[Xanmyral]

Fezzina moved to (8,2) and ZOT(t?)ed the king.

"Was it worth it?" Fezzina merely said coldly.

[Furtuka]

stay put

[freeformschooler]

The castle goes dark, but fireflies trail from Fezzina's tome, spinning around behind her. She slowly raises her hand, a wind blows her robe, and -- ZOT! Lights become lances to lacerate the King. Vernon grunts, raises his demon claw, and pulls the darkness from the castle into one pitch-black lance. Fezzina steps out of the way, and fires another volley. The King bends back and roars.

"It isn't worth it if you have to sacrifice your friends to do it! What's the good of power if you wind up alone, huh?"

[Xanmyral]

"Power for what cause? A world for whom?" The woman sniffed in retort, as a firefly drifted drifted on an outstretched finger of hers, soon dimming and vanishing as the surged power dwindles.

"You've given up everything for your goal, without remembering why those were your goals in the first place, haven't you?" There was no malice in her voice, no fire, no hatred. Only pity.

[scapheap]

Move to 9,5

[CrimsonEon]

Alyssa to 9,4. Buff Miguella and Sakura.
: "Give 'em hell!"

[freeformschooler]

Miguella and Sakura feel renewed!

[birdy51]

: "WHOOO!! That's a good tune! Sakura darling, you go ahead. I'll back you up if you need it, but I'm too old to be trying to attack nightmare monstrosities."

[scapheap]

Move to 5,5 and worm the boss
:"Take this."

[birdy51]

Ride!!! to 5,6 if Sakura is downed and needs revived. Apply Vulnerary directly to his forehead. If not, Wait.

The black worm slides into Vernon, and Sakura floats away from his lance.

ENEMY TURN

: "Power for... hm..."

Vernon stops and thinks about Fezzina's question. Yes, even hideous demons think.

: "That's right. Now I remember. I could have gone to any world in all of Creation, but I chose the world of dreams. The demon crossed his eyes. Had no one else thought the enter the dream world? A world with NO consequences. I could create and destroy as God. Poison rivers? LET THERE BE. Revive my wife? Give it a day, and I'd have the power.

YOU come here to take that power away. You want to destroy every trace of my reign in every world. I thought you'd come and go as dreamers slept, but you seem to have souls as your own, a desire and will to match even ours. No mere dream is that strong. Who created you? Who is sustaining you, and how? I'll destroy you one by one until I find them, and you all disappear. POOF!"

Vernon flies to Sheldon and forms an axe. Leona gasps, but her foe blocks the path to Sheldon. The axe falls, and Sheldon's shirt tears open, blood pouring out. He stays his grip, and a new strength flows from the axe to his arm, and from his arm to his soul. The world slows and quiets, his arm moving on its own.

Hit: 95+15-4 = 106, autohit
Damage: 23+1-5 = 19

Sheldon retaliates!
Hit: 72-15-24 = 33
Hit roll: 27, hit
Crit roll: 6, crit
Damage: (31-1-8)*3 = 66!!!

Black bile spills from two halves of Nightmare Vernon, and the terrain-changing wave spreads from the toxic pool to the floor under Sheldon's friends. He wants to yell, tell them to get away, away from Nightmare's world-warping wave.

Yet...

The wave passes, and Sheldon shields his eyes. Something shines bright, too bright. It's the Sun. He lowers his hand and sees his friends standing around a grassy field, the toxic pools swallowed by fresh, flowing water. Did that axe... do that?

Sheldon looks down and sees dirt on the axe's handle. He rubs it off, and the full inscription is revealed:

"Nightmare-catcher
Though demons perished in our world
they still haunt our sleep
let this be their restful grave
so man may soundly dream
-Elder Fairy, Natasia"

~Mission complete!~

Candy hops and skips over to the team.

: "Hey, you did it! Sorry, I was stuck over there. Thanks, green hair axe guy. Leo, he looks a little hurt. Maybe you should tend to him?"

[SeriousConcentrate]

"Sheldon!"

Leona wasn't even paying attention to Candy; she immediately ran over to her friend and started to heal his wounds as soon as the world calmed down from the sudden transformation.

[Blade Master Model 42]

"That... Was pretty awesome." Sheldon pumps a fist into the air, but his triumphant grin turns into a mask of pain as he yanks his arm back down. "Guh- Okay, that hurt a lot."

As Leona's healing magic sealed his wound, Sheldon wrapped an arm around the priestess's waist. "Hey, we did it, huh?"

[CrimsonEon]

The sound of clapping echoed from further down the field, along with an excited whistle or two.
: "Whoo! Way to stick it to 'em, ya salty pervert!" Alyssa's voice echoed from further away as she was running towards the group, "'Mere Dream' my arse!"
