Continue circling at a safe distance with Frisk.
"Dammit..."
>ACT>
>SOLANGRE>
DECIEVE
Give him an offer he can't refuse...
Wario points at Anna, face red with rage. "You robber! That monkey is mine!" He tries to snatch the idol. Again.
Bastion would begin to engage the Kolinquo Guards, aiming to distract them from the main group by knocking as many of them unconscious as he could in close combat.
Logan takes this opportunity to retrieve the Flask of Estus she always kept so near and drink from it.
Anna continues captchaloguing the monkey.
Spying the blue ape-god off of the stairs, the dragon-thing having butted it off, Mega raised her knife, took a couple of running steps, and leapt off of the building, shifting into a hammger grip and aiming her knife downwarda in an attempt to use the fall to deal serious damage to the thing and transfer the energy of her falling.
Mega attempts to make a rather acrobatic attack on Solangre, executing a jumping attack from the stairs.
Not satisfied with an Insta-Charge, Garuga lets out an earpiercing shriek before charging up to Solangre and trying to Beak Slam him into submission.
"Now It should be Impossible to Miss!"
Full 6 magic missiles Point blank Range, To the Face.
"Discordant. Good." Amplify the anger and fear, seed feelings of oppression and hate towards the Priesthood within the crowd. How Dare They? In more receptive, charismatic minds, leave the quiet thoughts of Revolution. Riot. Revolt. Seed an urge within the crowd as a whole to approach the temple.
H.E.F.A. defiantly flies right in front of Solangre while she still has her shield on.
"YOU HYPOCRITE. YOU CONSIDER HIDING BEHIND FOLLOWERS COWARDLY, BUT YOUR OWN STILL ASSIST YOU."
The End attempts once more to place a Mark of the End on Solangre.
Samson pauses as he looks down at the new hole in him. Red runes light up along his skin as he rips off his jacket and turns to the spearman.
He targets the spearman with a savage blow to the gonads.
Continue opening fire on Solangre until I run out of kill shots.
Twilight breathes heavily, before eyeing the electric prod currently held in her magic. She sends the barb into Solangre multiple times, striking areas like the legs and the open head wound.
"Feel the power of Ulibossk, the master mindflayer and tremble!"
Ulibossk orders the salamander rider to protect Bastion, and attack anyone that attacks him. He orders the thrall to fire at the spearman who stabbed Bastion. He then casts mindflay on Solangre. (Rhyme?)
Charlotte keeps the Tootalin hovering at a level high enough to stay out of the fighting, the brawl continually taking up more and more ground below.
When PERSUASION fails, Frisk turns to alternative methods at stopping the fight. Now Frisk ACTS to DECEIVE Solangre, yelling at the God, [5 vs. 3] and giving him an ultimatum, either put down his weapons and tell his people to cease combat or they'll be forced to end him. He roars back at Frisk,
"I don't need your pity!" Although Frisk is still unable to pierce into Solangre's SOUL, this at least opens up opportunity for dialogue as it appears that Solangre is paying attention to them now.
Cornpanion interjects some advice, "What if we try to inspire him with a
kernel of goodwill?"
Wario interprets Anna's captchaloging as an effort of taking his prize,
"You robber! That monkey is mine!" Wario is still keen on confronting Solangre, specifically the Golden Monkey, and leaves Anna alone for the time being. [10 vs. 1] He rushes at Solangre, and before the Ape-God can realize what's going on, Wario rips the Golden Monkey Idol off of his chest, snapping the leather straps and leaving them dangling uselessly from his body while the artifact grows brightly above Wario's head. If Solangre wasn't previously enraged, he was by now;
"GIVE THAT BACK!" The Sun God dives at Wario, lunging for his stolen treasure with both hands. Wario avoids the attack by jumping upwards, leaving Solangre grasping at air and hitting the dirt. [3+2] Wario tucks the idol under one arm and his free arm comes down, fist smashing against Solangre's already damaged skull. The attack widens the crack in Solangre's head, the stream of blood pouring forth from it now widens. Solangre yells in pain, stunned momentarily and giving Wario enough time to scamper away.
Microgame Winner: Wario! The timely announcement nets Wario a brand new Looting Sack!
Bastion switches to an offensive objective and charges at the Kolinquo Guards, beginning to engage in all the forms of hand-to-hand combat that he has stored in his memory. [7+1 vs. 4] Bastion swings at a guard and knocks him off of his feet, the spear dropping from his hands and his unconscious body hitting the ground, Bastion's cybernetic enhancements clearly putting in work. Bastion continues swinging at the flank of guards who have failed to notice his sudden arrival into the center of the fray, dropping more than a handful of them before he's identified as a threat.
