[Tiruin]

Aidan returned the look with a flat expression. What caused Nik to suddenly become hostile?

"I'm sure you would, but then that would invalidate the duel you'd be having wouldn't it? Try to inspire the rest your way, then."

[Caellath]

: "I'm just kidding, for the most part. But seriously, do not sing."

[Dexexe1234]

Just as REGIS had punched around with his spells and depleted some of his stored Mana, the Shogun Slasher spoke up again:

: "Oh, how rude of me! You all seem damaged or at least shocked! Here, let me aid you!"

The Shogun collected a dark mass of power in his hand and blasted the wave over the heroes. Just as they thought there where getting attacked preemptively, they felt their spirits rise as they fully healed both Health and Mana.

: "Normally that is used to heal my Samurai Slashers, but I will not be using them, as already established!"

"Yahoo? Ding? How do we power our um, stats? That is the correct term, yes? I could stand to be a little less fragile... Also, are you danger from the creatures of this world if we leave you alone?"

: "You power up your stats by the help of the Status Screens that I have, but the problem is that I seem to be lacking the modus for it! I have tried to get it to work but, I just cannot bring it up! Maybe you will find it around here somewhere... Also, the world around us is a very dangerous place! If you leave me alone and also leave the Cube around me, the foes will come for me as the Cube acts as a power source and makes it so that I can even exist. If you take the cube with you though, then the creatures couldn't care less about me or even Grim over there. Basically, you only need to protect the Cube if you keep it away from us! Simple right?"

"Can we carry the Bell as well as your own holdings? Does the bell mind if we could do so? And is there any other way to help you recharge?

"Are you telepathic? I was with Sadie the whole time and I've never heard her mention anything about fossils at all."

The wellknown voice rings from inside the Cube:

: "Analyzing questions...Done. Activating memory core...Done. Loading custom explanation loadouts #3742 and #4241... Done. The bell is one of the only machines too big to carry around. Basically you would need a crane to lift it. As Ding just explained though, you don't have to protect her, just move the Cube away from her and presto, Ding is preserved due to not being charged by my power. Also, I am not psychic, as I am not the one making the titles. Neither are Ding or Dong or Grim or any of the other Uniqs. Some of the stuff is drawn from the world around us, and these titles are one of those things. The one who makes them could be the fault of... The Outsider."

Turn 20(1), Day 1, Flood




The group conversed tactics and got itself ready, while the captain takes a drink and a bite to replenish herself. Meanwhile, Queen spends 12 of the Tones they have stored in the Cube to learn Heal.


As the toll was payed and the tones were rung, Queen felt a different experience than the one from before. She saw endless possibilities in the world around her, for the duration of the 12 tolls, she could see the natural mana, gliding through the air like a fog of pure energy. She could see the potential of all this mana, being used to cure untold people, even worlds. Just as she got used to the experience though, her senses dulled again, as the real world took grip and brought her back down.

: "What... Was that all about?"

: "I am saddened to hear that the Elf does not want to participate in the combat, but my challenge did specify that you could decide not to fight! I will make sure that my units will not harm you as this war happens! You are free do explore the island as you want to! Now, Honorable enemies..."

: "PREPARE TO FACE THE VOID!!!"






The heroes are a little confused about the fact that four people seem to be standing in the Medium Zone.

Boss Battles:
Boss battles are always a special occasion, as the combat field expands so up to 5 people can stand in a single zone instead of the normal 3. The boss will also if it is a large boss, fill all three zones on it's side of the battlefield. Smaller bosses still adhere to the normal rules of zones though.

[Dwarmin]

Sadie seemed to be calmed by a combination of Aidan's help and the Shoguns restoration.

"...Thank you Aidan. I am still afraid...but I must fight. It is best you stay here. You are still very short, and I...like you alot. I am strong enough for that.

Um...I must go. We will defeat this creature...I hope!"

She loped away to the battle, dejectedly.

...

"As much as I detest violence...I think I will enjoy beating you, Shogun Slasher. I will not let you hurt Aidan! Or, uh, the rest of my friends!" She proclaimed angrily, holding her little club aloft.

While her first inclination was to charge forward, she thought it might be good to get an idea of her opponent before she faced him.

Action: Use my intellect to read the Shoguns Slashers body movements and strategy, and possible weaknesses over the course of the turn.

[Evergod41]

"Tch! If only I had my harp, this encounter would be much more enjoyable."

Cora fires her bow into the chest of the shogun.

[Tiruin]

Aidan gazed around, the slashers were waiting patiently at the bridge -- no passage there. He also couldn't interrupt the battle, for even singing would perhaps break the agreement. It was truly silent except for the occasional quip and yell from his allies...He had a feeling that Nik had a grudge with him, judging by his tone.

