School House Rumble, Part 1: Arcadia, school of Old

[Vakanai]

"I suppose I could try..." Hunter said, feeling a little nervous. He had never tried to contact a demon in a book before.

Hunter took the glowing book out of his pack. It almost burned in his hands. He slowly, tentatively sent his thoughts into the book...and was sucked into some strange dimensional plane...
"Took you long enough," a demon cowboy said, a wicked grin spreading across his face. Hunter stared at the demon, who looked like:
http://tvmedia.ign.com/tv/image/article/720/720118/afrosamurai-justice_1153489417-000.jpg
"What do you want? To possess me?"
"No," the devil replied. "Not to own, not to control, not to take and not to mold." The devil walked closer to Hunter. "I want more from you than simple possession or any other trick. I desire only to corrupt you."
"Corrupt me?" Hunter said, worried and freaking out.
"You will be my legacy. There aren't many of us Triumvirates you know," the demon said, holding up his own sentient spell guns. "Triumvirate, Three in One, the demon kings. In fact enough time has passed that I may be the only one. And I am dying. Even a devil as great as I has to die sometime, and I'll be trice damned if I'm going to be the last!"
"I don't understand," Hunter said, trying to back up but running into a wall.
"You should, I've been preparing you to take my place, for almost a decade now. Sick in bed, battered and bruised cause of your own frail body, wishing for any life except this, any path except sickness and death. And I heard you, I accepted your pleas. The path I offered was the path of Kings! And your soul accepted. Now it is time, my son, my heir, my young demon, for you to take that path..." the devil said before fading away like mist, dying at last in peace.
Hunter felt pain, his body was hot, feverishly hot. His breaths were ragged. Then it felt as though his soul exploded. He fell to his knees crying, back in the world of humans...a world he now no longer belonged in...

OOC: Sorry I'm late. What did I miss? :confused:

[Gladiaria_Alata]

OOC: Sorry I'm late. What did I miss? :confused:

OOC: I was wondering that too.

It only picks up when I'm sleeping! *cries*

[Vakanai]

OOC: I was wondering that too.

It only picks up when I'm sleeping! *cries*

OOC: They're in a forest, looking for a temple, the forest is alive and not freindly, some people are arguing over leadership, Henry passed out after a mad tirade, and Hunter is no longer human.

[Silver Knight]

OOC: Im back, and GrandpaGen, mostly good job handling Kekowa. Next time i'd prefer if you'd tone down the jerkiness but overall nice job. Also I think you got the brothers mixed up. I think you ment to say to Sirus the older brother, what you said to Henry the younger. At least that would make more sense, I would try to console henry and not make him mad. Is their anyway we can retcon that?

[Gladiaria_Alata]

OOC: They're in a forest, looking for a temple, the forest is alive and not freindly, some people are arguing over leadership, Henry passed out after a mad tirade, and Hunter is no longer human.

Ah thank you muchly.

[Chou Blaster]

(Back! Damn a lot has happened, Though Henry's a jerk so he desire sit, in my opinion, but oh well.)


: And so it was Daichi, asborbing all tha thas happened and he thoguht to himself.:


Damn, that is a niffity ability Hutne rhas there, yet I got the feeling I am going to ge tthe pay back for being possessed. Still, evne if we exocrize the demons from Henry, I still say we knock him th **** out. Becase I could not stand what that litle **** was talking about. Though I am proud of how everyone els ehas carried on so far. So I guess i will admit this.


" I was right to put faith into you guys, and I tihnk we can do this. Hunter, I trust you to fight off he demons within Henry, then with Selma, we can get going.. Rock on man."

[Ghost]

Also, opinion time:

How's the pacing so far?

I wish it wouldn't be so fast. A lot of us get left behind when the story really gets going. Keeping a slower pace would be nice.

The story?

Going great.

The setting?

Above expectation.

Anything else?

Not right now, no.

[The Dog]

Peter was tempted to smile, and tried not to, but he couldn't contain a slight twitch of his lips. He helped Selma to her feet, "No problem."

OOC: G'night!

"Thank you Peter." Selma muttered as she was helped to her feet. As soon as she was standing, she placed her arms around his neck in an appreciative hug.

OOC: Damn, you did that fast...I was expecting this to happen at least 2 powerups later...I'm not sure how my character is going to take this. Guess it will depend on how the new Hunter turns out.

BTC:
Hmm, this could be bad.

Hunter had fallen to his knees. Was mere communication with the demon enough to overwhelm him? He wasn't that weak! Yet he was displaying all the signs of great uoheavel in his soul...and the book was reacting strangely.

The thing most needed was human contact. So much fear and despair can be eliminated by simple warm hug,

Sorry Nat, but me doing this would be kind of gay.

He draped the tranced Natalie over his kneeling form. Then he squatted in front of him.

"Welcome back Hunter. We screwed up somehow didn't we? What happened?"

I never expected him to lose this quickly...what could the demon have done? I'm gonna get as much of you back as I can, whatever it takes. Even if it means joining Henry into digging into the furtherst corners of your mind...

[Ghost]

OOC: Okay, seriously; what is going on? oO

[FalconX2000]

Its not Clerics' fault the RPG expands at the rate it does. We're all so busy RPing, and we end up creating side stories within the main one. Kekowa and I vying for leadership and Hunters' recent contact with his demon book going awry are just some examples of this. So it kinda explodes once we all got a good feel to run with.

OOC: Okay, seriously; what is going on? oO

I posed a summary on page 133. Its still mostly relevant and only 1 page of real story has been written since then, which I'm sure you can read conventionally.

[sharkerbob]

OOC: Okay, seriously; what is going on? oO

Hell, everytime I log on, another 10, 20, to 30 pages have already gone by. This is why I'm just waiting for the missions, cuz its the only thing I'll have time to work on.

Heh. I'm not sure if should be insulted or relieved my own mission based RPs never take off like this...

OOC: I don't mind the expansion per se, and the side stories I'm okay with. I just wish that most of the actual storyline and storyline-related action wouldn't consistently advance at such an elevated rate when I'm not available. :(

I mean, it's not like I'm tied up with real life business or anything; In fact, I go out of my way to be online practically 24/7 just to be able to participate with this RPG as much as possible, but I still need to sleep. I realize it's generally not possible for me and Cleric to be active at the same time all the time, but a slower pace would help, and it's not like we're in a rush to finish this or anything.

Blast it, it's Xelloes's fault for convincing Hunter to go demon in the first place. The logical thing to do is leave, take Henry with us as far as possible to the shrine, have Sirus gaurd him while we go in, and then grab him before we get transported out. But thats a little too cold-blooded even for me, especially with this crowd. Like Xellos said these arnt street punks these are fighters, comrades in arms, warriors like me.

Kekowa noticed Xellos concern It seems genuine, however it could be his plan did not go his way. Either way I shall swallow my pride for now. He walked over to hunter and Xellos

"Is their anything I can do, this is partly my fault."

Don't worry about it, man. Once we hit Xanadu and the Shrine, things should slow down a bit due to traps and challenges that magic, ki, and psychic energy can't solve.

You all better get your thinking caps on for this!:D :evilsmile

The most active time of this thread starts about 6 hours from now and carries on for about 6 hours or less depending on how much RP we do. I actually do alot of RPing while I work. I got a job with some slack in a conscript 2 year service.

