"Murder ish nev'r a good idea."
"Better than doing nothing all day."
Bismuth tries again, laughing right back.
[53(!) vs. 48] Hit! Bismuth somehow manages to grab Nimue before she can get away. She struggles and tries to claw at Bismuth's face.
"Release me at once you boor!"Hainuwele does what she wanted to do last turn, curse geographical discrepancy.
[52 vs. 47 - 20] Hit! Hainuwele immediately runs over to Bismuth, and pricks Nimue with her needle. Nimue immediately freezes up, paralyzed. Though not for very long...
ICARUS gives Nimue another shot, this time only 40 Mana to boost the aim, and 40 to boost the damage. After just barely dodging the lightning last time, ICARUS keeps 25 Mana ready to fire up her shield in case she is unable to dodge, and then whatever is leftover to retreat, should that become necessary. God damn her fighting style is mana intensive...This shot better bring it home for us...
[AUTO] Hit! 48 The mana spent on overdrive is largely wasted, as Nimue can't dodge right now. Still, ICARUS blasts the heck out of her with her particle cannon.
Lucas glares at The 9 Figures, and proceeds to blast them all. MIND BARRAGE -25 Mana.
[TOO MANY ROLLS] 9 Hits! 23 damage each! Lucas blasts the figure with his mind, doing a good chunk of damage to each of them. They yell in pain, but keep coming.
Catherine, on the other hand, chuckles a bit, and follows suit by attempting to FREEZE THE FIGURES IN PLACE.
[MAG: 15] Catherine manages to only freeze three of the figures with her magic.
Sen summons her Diviner's Lore and attempts to learn about this fog.
[MAG: 92 + whatever] Sen learns that is is obviously a magical fog, that is enchanted to cause anyone who breathes it in to fall asleep, unless they can resist is effects. It also subtly alters sounds and light, confusing anyone who tries to navigate through it. Additionally, and most importantly, it also acts like a magical battery or conduit, enhancing the powers of Numie while she's in it, along with the figures.
Tobias summons minor shadows! A couple defend ICARUS once they're spawned.
[MAG: 23] Tobias summons... Exactly four lesser shadows. They are certain to be a big help. Yay.
Bethany backs the fuck up and holds her side.
"F-Fuck you!"
She then slashes at Niume with the knife again.
[AUTO] Hit! 42 damage! With Nimue paralyzed and held by Bismuth, Bethany easily slashes the sorceress with her knife.
Stomp
[24 vs. 21] Hit! 106 damage! Neferis... makes the GM confused as to why she keeps on hitting the figures. Maybe she'll manage to miss next turn.
Attack?
[30 vs. 37] [34 vs. 27 - 10] [23 vs. 43 - 20] [AUTO] [AUTO] 3 Hits! 24 + 0 + 40(!) damage! All the figures who can fight gang-up on Bismuth, slashing at her as they try to free their mistress. They largely fail.
Marie (the one in combat) swears she'll fill him with holes THIS time. >:C
[33 vs. 39] Miss! Marie's swears go unfulfilled, as the figure somehow manages to dodge her shots. Again. This is what, the third time in a row now? Geeze...
Blossom... screw it, does it again, with MORE CHAINS THIS TIME!
[33 vs. 45 - 10] Miss! Blossom... rolls really terribly, causing her chained axes to get entangled with each other and allowing the bulky figure to dodge her attack.
Slash Blossom!
[49 vs. 41] Hit! 70 The man rolls much better than Blossom, and slashes her in the chest with his sword, inflicting a grievous wound. He chuckles and rolls his head, taunting the pair.