Logan limps away from the epicenter of the fighting and pulls out her Estus Flask, a glass vial containing a golden substance. Logan presses the flask to her lips and the substance escapes from it to within her, slightly reinvigorating the knight and reducing the severity of his knee wound from a dislocation to merely a strain. Now it is not constantly painful and she can use it, but it would not be wise to perform any intense jumps or kicks that require that knee.
Anna continues to captchalog Solangre capturing...something. His soul? Essence? Visage? Who knows, the art of captchaloguing is ancient and mysterious, it's true nature unknown to anybody. I think. [Captchalouging: 2] She captchalog's an image of Solangre's toe, could this piece of information serve as the turning point in this battle?
Once Solangre is forcibly ousted off of his Temple and onto the ground, courtesy of Yian Garuga, Mega springs into action. As Solangre busies himself with fighting her teammates, Mega pulls out her Kerambit knife and takes off running down the steps. When she gauges that she is close enough, she takes a flying leap, [Acrobatics: 8+2] and lands right atop of Solangre. [3+2(Surprise Attack!) vs. 7+2] As the fighter prepares to slash her blade into Solangre's exposed skull, the Ape-God reflexively and violently thrashes his head, forcing Mega to backflip onto the ground.
Yian Garuga screeches at the top of its lung, emitting a cry that resonates in the air above the fighting. It rushes down the steps, eager to literally get a piece of Solangre. Like Mega, it runs down the steps and leaps off, though it doesn't have the same type of vertical capabilities as the nimble Indonesian, but the force of it hitting the ground is enough to cause everyone nearby to become momentarily unsteady. It slams its massive beak at the Sun God, [5+1 vs. 4+2] its first attempt at doing so met with failure as the agile Solangre dodges to the side while Garuga pierces the dirt. It pulls its head back and repeats the technique, [2+1 vs. 7+2] and Solangre rolls around the beak attack, [2 vs. 9] and makes an inaccurate punch into Garuga's jaw which fails to do any damage.
Zingleborg runs at Solangre, firing off magic missiles from his staff like it was a black market handgun and he was in early 1990's Compton. [7 vs. 10] The first careens off to the right and hits the Temple, [9 vs. 6] the second slamming into Solangre's abdomen like a well placed jab, [2 vs. 9] the third goes awry and ricochets off the ground towards Wario [8] who manages to duck under the missile as it sails into the sky. The fourth, [8 vs. 1] hits the already winded Solangre across the jaw, smashing into it as if it were a sledgehammer and doing a comparable amount of damage, unhinging the bone and causing Solangre to spit a chunk of effluvia out of his mouth. [5 vs. 8] The fifth flies past Solangre and into the distance, eventually dissipating. [10 vs. 8] The final magical missile hits Solangre with a powerful bludgeoning effect.
The Crystal Elemental chucks the displaced altar into the swarm of Kolinquo Guards below. [2 vs. 4] The dispersement of the guard's formation coupled with the low depth perception of the elemental end with the result of the altar hitting the ground with a massive impact so powerful that it actually breaks apart into rubble, yet failing to hit anyone. It does capture the attention of the Kolinquos that there is yet another hostile entity in the fight.
"Discordant. Good." Vi is pleased with the ongoing pandemonium in the crowd. The fox spirit begins to amplify notions concerning rage and indignation. [Emotional Manipulation: 10+2(High-Emotions Environment)] The crowd needs no more than a nudge for things to begin to spiral out of control and order. The resentment of the crowd is palpable, and is the screaming and angry, flying spittle. [5] The crowd begins to move in every direction, and the corporal form of Vi is jostled and shoved around, not able to keep her feet on the ground at all times but still able to remain upright. She can feel that this unchecked rage is going to be dispersed in all directions, among all targets, for better or worse.
H.E.F.A., her shield still active, flies directly in front of Solangre's face as if to issue him a defiant challenge. Solangre looks at her, bleeding continuously from two major head wounds, looking far less invulnerable than he did before the fight began. The Blood God vocalizes that comes across as something between a laugh and a groan, before he turns away from her, no longer interested in proving that he is the one in control of her "domain".
"YOU HYPOCRITE. YOU CONSIDER HIDING BEHIND FOLLOWERS COWARDLY, BUT YOUR OWN STILL ASSIST YOU." The End continues to slather Solangre's esteem and prestige, and this time there is no rebuttal, likely the result of the Ape-Cat's trauma. The End casts a third Mark of the End on Solangre, [8 vs. 1] and attaches it to him perfectly, enveloping him in the final level of the curse, which so far has had little impact. (Perhaps Solangre has some sort of immunity?)
Samson looks down at his torso and finds a sizable hole where one used to not exist. Red runes begin to glow upon his body as he faces the Kolinquo Spearman, ripping off his jacket and exposing the upper half of his bodice to the world. [2+1 vs. 4] Samson performs a down-ward straight punch at the spearman, aiming right between his legs, and the Kolinquo leaps backwards out of range, landing in a combat stance with his spear still trained on Samson, whom is still actively bleeding.