And this thread was fascinating enough for me to wake up at 4am in my country to continue RPing (which was about an hour ago in my country). Since I've discovered it just tends to move a page or 2 during this time though, I think I'll stop interrupting my sleep for it (I slept earlier last night to compensate, so I'm not actually losing sleep time).

However, I hope we're not given some complicated mathematical problems or something...

This brings up an interesting point:

Would some people prefer to there to be two RP threads? One for side-stories and general RPing between main events, while the main thread is based around the main events? This way those of us who want to participate in the main story don't get totally lost in the massive amount of side-RPing. Its a lot to catch up on, and can make it difficult to backtrack to try and figure out whose where, what, when, and what's relevant to the main story or just on the side.

Yeah, unfortunately, that is exactly when my job has me working, so I only get to come on the tail end of the RPing, when mostof the posters are packing in for the night.

Alot of the feel would be kicked out of it.:( Its like a Harley Davidson, its just not the same if you swap engines with a Honda and then ride one or the other each day.

OOC: That's not my point. The point is, if this trend continues I probably won't be around by the time we hit Xanadu, which means Rhia won't even be active enough to get stuck in any traps or participate in the challenges to begin with. :(

As a comparisson, where I live "normal" people get to bed right around now. And in order to participate in this thread as much as I'd like, I'd need to go to bed sometime after lunchtime and wake up in the middle of the night.
That's not to say I couldn't do this, but, well... >>

Hell no! For the most part, the side stories are the only thing slowing this baby down enough for me to hang on. Hell, the brunt of ALL my activity in this thread has been bleeding side-story stuff!

Hunter felt pain, his body was hot, feverishly hot. His breaths were ragged. Then it felt as though his soul exploded. He fell to his knees crying, back in the world of humans...a world he now no longer belonged in...
Ramon was experiencing a feeling that he had rarely felt in a long time. Fury. A friggin’ vine grabbed him by his ankles and actually threw him into the air. Thank god he had friends who actually saved him. But now, now he was done being the passive/assertive wallflower-like person. Taking off his necklace, Ramon conjured up his sword. He looked over at Hunter who he saw writhing in pain. He dashes over to him.

“I have an idea. I can seal your magic for three days. I figure by then we’ll get out of here and Jericho could get you fixed. I figure if your magic is severed for a bit, than you can at least function here.”

Hunter closed his eyes as steam developed in his tearducts. Demons didn't cry. His mind felt shattered, his body heaved, his bones ached, and then...the pain was gone, just as quickly as it had come on, it had departed. The Tome of Uncreation caught fire and burned away til not even ash remained. It's work was done, it had uncreated a man, and built up a demon.
Hunter slowly got to his feet. He blinked a couple of times, then walked towards the fallen pyschic. He held Henry's head in his hands, and with a red surge of power that flowed through his body and into Henry Hunter blasted the strange demon out of his fellow student.
The demon scrambled around strangely, wandering where it was and what had happened. It was now on the physical plane, in plain veiw of all around.
"Go now, leave us, find another host away from here," Hunter said without even looking at the demon. The demon mouthed the question, 'Triumvirate?' and quickly ran off.

[sharkerbob]

It's just that it also alienates those of us who can't consistantly be here everyday during the times when the core group is present. And time spent going back and reading through 20-30 pages of posts everytime you manage to get back on-line,takes away from actual RPing time for that pster, so for some, there can be a perpetual feeling of catch-up, or end up becoming a repeating cameo, popping into the game at odd intervals, and butting into other peoples stuff.

I'm not saying the others should even have to slow down; hell, I wish I could join in on the fun. It's just that for those of us who can't keep up with the side-stuff, it would be nice if there was a way to focus the story down, or perhaps another thread or something to be able to tackle the main events without getting lost in the side-RPing.



EDIT: Eh, forget I said anything, I guess. Bad suggestion on my part.

I agree. I teach, have a social life, I'm about to get Super Mario Galaxy today, etc. What if we still could do side stories, but not by that much, and create a off topic School House Rumble thread for all of the rest of the blurbs we have and what nots?

Hunter dropped his guns into his holsters. "I'm not sure if you can fix 'demon,' but I'd be willing to try. But this isn't the place and time. These woods move against us and I feel a presence closing in on us. The temple is close."

[Vakanai]

OOC: A thread that simply lists all new plot points and information could be useful. You can check up on the most recent devlopements and jump back into the RP.

OOC: Actually, I was just about to suggest something similar: if a poster or two could use the original sign-up thread to regularly update events to bring other posters to speed, this could ease alot of "Catch-up" issues for the rest of us.

Oh, and sorry if I'm just further cluttering things up with my whining... just trying to help out.

Or you could take many micro naps in between posts to keep your energy up...
Or something...

OOC: I dunno. I can't speak for you guys, but my problem isn't keeping myself updated on what's happening: it's the fact that I'm missing out on it.

OOC: Well, my problem is both... I'm missing out and I have a hard time keeping myself up to date.

OKay, you know what, that said, I'm just gunna drop out, since most of the fun of RPing is RPing with people, and I'm just not able to do that as consistantly as I need to in order to really be a part of an RP this active. Thanks for the opportunity anyway, Cleric.

So, you all can NPC Django if you like, if one of your characters needs a sidekick/friend/pet. Or Cleric can make him a teacher in disguise.

OOC: Sad to see you go, I liked Django. :(

It's too late for me to drop out, though. I've already invested way too much in this, so I'll have to see it through to the end.

[GrampaGen]

OOC: maybe we should bump up the discussion thread?

[Ghost]

OOC: maybe we should bump up the discussion thread?

OOC: I'd rather we just continue with the plot.

[Eternal Torment]

Alexia started to wonder. "Rhia, can you ask the others why there are demons in this sentient forest?"

[GrampaGen]

Don't worry about it, man. Once we hit Xanadu and the Shrine, things should slow down a bit due to traps and challenges that magic, ki, and psychic energy can't solve.

You all better get your thinking caps on for this!:D :evilsmile

OOC: damn, why did I put my intelligence stat to 3? The characters are only as smart as their authors, D'OH!!!

Natalie stood up from where Xellos had left her, still shaken from the visage of the Rage Demon that was trapped in Henry's mind. There was a strange essence in the air of the living forest, as though a vacuum had grown in the shroud of life energy that radiated from it.

Then, she saw a devil manifest in the corporeal realm, something that should never happen naturally. It was extradimensional summoning. The only one who could have done that was...

"...Hunter?

Alexia started to wonder. "Rhia, can you ask the others why there are demons in this sentient forest?"

"That's a good question," Rhia said. "What's up with all these demons, anyway?"


Natalie stood up from where Xellos had left her, still shaken from the visage of the Rage Demon that was trapped in Henry's mind. There was a strange essence in the air of the living forest, as though a vacuum had grown in the shroud of life energy that radiated from it.

Then, she saw a devil manifest in the corporeal realm, something that should never happen naturally. It was extradimensional summoning. The only one who could have done that was...

"...Hunter?

"Hey, Natalie," Rhia said, approaching the other girl. "Do you have any idea what all these demons are..." She paused, noticing Natalie's expression. "Okay, now what?"

[Vakanai]

OOC: damn, why did I put my intelligence stat to 3? The characters are only as smart as their authors, D'OH!!!

"...Hunter?

Hunter glanced her way. "I got the demon out of Henry," he said, then turned his face away from her staring eyes.

[Ghost]

Hunter glanced her way. "I got the demon out of Henry," he said, then turned his face away from her staring eyes.

