



Queen finds a simple rock. It seems sorta familiar?... Naaah, its just a rock.

As they continue on, the four seem to have wandered into a very obvious trap. The creatures around them seem anxious and uneasy, but this state of mind didn't seem to stem from the group. Something else was riling up the creatures down here.

Meanwhile, in the combat zone...

Bowser comes rushing in, Slamming a foe which makes it shut up and die. Cora simply Shifts Zone into the battle.



REGIS and Nikolai acts first, going in for the kill! REGIS smashes one of the poor suckers into the ground, making it combust into plates and miasma. Nikolai starts strangling one of them, whose neck plates snap and the creature explodes into plates and miasma in his hands.

The two creatures left seems to be discussing something!



The creatures use a Combo Move: Double Chomp! Sadly for them, it didn't do more than 1 damage.

Spoiler: Inventory (click to show/hide)

Combo Move:
These special moves are born when two people have a large enough affinity for each other. Randomly when both these characters are attacking or using a skill, they might realize that these abilities can be chained together into one very strong ability! Companionship is very important in the creation of Combo Moves.

Spoiler: authors glasses (click to show/hide)

Shit, forgot the hearts on the enemy deaths, along with adding the two extra health meters to the Conquest Image... Fuck, Dex you are usually good at remembering the little things... Also I hope you enjoy the animation, even though it IS in the enemy's favor!

[Dwarmin]

"Hmm, I have some room in my inventory. Can I hold that branch for you until you can use it, Aidan?" Sadie asked, batting her eyes charmingly at him.

Assuming his sanction, she prepared for the charge of the black beasts.

Action: Take the Stick Aidan found and wield it as a weapon, with his permission. Since we're probably going to get charged, go into Defensive Stance!