Nixil continues to empty out the remaining lethal ammunition in his Shredder into Solangre. [6 vs. 9] Solangre gets down on all fours as several energy-based shots fly over him and hit the Temple, blasting apart chunks of stone.
Twilight Sparkle yanks the Electrical Spear out of the backside of the salamander. [8+3 vs. 2] She does so with ease, the weapon still sizzling with energy, tip coated in reptilian blood; the lizard slithers away. With the spear now in her control, Twilight Sparkle sends it on a downwards trajectory at Solangre, aiming for his skull wound or his legs, whichever present themselves as a more opportune area. [1+3-1(Long Range) vs. 9+2] Solangre spies the spear out of the corner of his eye and rolls horizontally to avoid it as it goes straight into the ground. Before Twilight can pull it back, Solangre grabs the shaft of the spear with his left hand and tugs it away, raw giant-ape strength outperforming Alicorn telekinesis; Twilight's magical aura around the spear disappears.
Ulibossk orders the Salamander Rider to protect Bastion. The newest thrall mindlessly obeys by walking off the open-ceiling structure and falling ten feet onto the floor where he stays in an unconscious, prone position. The mindflayer commands the Archer to fire upon the spearman that attacked Bastion, despite no such event having occurred. Instead, the thrall begins to fire indiscriminately into the spear-wielding guards that Bastion was currently facing off against. [10 vs. 1] The Archer empties his twelve arrow quiver into the guards with seamless succession between shots that all seem to land directly in throats, skulls or hearts.
As Bastion's fists make their way through the crowd of Kolinquo Guards, the soldiers begin to fight back. [5 vs. 6+2] The A.I. perceives the most dangerous attacks and weaves around them, ducking and juking, while Bastion's mechanical chassis absorbs and deflects everything else.
An detachment of guards take note of Zingleborg as a major threat and begin to form a circular formation around The Mage. [5 vs. 10] Once again, the old man(?) proves he's still got it, his robes shifting to and fro as he dodges obsidian swords and spears alike. [3 vs. 9] He attempts to fight back by improvising his staff as a melee weapon, and serves more of a nuisance to the guards than an actual threat, keeping them at bay rather than hitting him.
Another detachment identifies Yian Garuga as a problem as giant dragons tend to be. [10 vs. 4] The detachment, composed of archers, fires a volley of arrows at Garuga, most of them hitting their target. The arrows to Garuga's torso bounce off of the armor like protective exo-skeletal structures, though one lucky arrow hits the dragon in the side of the neck, creating a pretty serious wound.
Samson's newest rival continues to try and further disembowel the beserker. [7 vs. 10+2] Samson doesn't move back to dodge, rather he moves towards the spearman and pivots his body to avoid the thrust. [6+2 vs. 5] With little distance between them, Samson hits the Kolinquo with a swift diagonal uppercut, sending the guard to the ground and causing him to lose his grip on the spear.
Nixil is also made a target of the Kolinquo Guards' new effort to take out Cazadores that pose the largest threat to Solangre. [8 vs. 3] Several Kolinquo charge Nixil, who in turn responds by firing the shredder at them, forcing them to retreat. One brave swordsman is not deterred by the lasers, and just as the Andalite prepares to blow his head off with a well placed point-blank shot, the Kolinquo lunges with his blade and jams the obsidian straight into Nixil's upper torso. The Kolinquo removes the blade and circles around Nixil who's chest is becoming stained with whatever color Andalite blood happens to be.
Solangre chases after Wario, utterly ignoring the other Cazadores in the area, the electric spear hoisted up like a hunter closing in on a prized wild boar.
"THAT BELONGS TO ME!" [1+2 vs. 9] Solangre sloppily thrusts at Wario, who takes a page from his Super Smash Brothers day and rolls out of the way, ending up on Solangre's blindside. [1+2 vs. 10] Wario delivers a powerful wind-up swing with his right hand! It misses completely and sends Wario stumbling away.
[4+2 vs. 5] Solangre stabs at Wario again, the chubby charlatan dances away, though the electric barbs skim his stomach, giving him something close to an amplified static shock.
[6+2 vs. 7] Solangre attacks and ends up with the same result, and Wario runs off most likely crying about enduring constant shocks. Solangre grits his teeth and tails Wario but stops after only a few feet. He takes a knee and coughs up a large volume of blood on the ground, turning the hazel dirt beneath him a crimson color. The Sun God steadily rises to his feet, wiping the blood from his face.
The onlooking Kolinquo citizens quickly form into two mobs, the larger of which runs back towards the capital while the smaller, but still numbering in the hundreds, contingency runs forth towards the fighting at the foot of the temple with reckless abandon.