OOC: So, wait. Has Hunter actually turned into a demon?

[Eternal Torment]

OOC: You'd think that Alexia, being the most emotionally damaged out of this group, would be targeted by all of the demons. Maybe her 3rd personality is so terrifyingly insane that they don't want to mess with her.

[Vakanai]

OOC: So, wait. Has Hunter actually turned into a demon?

OOC: Yes, but he still looks just the same.

[Ghost]

OOC: You'd think that Alexia, being the most emotionally damaged out of this group, would be targeted by all of the demons. Maybe her 3rd personality is so terrifyingly insane that they don't want to mess with her.

OOC: Well, her mental issues does double as a mind-shield. Plus, right now she has an actual psychic seal, so that might help.

OOC: Well, Hunter did bring his demon with him in book form or whatever. Don't know about Henry other than anger attracts demons.

[Ghost]

OOC: Yes, but he still looks just the same.

OOC: Great.

Hunter glanced her way. "I got the demon out of Henry," he said, then turned his face away from her staring eyes.

"Well, that's good," Rhia said, feeling slightly uncertain about this whole situation. "...Right?"

[Eternal Torment]

OOC: Well, her mental issues does double as a mind-shield. Plus, right now she has an actual psychic seal, so that might help.

OOC: I could just imagine Henry trying to read her mind and getting a face full of mind-numbingly horrible images.

[Eternal Torment]

"Well, that's good," Rhia said, feeling slightly uncertain about this whole situation. "...Right?"

"Rhia...ask him where the demon went."

[GrampaGen]

Hunter glanced her way. "I got the demon out of Henry," he said, then turned his face away from her staring eyes.

She bit her lip to hide the discomfort, for fear of the fearsome new power that now dwelt within him. As much as he looked the same and his heart was the same, Natalie could not help but feeling absolutely helpless; as if it was her failure to even match the power of the demon was what pushed Hunter to embrace the Tome in full.

"J...ja, he will be fine now," she faked a smile,"Henry is safe."

But why did you have to do that?

She remained a fair distance behind Hunter as the group continued chasing the seemingly endless trail of red flowers on the treebark.

[Vakanai]

"Well, that's good," Rhia said, feeling slightly uncertain about this whole situation. "...Right?"

Hunter didn't answer. He couldn't hide it forever, there were pyschics and mages here. Someone would see his energy signature or astral signature or any of the other million things that was different with him now, then they'd know. He didn't have to tell them.

[Gladiaria_Alata]

Hunter didn't answer. He couldn't hide it forever, there were pyschics and mages here. Someone would see his energy signature or astral signature or any of the other million things that was different with him now, then they'd know. He didn't have to tell them.

Kagura regarded Hunter grimly.

[GrampaGen]

"That's a good question," Rhia said. "What's up with all these demons, anyway?"



"Hey, Natalie," Rhia said, approaching the other girl. "Do you have any idea what all these demons are..." She paused, noticing Natalie's expression. "Okay, now what?"

It took a while for Rhia's questions to reach her ears, this trial being far heavier on her than when they were simply fighting. Dealing with the arcane and mystic arts was supposed to be Natalie's specialty; why then had she almost lost Selma and inadvertently lead Hunter to play with the powers of a Demon Triumvirate?

"...oh? Demons...," she answered in a monotone,"...the nature of Hunter's Power is from a Dark Old One. But you have to believe, he is still...human."

She sighed before continuing.

"As for this forest, it too is one of the Old Ones. Like a slumbering giant, it rests for now but to disturb it is certainly a path to doom"

[Ghost]

"Rhia...ask him where the demon went."

"Yeah..." Rhia said, still feeling uncertain. "Hey, Hunter? Where did that demon go? It's not still nearby, is it?"

[Ghost]

"That's... good to know," Rhia said. She scratched her head. "I'm not really sure exactly what just happened, to be honest. All this demons and magic stuff is still very new to me."

Then she gave Natalie a concerned look. "You will tell me if there's something worrying you, right?"

[kain5252]

"That's... good to know," Rhia said. She scratched her head. "I'm not really sure exactly what just happened, to be honest. All this demons and magic stuff is still very new to me."

Then she gave Natalie a concerned look. "You will tell me if there's something worrying you, right?"

Justin walking up after finishing taking care of his small injuries. "Hey Rhia, what happen?".

[Vakanai]

"Yeah..." Rhia said`, still feeling uncertain. "Hey, Hunter? Where did that demon go? It's not still nearby, is it?"

"It's gone," Hunter said, not mentioning which demon he meant. Didn't matter, Henry's demon had soon fallen into a pitfall after being sent away, and the old Triumvirate had died after passing off his demon rank to Hunter, the new Triumvirate. He hadn't gained any strength, that would come slowly with time, just like anyone else. But he had lost something important.

[Gladiaria_Alata]

"Yeah..." Rhia said, still feeling uncertain. "Hey, Hunter? Where did that demon go? It's not still nearby, is it?"

"It isn't," responded Kagura with her eyes closed.

OOC: I'm off to bed now.

[GrampaGen]

"That's... good to know," Rhia said. She scratched her head. "I'm not really sure exactly what just happened, to be honest. All this demons and magic stuff is still very new to me."

Then she gave Natalie a concerned look. "You will tell me if there's something worrying you, right?"

"For sure, I have been worried ever since Herr Jericho had sent us to this wood. It is not an unfortunate circumstance or creatures hiding in the shadows, those are things that can be dealt with. But here...the forest itself is sentient. It breaths, feels, grows angry. It is as if it were the still-breathing corpus of gods long forgotten."

This was very heavy, and extremy wearing on her.

"Do you know of Atlantis, Rhia?"

[Ghost]

"It's gone," Hunter said, not mentioning which demon he meant. Didn't matter, Henry's demon had soon fallen into a pitfall after being sent away, and the old Triumvirate had died after passing off his demon rank to Hunter, the new Triumvirate. He hadn't gained any strength, that would come slowly with time, just like anyone else. But he had lost something important.

"Right," Rhia said. "...You okay?"

Justin walking up after finishing taking care of his small injuries. "Hey Rhia, what happen?".

"I'm not sure, actually," Rhia said, frowning slightly.

[Vakanai]

"For sure, I have been worried ever since Herr Jericho had sent us to this wood. It is not an unfortunate circumstance or creatures hiding in the shadows, those are things that can be dealt with. But here...the forest itself is sentient. It breaths, feels, grows angry. It is as if it were the still-breathing corpus of gods long forgotten."

This was very heavy, and extremy wearing on her.

"Do you know of Atlantis, Rhia?"

"I know of Atlantis," Hunter said. "There were many demons here back then..." Hunter stopped. That was something from the demon book that had just combusted.

[Ghost]

This was very heavy, and extremy wearing on her.

"Do you know of Atlantis, Rhia?"

Rhia shrugged. "I've heard the stories, I guess. An island that sunk in the occeans in ages past, taking it's grande civilization with it. This place doesn't seem to have been under water for quite some time, though."

[kain5252]

"I'm not sure, actually," Rhia said, frowning slightly.

"Great, I suppose some more complications have set in then?" Justin said.

[Vakanai]

"Right," Rhia said. "...You okay?"

Hunter shrugged. He didn't really know the answer to that.

[GrampaGen]

Rhia shrugged. "I've heard the stories, I guess. An island that sunk in the occeans in ages past, taking it's grande civilization with it. This place doesn't seem to have been under water for quite some time, though."