Why couldn't he be more useful?

"Hey Uniq, suppose I tried out the bow that Cora is using now. I don't seem to have any skills for it in...Ding's status list, yet I knew how to fire one perfectly back in my world. Possible for me to use and do something not in my skill list with efficiency?

"Also...What exactly gave that thing Shogun reason to fight us in a duel? Sure, it is honorable to have slain your foes personally, but...he's sacrificing the lives of his men if he does lose. Can you expound more on...Dong? Who is that?"

Ask, and try not to mope.

Cora fires her bow into the chest of the shogun.

((You mean fires her arrow!  ))

[Caellath]

: "The game's on!" Nikolai exclaimed before starting to sprint towards the Shogun.

The first turns of a combat were important to analyze the enemy's fighting style and moves. Even if the Shogun counterattacked or blocked Nikolai, at least some of his tricks could be revealed early on.

Slide and hammer kick to his left ankle.

: "Hey, captain, you can join the frontlines as well now."

[freeformschooler]

: "Ah! Take this!"

Queen boomerang tossed her root at the boss.

[Digital Hellhound]

Get to the fray (move forward a zone, that is) and beat some sense into this Shogun

[Fortis]

This shogun slasher was being a good sport about all of this. If he wasn't going to kill them, he'd make a good servant. Bowser doubted he could recruit him though. That 'honor' sacrifice was proving useful, but it also probably ruled out convincing the slasher to defect. Ah well, he had different minions now, even if some of them claimed otherwise. Of course, beating the tar out of him was almost as good and a lot more fun.

With a roar, Bowser attacked the Shogun Slasher, clawing at him. Nothing fancy this time, no wrestling, no fire breathing, just a straight forward ripping to shreds.

[Burkhart]

REGIS charged with Bowser, trying to give the large reptile support in his assault. Attack seemed like the most obvious option right now, so REGIS punched the Shogun as hard as he could. Not the healing kind of punch, either. The kind that hurts.

Turn 20(2), Day 1, Flood

"Hey Uniq, suppose I tried out the bow that Cora is using now. I don't seem to have any skills for it in...Ding's status list, yet I knew how to fire one perfectly back in my world. Possible for me to use and do something not in my skill list with efficiency?

"Also...What exactly gave that Shogun reason to fight us in a duel? Sure, it is honorable to have slain your foes personally, but...he's sacrificing the lives of his men if he does lose. Can you expound more on...Dong? Who is that?"

"Analyzing questions...Done. Activating memory core...Done. Loading custom explanation loadouts #0073, #0833 and #5611...Done. Yes, you would be able to use the bow perfectly fine, but some things might not happen. It will be slightly harder to aim, and you might even fumble once in a while, but it doesn't mean that you cannot use it though! There are ways to gain more profficiencies though. I don't know how, but, there are ways."

"The boss is fighting all of you alone because of your Sacrifice, Honor, which makes it work on a much more confusing series of laws. These creatures effectively has no worth to even themselves, so much that they will kill themselves if their masters tell them to. It doesn't mean much, they will keep spawning and keep coming until they destroy me and the Cube. I am the key to you guys being here, so naturally they want to kill the weakpoint."

"Dong is a Uniq, just like the rest of the machines around. What makes him different is that we bugged the crap out of him about his name, and through that he swore revenge upon all of us. He works for the enemy now, demanding Sacrifice to open up for things he locks down. You may be able to help him later on and convert him, but for now, he is a foe just like everything else here that wants us all dead."

Meanwhile, at the Conquest...






A gigantic Assault is made towards the Shogun, dealing it collectively 16 damage!!

The Shogun gets a glimmer in it's eye.

: "YESS!! GOUGE OUT MY EYES AND MY BLOOD IN GLORIOUS COMBAT!! TRULY THIS IS PURE HONOR!!"

...Erh... Im not touching that one...


The fiend retaliates with Wind Shear! The entire front row is cut and all of them move back a Zone!

: "Whoah! It's like he cuts with the wind itself!"

[freeformschooler]

Queen noticed that Seuche was badly hurt! Another attack like that and he'd be down.

: "Don't worry, I'm here to help!"

Queen stayed in her current zone and healed the captain.

[Caellath]

Nikolai smirked as he attacked and grimaced a little as he was cut by the blade of wind, quickly going back to smirking.
: "This seems a more adequate challenge. I think I can still keep going for one more turn." he then noticed Seuche was still carrying only the club: "Captain, also wield the sword I gave you."

Apply the hammer to the Shogun's right foot.

[Dwarmin]

"Those of us who can should charge forward! Push him back! Otherwise he will strike us all down at once!" Sadie said to the others.

Action: Charge Forward and Club attack!