Natalie nodded, "When he teleported us here, Herr Jericho mentioned this was the 'forest of Atlantis', and allegedly the trees here were once of that ancient land."



"I know of Atlantis," Hunter said. "There were many demons here back then..." Hunter stopped. That was something from the demon book that had just combusted.

"They say that Atlantis was destroyed because of the madness that happened there, that man's hubris angered the gods so that the very spirits of the water swallowed it whole. But now, I think we know what it really was..."

[Miburohunter929]

"Great, I suppose some more complications have set in then?" Justin said.

"I suppose things were getting too easy" Dean said while contemplating plucking a green apple from a tree.

"I dont know how I didnt see something coming." After a moments pause, he added "Well, I did, but this wasnt quite what I had in mind"

[Vakanai]

Natalie nodded, "When he teleported us here, Herr Jericho mentioned this was the 'forest of Atlantis', and allegedly the trees here were once of that ancient land."




"They say that Atlantis was destroyed because of the madness that happened there, that man's hubris angered the gods so that the very spirits of the water swallowed it whole. But now, I think we know what it really was..."

The last Triumvirate? Hunter thought to himself.

[Ghost]

Natalie nodded, "When he teleported us here, Herr Jericho mentioned this was the 'forest of Atlantis', and allegedly the trees here were once of that ancient land."

"They say that Atlantis was destroyed because of the madness that happened there, that man's hubris angered the gods so that the very spirits of the water swallowed it whole. But now, I think we know what it really was..."

"Well, at least we won't have to worry about hubris," Rhia said. "We're far too awesome for that."

Then she smiled wryly at Natalie. "That was a joke, by the way."

[kain5252]

"I suppose things were getting too easy" Dean said while contemplating plucking a green apple from a tree.

"I dont know how I didnt see something coming." After a moments pause, he added "Well, I did, but this wasnt quite what I had in mind"

"well it wouldnt be fun if it was eay" Justin said then noticed the apple. "I wonder if taking that will piss off the forest again?".

[Miburohunter929]

"well it wouldnt be fun if it was eay" Justin said then noticed the apple. "I wonder if taking that will piss off the forest again?".

"Well, I'd like to think the forest isnt so petty as to declare war over an apple." Dean looked away from the apple. "Then again, it was playing slingshot with Ramus because it seemed like fun."

[kain5252]

"Well, I'd like to think the forest isnt so petty as to declare war over an apple." Dean looked away from the apple. "Then again, it was playing slingshot with Ramus because it seemed like fun."

"And using me as catch ball" Justin said rubbing his chin. "Maybe you should ask it first. It worked for me".

[GrampaGen]

"Well, at least we won't have to worry about hubris," Rhia said. "We're far too awesome for that."

Then she smiled wryly at Natalie. "That was a joke, by the way."

Far too rattled by recent happenstance to laugh, Natalie smiled briefly.

"I know you are just trying to lighten the mood...but the spirits aren't things to trifle with. Perhaps it is their lack of tangibility or perhaps that noone can really see them but even so..."

[Vakanai]

Far too rattled by recent happenstance to laugh, Natalie smiled briefly.

"I know you are just trying to lighten the mood...but the spirits aren't things to trifle with. Perhaps it is their lack of tangibility or perhaps that noone can really see them but even so..."

"So what do you think caused the downfall of Atlantis?" Hunter asked.

[Silver Knight]

"Aye, caramba," Kekowa said wiping his face with his hand "Dean you do realize that the forest is sentient an dthat picking something, even a fruit, could be considered to be hostile?"

I think Ill try to delecate approach

He then turned to Selma and Natalie "Ladies if you please, I think it best if we keep moving. Not giving an order just saying it might be best."

[GrampaGen]

"Aye, caramba," Kekowa said wiping his face with his hand "Dean you do realize that the forest is sentient an dthat picking something, even a fruit, could be considered to be hostile?"

He then turned to Selma and Natalie "Ladies if you please, I think it best if we keep moving. Not giving an order just saying it might be best."

OOC: Actually, we are. We're waiting for Cleric. Though if we can write in some sort of major baddie to pass the time that would be keen

[The Dog]

Far too rattled by recent happenstance to laugh, Natalie smiled briefly.

"I know you are just trying to lighten the mood...but the spirits aren't things to trifle with. Perhaps it is their lack of tangibility or perhaps that noone can really see them but even so..."

"The instructors at school were insane to send us out here alone. Utterly insane." Selma muttered, rubbing her eyes slightly.

Sighing, she walked over to Natalie, gently lifted her up, and set her against her back, using her hands as a seat for her friend as she said "Well, let's hurry up and get that damn Idol and return to school."

As she started walking she continued "But I'm certain the "teachers" are waiting for those of us who survive to return for more punishment for whatever sins we commited against them."

[Vakanai]

He then turned to Selma and Natalie "Ladies if you please, I think it best if we keep moving. Not giving an order just saying it might be best."

OOC: I thought everyone was walking and talking. Whatever happened to the walk and talk, we should bring that back.

[Miburohunter929]

OOC: Actually, we are. We're waiting for Cleric. Though if we can write in some sort of major baddie to pass the time that would be keen

OOC yay! Asskicking!

[Chou Blaster]

" Selma is doing hrrjob well, in guiding us. I just wonder how much more we have to go. As the Temple is supposed to be worse than the Forest, so the sooner we deal with it all, the better."


:As he kept o nthe march, keeping his eyes and ears sharp. Sure the forest path of red flowers wa snice, but the forest had denizens and said denizens make this trip harder.:


Heh, I wonder what Xandu is doin ghere, I ehard that was Kabua Khan's Pleasure palace.


:And he also podnere dthe possiblity of multi tasking.. As far as power types.:

[Silver Knight]

OOC: Actually, we are. We're waiting for Cleric. Though if we can write in some sort of major baddie to pass the time that would be keen

OOC: Well humm, your more experienced in magic, if you can think of something good that wont outright kill us then I guess its cool. As long as Kekowa gets some smashing in:evilsmile

[Ghost]

Far too rattled by recent happenstance to laugh, Natalie smiled briefly.

"I know you are just trying to lighten the mood...but the spirits aren't things to trifle with. Perhaps it is their lack of tangibility or perhaps that noone can really see them but even so..."

"I was always taught to pay respect to the spirits," Rhia said. "My people take such things very seriously, you see. But I was also taught not to fear them. They're said to be proud but fair, giving respect back where it's due. When dealing with the spiritual world, you should always keep mirht in your heart, less you attract weeping ghosts and misfortune."

She smiled. "I guess that's a roundabout way of saying: 'don't worry so much, things will work out.' If anything, this forest is the least of our troubles right now."

"The instructors at school were insane to send us out here alone. Utterly insane." Selma muttered, rubbing her eyes slightly.

Sighing, she walked over to Natalie, gently lifted her up, and set her against her back, using her hands as a seat for her friend as she said "Well, let's hurry up and get that damn Idol and return to school."

As she started walking she continued "But I'm certain the "teachers" are waiting for those of us who survive to return for more punishment for whatever sins we commited against them."

"Are you always this optimistic?" Rhia asked. "Come on, we're supposed to be the greatest talents this world has to offer. Besides, no one's died yet. I'm sure the teachers know what they're doing."

[GrampaGen]

"So what do you think caused the downfall of Atlantis?" Hunter asked.

"To be blunt, Hunter, I think it was an effect of unbalance," Natalie replied,"culling power from...darker...sources gives them a foothold in this realm and they feed off of life energy itself. Twisted powers that suckle from the cohesive fabric of space, ja? Naturally, the balance will turn inward to right itself, though it is unfortunate that none of the people could mend themselves in time."

[Vakanai]

OOC: If were gonna make a baddie, I say it should be a kickass forest elemental!:D

[Silver Knight]

OOC: If were gonna make a baddie, I say it should be a kickass forest elemental!:D

OOC:Given what I know about Magic: The Gathering, HELL NO it'd rape us

[Miburohunter929]

OOC: So would any powerful Black or White. Honestly, I think Blue or Red is our best bet.

[FalconX2000]

Natalie had recovered while Hunter was using the book. Now that the pary was moving again, he asked her,

"Are you feeling better now?"


"It's gone," Hunter said, not mentioning which demon he meant. Didn't matter, Henry's demon had soon fallen into a pitfall after being sent away, and the old Triumvirate had died after passing off his demon rank to Hunter, the new Triumvirate. He hadn't gained any strength, that would come slowly with time, just like anyone else. But he had lost something important.

The book is dead, Henrys' demon is gone but...theres' no way he's fine after what happened to him. If the demon had possesed him then his tears wouldn't turn to steam...he is a demon?

If the situation were not so life threatening as it was now, Xellos might have broken down there and then.

Pulling up behind Hunter, he began,

"I...am sorry. How has demonhood affected you?"

"I was always taught to pay respect to the spirits," Rhia said. "My people take such things very seriously, you see. But I was also taught not to fear them. They're said to be proud but fair, giving respect back where it's due. When dealing with the spiritual world, one should always keep ones heart mirthyfull, less you attract weeping ghosts and misfortune."

She smiled. "I guess that's a roundabout way of saying: 'don't worry so much, things willl work out.' If anything, this forest is the least of our troubles right now."

"Your peoples' customs are wise for the land they live in...though not all spirits are as benign."

Nodding to Hunter and Sirius

"Keep up the attitude though, you're a human morale boosting machine."

Xellos said with a sad smile.

[Vakanai]

"To be blunt, Hunter, I think it was an effect of unbalance," Natalie replied,"culling power from...darker...sources gives them a foothold in this realm and they feed off of life energy itself. Twisted powers that suckle from the cohesive fabric of space, ja? Naturally, the balance will turn inward to right itself, though it is unfortunate that none of the people could mend themselves in time."

"Ah," Hunter said. Feeding off of life energies, Hunter thought, I've fed off the life energies of trees all the time without really thinking about it. But then again, most trees are brainless energy sources that don't care, very different from this forest.

[Vakanai]

OOC:Given what I know about Magic: The Gathering, HELL NO it'd rape us

OOC: How about a generic, non brand name fantasy forest elemental?

The book is dead, Henrys' demon is gone but...theres' no way he's fine after what happened to him. If the demon had possesed him then his tears wouldn't turn to steam...he is a demon?

If the situation were not so life threatening as it was now, Xellos might have broken down there and then.

Pulling up behind Hunter, he began,

"I...am sorry. How has demonhood affected you?"

"I'll let you know when I figure it out," Hunter said.

[Silver Knight]

OOC: How about a generic, non brand name fantasy forest elemental?



"I'll let you know when I figure it out," Hunter said.

OOC: ok if you can come up with a Forest elemental that wont rape us then by all means. Its just those type of things in fiction tend to be Uber tough.

OOC: Why don't we kinda pass it back and forth until Cleric gets back? Like, I dunno, go through four minor monsters or so? Anyone wanna go first?



Natalie had recovered while Hunter was using the book. Now that the pary was moving again, he asked her,

"Are you feeling better now?"

"Yes...I was just tired, that's all...but Hunter, I'm worried about him. While he is in control of that power for now, it's extremely dangerous."


She smiled. "I guess that's a roundabout way of saying: 'don't worry so much, things will work out.' If anything, this forest is the least of our troubles right now."

"Are you always this optimistic?" Rhia asked. "Come on, we're supposed to be the greatest talents this world has to offer. Besides, no one's died yet. I'm sure the teachers know what they're doing."

As she started walking she continued "But I'm certain the "teachers" are waiting for those of us who survive to return for more punishment for whatever sins we commited against them."

"You would hope so, but...assuming Atlantis itself was a demonic entity possessing the bodies of land, just what would the faculty wish to prove by grafting a peice of it in the yard? Perhaps, Selma, that one spirit earlier is the only thing keeping it benign."

[Vakanai]

OOC: Gotta go for an hour-ish.

Nodding to Hunter and Sirius

"Keep up the attitude though, you're a human morale boosting machine."

Xellos said with a sad smile.

"Thanks," Rhia laughed. "I'll try."

"For the land they live in," huh? There's one who knows more then he lets in on.

[FalconX2000]

Don't worry Chrosis, that's the finest wooden elemental I've ever seen.

"Yes...I was just tired, that's all...but Hunter, I'm worried about him. While he is in control of that power for now, it's extremely dangerous."

"Yes. Yes it is...Nat, I asked Hunter to try to leash his book demon and use it drive out the one within Henry. I thought Hunters' demon would try to control or possess him. I was prepared to help him combat that. It...changed him. A demon was desperate enough to willingly exert itself to death just to change a host. Its almost unprecedented. I became his room mate to protect him from the dangers of his powers...I failed him."

Xelloss' said, his grip on his staff whitening his knuckles.

"I will guide him through this."

[The Dog]

"You would hope so, but...assuming Atlantis itself was a demonic entity possessing the bodies of land, just what would the faculty wish to prove by grafting a peice of it in the yard? Perhaps, Selma, that one spirit earlier is the only thing keeping it benign."

"Well, it's a good thing I was nice to it then, huh?" Selma said, a small, mirthless smile on her face. Natalie was easily carried by the fire mage, who seemed to barely notice the girl laying against her as they walked. Feeling Natalie's warmth through her shirt, Selma's cheeks darkened slightly, a small, happier smile now crossing her face.

Rhia was about to comment how showing kindness always payed back in the end, but picking up on the sublte change in Selma's demeanour, she just smiled.

[Chou Blaster]

:ANd Daichi jsut got tha tgiant vein in hea dlok again, a tad jealous, that Selma was THAT clsoe ot Natalie.:


Damnit, I made friends with her first,besides, I gotta educate her on the ways of the gmaing, AND I am willing to explain chi as best as I can! Ironically Natalie may even be readin gmy thoughts now. BUt no matter.


:He just kep ot himself until speaking.:

"See anything yet?"

[Eternal Torment]

"Yes. Yes it is...Nat, I asked Hunter to try to leash his book demon and use it drive out the one within Henry. I thought Hunters' demon would try to control or possess him.

Alexia reflected on Xellos' words. It was quite similar to her situation, although her body was not changed. She tried to muster up the courage to speak to him, but she failed.

"Nothing I say to him can help ease his pain."

[Yun Lao]

An apple fell from the branches above, landing within the waiting hand of Wei Levi, who nodded to the tree, "Thank you." As various theories of why the forest was, Levi simply bit into the fruit. Master Wan and Monk Shu might have been able to purify the forest, but Levi had left the temples before such teachings had been handed to him. He would just have to try his best to not anger the forest and its denizens.

[GrampaGen]

OOC: We need some monsters. We've been walking for like a day straight :p

IC: The silence was broken with the crunching of foliage and snapping of branches. In the background one could just barely make out the sound of a fallen timber, followed by a deep basso roar. The forest floor began to tremble, yet no footsteps could be heard.

Natalie's head perked up, and she hopped off of Selma's back, holding up a hand to signal silence.

What was that?

[Chou Blaster]

"Bloody Hell!!!"

:Gets inot battle stance andlisens around, a s he spoke.;

"No foot steps.> Could it be flying, or using the trees!?"


Hell i tjust may be a tree.

The silence was broken with the crunching of foliage and snapping of branches. In the background one could just barely make out the sound of a fallen timber, followed by a deep basso roar. The forest floor began to tremble, yet no footsteps could be heard.

Natalie's head perked up, and she hopped off of Selma's back, holding up a hand to signal silence.

What was that?

Selma, hearing the noise and feeling Natalie hop off her back, stopped and dropped into a fighting stance as fire beginning to crackle to life around her hands.

Her eyes scanned the forest around them, awaiting whatever was coming toward them. As she did so, she could only scowl and think 'Figures we'd be attack by some kind of monster. It's the only thing that hasn't happened to us today' as she searched for any possible attackers.

[Yun Lao]

OOC: We need some monsters. We've been walking for like a day straight :p

IC: The silence was broken with the crunching of foliage and snapping of branches. In the background one could just barely make out the sound of a fallen timber, followed by a deep basso roar. The forest floor began to tremble, yet no footsteps could be heard.

Natalie's head perked up, and she hopped off of Selma's back, holding up a hand to signal silence.

What was that?

Monk's spade was brought to his side as he heard the approaching being. Was in the forest, or was it one of the creatures that dwelled within it? Either way, they might be in for quite a fight.

[Ghost]

Tensing up, Rhia placed a hand on her sword. She felt her heart racing faster, and she smiled. Finally, something physical.

Dean sighed loudly. While it was true he was getting bored, and didnt mind fighting, since it made great training, doing it while sleepy, and with the party still recovering from the days events, was not the condition he would prefer to be in when dealing with such things.

"Ugh. What a pain in the ass. I suppose it can't be helped, however." One of Dean pectoral muscles began to quiver as he adjusted his gloves.

If there is an opponent, however, I will defeat it and prove to it my boundless might!!

OOC:

Peter watched in shock as the entire forest floor seemed to shift, roots twisting and manipulating themselves until a massive arm appeared. Another arm soon followed, and they worked in unison to push a massive, torso out of the ground. On the face of the massive creature was a pair of two merciless, golden eyes with no pupils to speak of.

Normally, it should have been impossible to tell which direction the creature was looking, but Peter felt- no, he knew that the thorn laden creature's eyes were upon the students. It sliced through his very core to feel such eyes upon him.

The massive creature seemed to pause for a moment, and then with a heave ripped it's right leg from the ground, trees flung from their places, sailing through the air with incredible force. Then, there was another yank, and the second leg was free, more debris ripping through the air.

Now, Peter could behold the thorn laden creature in it's full glory, towering over the forest, visible from miles away. It stared down at them, and for the first time in his life, Peter truly felt that he was utterly insignificant. Insignificant to this mammoth creature before him, with thorns the size of cars covering it's body, dirt and foliage slowly loosing it's grip on the creature and tumbling to the ground.

The creature brought it's hand forward, and the sky turned black as thorns the size of small Christmas trees fell from the sky like a horrible, spindly, rain.

[GrampaGen]

Natalie moved about; using Astral Eyes was useless when the whole forest was a spirit laying down an ethereal fog for her magical sensibilities. All she knew was that there was a feeling of small tremors, and they came in long progressions instead of intervening steps.

Daichi's batte cry disturbed the silence, and everything stopped and hung in the air for a moment. The chirps of birds and hiss of the breeze on the leaves made everything seem so serene.

Suddenly, in between Selma and Wei, the ground began to tremble, and out burst a creature with a terrible noise.

http://www.freewebs.com/mr-man-sam/wyrm.jpg

"Mein Gottin! A wyrm!"

It snarled and hissed, then cocked its head skyward and let out a deafening bellow. From the left and right, the ground gave way more as trees splintered and fell like twigs before the strength of four others.

They twitched amnd revelled back and forth, sucking air through their putrid maws as though crudely sniffing the group.

Then, like a viper, one of them struck its gruesome head toward Kekowa.

[Miburohunter929]

OOC: Wait, a forest elemental and how many wyrms?

[The Dog]

Selma's eyes widened slightly, then sighed, lowering her head as she said "Two monsters... great."

Turning to the great thorn beast, she began sending gouts of fire from her hands to incinerate its attacks, knowing she had a better chance against the one made of wood.

"Wow," Rhia said. "That unnerves even me. Heads up!" She jumped out of the way for a falling thorn.

"I'm gonna need a bigger sword for this," she sighed to herself.

[Chrosis]

OOC: Wait, a forest elemental and how many wyrms?

OOC: Didn't you notice? I put "OOC:" before that. ;)

Everyone here knows a Thorn Elemental would kill us all. :D

Rhia drew her sword in one swift motion. "Monster mash time!"

[Vakanai]

Hunter dodged a falling thorn. Tree man or wyrm? Hunter thought, deciding to go against the wooden forest thing.
"Oil Blast," Hunter said, firing three bullets from the gun known as Dorothy. The bullets turned to sticky tar, flammable fuel, upon hitting the tree man. "Fire Burst!" Hunter shouted firing a bullet from the gun known as Lucille. A blast of fire hit the stick man, catching on both wood and oil.

[Yun Lao]

It was like Christmas, exept that instead of getting presents, they were getting monsters that wanted to kill them. Spinning about, his monk's spade whirled behind him in an arc, knocking the thorn above him just enough to the side to keep it from landing on him.

Glancing from wyrm to wyrm and then the massive being of thorns, Levi pushed up his glasses.

[Miburohunter929]

"Oh come on!" Dean snapped in annoyance. " I know I wanted to kick some ass, but this is insane!"

Dean sighed, resigned to his fate.

"Well, Guess I'll try the Wyrm's."

They twitched amnd revelled back and forth, sucking air through their putrid maws as though crudely sniffing the group.

Then, like a viper, one of them struck its gruesome head toward Kekowa.

Kekowa rushed the Beast and slammed both his boots in the things face then followed it up with a nice big solid right. He then sommersaulted backwards about 25 feet to give it some space. Perfect I was itching for a fight and since its a Wyrm I can really cut loose, no mercy.

[Ghost]

"Mages! Do something about Mr Sharp-and-pointies over there! We'll need some heavy artillery to bring him down!" Rhia shouted. "Fighters, keep the slimy ones occupied and protect the casters!"

With that she rushed the wyrms slashing at the nearest one with her blade.

[Chou Blaster]

"Hmmmm. You know I got a plan!"

Seeing how big these thorns are, and seeing their is a seocnd monster.. I got all the wepaons I need, as that Thron thing is a spar factory!

:As he began to pick up the giant throns an dcolelcted five of them.:

Now them time to time tihs right.

:As he mad enotice of the throns, he began to hurl his throns spears at the Wyrm, the first hitting scaly par tand it bounced off, Daichi hurls a second, striknig and stickig to it's softer belly, and the menacing creature hisse,d ienraged and injured.:

: Daichi saw the creature comnig forward, as he hurls the other three, towo fo them striknig in the belly, and the final one actualy struck the wyrm in it's maw.;

"Make oyu hurt! :And the eneraged beast attmepted to attakc Daichi with a lunging bite, Daichi used his shor tbursts of speed to escape the attack.;

" Ha ha."

[Yun Lao]

Being one of the closest to the wyrms when they emerged, his own choice had been chosen as one of the wyrms snapped at him. Leaping back from the gruesome manibles, yuèyáchan being brought behind him, Levi looked upon the creature, "Are these the 'Godzilla' Instructor Mourn spoke about?"

[Vakanai]

"Mages! Do something about Mr Sharp-and-pointies over there! We'll need some heavy artillery to bring him down!" Rhia shouted. "Fighters, keep the smaller ones occupied and protect the casters!"

"It's on fire," Hunter said. "Air Slasher," Hunter said, firing another bullet. The bullet turned into several whirlwinds as sharp as blades, hacking through the thorn monster's right arm.

[Chrosis]

Hunter dodged a falling thorn. Tree man or wyrm? Hunter thought, deciding to go against the wooden forest thing.
"Oil Blast," Hunter said, firing three bullets from the gun known as Dorothy. The bullets turned to sticky tar, flammable fuel, upon hitting the tree man. "Fire Burst!" Hunter shouted firing a bullet from the gun known as Lucille. A blast of fire hit the stick man, catching on both wood and oil.

The Thorn Elemental raised a twisted, thorny appendage and flicked away the burning pieces of wood, showing no more irritation than one might if they were bit by a fly.

Seeming to focus more on Hunter now, the Thorn Elemental raised it's arm again, waving it across it's body once, facing the students. This time, a massive hail of thorns, bigger than the previous flight of projectiles rained down, most heavily upon Hunter.

It was like Christmas, exept that instead of getting presents, they were getting monsters that wanted to kill them. Spinning about, his monk's spade whirled behind him in an arc, knocking the thorn above him just enough to the side to keep it from landing on him.

Glancing from wyrm to wyrm and then the massive being of thorns, Levi pushed up his glasses.

Peter managed to deflect a great many of them with well timed Crushes, dragging some of the projectiles down before they could reach the group. He couldn't stop them all, however.

He rolled, dodging a particularly large thorn and got up behind Levi, "You have a plan? Because I don't."

[FalconX2000]

Alexia reflected on Xellos' words. It was quite similar to her situation, although her body was not changed. She tried to muster up the courage to speak to him, but she failed.

"Nothing I say to him can help ease his pain."

Xellos noticed Alexias' concern. He nodded his appreciation.

Then, like a viper, one of them struck its gruesome head toward Kekowa.

Xellos quickly readied his staff, frost pouring forth.

"If you're going meelee, avoid the jaws and don't get crushed under the body! Best place to hit is the underbelly or that soft neck area after the bony plates behind and beneath its head! ."

Jumping onto its head, he swatted its eyes with his staff, freezing them over. He jumped onto a nearby branch as the creature thrashed about, not wishing to be thrown off.

[Chrosis]

"It's on fire," Hunter said. "Air Slasher," Hunter said, firing another bullet. The bullet turned into several whirlwinds as sharp as blades, hacking through the thorn monster's right arm.

OOC: Just how powerful are your attacks, anyway? Because they seem to be a bit powerful. I'm just trying to be fair so we don't have a case of "zomg I use my special-awesome attack and kill it in two hits." Don't take it personally. :p

What's your magic skill?
IC:

The Thorn Elemental stepped to the side, the whirlwinds ripping off some the thorns making up it's left arm, leaving it harder for the Elemental to move.

[Ghost]

OOC: Just how powerful are your attacks, anyway? Because they seem to be a bit powerful. I'm just trying to be fair so we don't have a case of "zomg I use my special-awesome attack and kill it in two hits." Don't take it personally. :p

[Yun Lao]

Peter managed to deflect a great many of them with well timed Crushes, dragging some of the projectiles down before they could reach the group. He couldn't stop them all, however.

He rolled, dodging a particularly large thorn and got up behind Levi, "You have a plan? Because I don't."

"The smaller ones must go first so we can focus our attention toward the bigger one." He murmured as he sidestepped another snap made by his chosen wyrm. "As for how to defeat the big one..." He leaped back once more, though this time drove his extended index and middle fingers into one of the wyrm's crimson eyes, causing it to howl in pain. "...Rhia's 'burn-it-down' plan sounds good enough to me..."

[Chrosis]

OOC: But the best part about his is that since the dragon is gone, weaker, yet still powerful creatures have taken it's place. And since the dragon would've oneshotted this badboy before, it's completely reasonable that it would appear now. :D

[Chrosis]

OOC: Let's argue PIS after we kill it, okay? :p

OOC: What? It's a friggin' Thorn Elemental. I doubt a student with magic bullets could set it ablaze and rip off it's arms in two hits. ;)

[Miburohunter929]

As Dean sped towards one of the Wyrms, a stray Thorn descended from the air, poised to crush or Impale him, or some gory fusion of the both. Dean noticed the shadow the thorn was creating as it fell, and quickly took measures to prevent it from killing him.

Just before the thorn was close enough to dean that he could admire its every detail, he quickly spun to the side, hitting the thorn with a backfist, shattering it into pieces.

"Well, That was close. I suppose-" Before Dean could finish his sentence, a Wyrm flicked it's tail with supernatural speed, sending him on a collision course with a tree.

[Vakanai]

The Thorn Elemental raised a twisted, thorny appendage and flicked away the burning pieces of wood, showing no more irritation than one might if they were bit by a fly.

Seeming to focus more on Hunter now, the Thorn Elemental raised it's arm again, waving it across it's body once, facing the students. This time, a massive hail of thorns, bigger than the previous flight of projectiles rained down, most heavily upon Hunter.

"Oh crap," Hunter said, putting the gun to his head and pulling the trigger while screaming, "Smoke Demon!" Suddenly he was but smoke, thorns landing all around him and through him. The spell quickly wore off once the barrage of wooden projectiles had stopped falling, Hunter shifting back to blood and bone. He wouldn't be able to use a spell like that one again for a while.

[Ghost]

"The smaller ones must go first so we can focus our attention toward the bigger one." He murmured as he sidestepped another snap made by his chosen wyrm. "As for how to defeat the big one..."

"...Rhia's 'burn-it-down' plan sounds good enough to me..."

Rhia had managed to sever the mandible of one of the wyrms, and was now dodging it's crazed strikes with with great agility.

"Just try not... to set... the forest on fire... as well!" she shouted in between the attacks.

[Vakanai]

OOC: Just how powerful are your attacks, anyway? Because they seem to be a bit powerful. I'm just trying to be fair so we don't have a case of "zomg I use my special-awesome attack and kill it in two hits." Don't take it personally. :p

What's your magic skill?

OOC: I go with small car busting. It's made of wood so it didn't seem like much force would be needed just the right kind. Hunter's attack power is actually small, but widely varied. Just got to keep telling my self, small car buster, small car buster.:D

[Chrosis]

"Oh crap," Hunter said, putting the gun to his head and pulling the trigger while screaming, "Smoke Demon!" Suddenly he was but smoke, thorns landing all around him and through him. The spell quickly wore off once the barrage of wooden projectiles had stopped falling, Hunter shifting back to blood and bone. He wouldn't be able to use a spell like that one again for a while.

OOC: ...you do know that you only have like, three different spells at the max right now because of your magic level, right? A Van Buster, Weak Shield, and Basic Magic such as lighting candles or untying ropes. ;)

But before I make myself look like a fool, does anyone really care?

[Silver Knight]

Xellos noticed Alexias' concern. He nodded his appreciation.



Xellos quickly readied his staff, frost pouring forth.

"If you're going meelee, avoid the jaws and don't get crushed under the body! Best place to hit is the underbelly or that soft neck area after the bony plates behind and beneath its head! ."

Jumping onto its head, he swatted its eyes with his staff, freezing them over. He jumped onto a nearby branch as the creature thrashed about, not wishing to be thrown off.

Oh hell might as well try Kekowa thought as he raced to the now blind beast. He was easily able to blitz it. He gave it a quick kick to the belly to confuse it and make it turn around. Then he Lept onto the creatures back side and saw the place Xelloes talked about. "Eat this sucker!" Kekowa said as he let loose a powerful blow into the Wryms weak spot in his head. The monster made a sicking scream and thrashed about. Kekowa managed to hang on. "All right time to have a meeting of the minds." Kekowa charged up his fist and formed it into a claw and thrust with all his might, claeving his arm deep into the creatures head. Kekowa's arm wriggled around in the head untill he felt what appeared to be an organ. He pulled out some thing that looked like brains and kidneys put together. He repeated pulling out parts untill the Wrym fell dead. "Now thats what I call a sticky situation." HE apvanced on to the scene having defeated his monster he called out. "Ok Who else needs a dead monster!?"

[Vakanai]

OOC: What? It's a friggin' Thorn Elemental. I doubt a student with magic bullets could set it ablaze and rip off it's arms in two hits. ;)

OOT: It's wood, with oil splattered on it, it should be easily flammable. Plus, I only said it "hacked" through. Hacking just cuts some stuff, but it takes several hacks of anything to cut through a tree. I never said it's arm fell off.;)

[Yun Lao]

Rhia had managed to blind a wyrm in one eye, and was dodging it's crazed strikes with with great agility.

"Just try not... to set... the forest on fire... as well!" she shouted in between the attacks.

"Indeed, such a reminder is wise to remember. The last thing we need is more of the forest to grow angry with us." Twirling the monk's spade before him, the crescent tips embedded themselves into the top and lower parts of the wyrm's gaping maw. Roaring out in pain, it whipped back its head and Levi with it. Hanging onto the yuèyáchan staff as the wyrm snapped its head about, he finally planted each of feet against its side manibles.

He had to act quickly for the bottom two manibles were still free and closing in toward his back.

[FalconX2000]

"Well, That was close. I suppose-" Before Dean could finish his sentence, a Wyrm flicked it's tail with supernatural speed, sending him on a collision course with a tree.


Fortunately, that was the same tree Xellos had jumped to. Forming a blunt scythe blade on the end of his staff, he hooked his legs in the branch, icing around his feet to form an "ice swing joint".

Catching Dean with the scythe, he swung him about, using his own momentum to power them right way up. He then released his tough friend, sending him hurtling back at the wyrm, the impact driving it through another tree.

[Chrosis]

OOT: It's wood, with oil splattered on it, it should be easily flammable. Plus, I only said it "hacked" through. Hacking just cuts some stuff, but it takes several hacks of anything to cut through a tree. I never said it's arm fell off.;)

OOC: You and your technicalities! :p

Also, as a general announcement, I would recommend that you take the little ones and flee. This foe is beyond any of you!

[Chou Blaster]

: And so it was, Daichi noticnig the Wyrm as it smacked up Dean, h e had another giant Thron in hand.:

:As he in turn, sped up and leapt up onto the hard caprace and driven the new giant through ino the soft parts of the Wyrms neck, and as the giantic monster roars in pain it shfits it's body and smacks up Daich onto a open grove. Daichi lfited hismelf up and attmepted to doge, as the Wyrm slamed itself, the sheer shock wave knocked Daichi around.:


:As he well curses and rolls hi s damnest away, as he knew he could not take on the thron monster.:

[Vakanai]

OOC: ...you do know that you only have like, three different spells at the max right now because of your magic level, right? A Van Buster, Weak Shield, and Basic Magic such as lighting candles or untying ropes. ;)

But before I make myself look like a fool, does anyone really care?

OOC: I have a sheild spell? I figured basic magic consists of that alchemy stuff, which obviously shouldn't be used against enemies, but might work on the caster himself. Besides, he has no speed or durability, you basically set me up for a death thing there. Hunter cannot dodge or take damage from giant thorns of death.

[The Dog]

Growling to herself, Selma took a deep breath and relaxed before opening her eyes to look over the thorn creature before her. It was large, powerful, and deadly... but it also appeared to be dry.

Very dry in fact.

Smirking to herself, she spread her hands before her and muttered "Hotarubi..." From them a series of small, glowing balls flew from her hands and toward the elemental, attacking to its skin.

Normally, the technique was good for little more than lighting candles. But with a monster made of dry kindling...

"Hidaruma!" she said, causing the small sparks burst into small flames. However, with dry wood and plenty of fresh air, the small flames quickly spread, covering it with a roaring fire.

[Silver Knight]

OOC: Ok where should Kekowa go since he beat his monster? Where could he do the most good?

[GrampaGen]

Oh hell might as well try Kekowa thought as he raced to the now blind beast. He was easily able to blitz it. He gave it a quick kick to the belly to confuse it and make it turn around. Then he Lept onto the creatures back side and saw the place Xelloes talked about. "Eat this sucker!" Kekowa said as he let loose a powerful blow into the Wryms weak spot in his head.

He repeated pulling out parts untill the Wrym fell dead. "Now thats what I call a sticky situation." HE apvanced on to the scene having defeated his monster he called out. "Ok Who else needs a dead monster!?"

"Watch out!"

Another Wyrm dashed in from the side, the drooling mouth poised to wrap itself around Kekowa's body, when it jerked and fell headfirst in a whiplike motion. Natalie had grabbed it by the tail with her Astral Avatar, enough of a vice to make it bleed. The creature then bellowed, then thrust its head below the forest floor, burrowing at a rapid pace, its momentum carrying towards its tail end and sending the witch careening off.

It would bide its time for the moment.

Natalie was thrown off, in front of the Thorn Elemental, shaken and unawares.

[Vakanai]

OOC: You and your technicalities! :p

Also, as a general announcement, I would recommend that you take the little ones and flee. This foe is beyond any of you!

OOC: What about all of us? Plus it's not a Magic: The Gathering wood giant thing, it's a School house rumbles giant wood man. Maybe he's a weaker breed?

[Yun Lao]

Ki gathered throughout his body, concentrating into his right palm. Appearing black at first, the small orb soon began to lighten to a neon green. Tearing out the monk's spade with his left hand, the weapon wa sbrought behind him; barely catching the manibles in time. Bringing back his right hand Levi would strike the beast right between the eyes with the heel of his palm.

The orb of ki in his palm, though small, revealed its power upon impact of the strike. Erupting like a bomb, the upper half of the wyrm's head and body exploded into a a shower of gore. Landing upon the earth, his palm smoking, Levi turned to the remaining creatures.

[Ghost]

"Hidaruma!" she said, causing the small sparks burst into small flames. However, with dry wood and plenty of fresh air, the small flames quickly spread, covering it with a roaring fire.

"I said don't set the forest on fire!" Rhia shrieked. Narrowly avoiding another attack, she rolled on the ground and stabbed her sword deep into the wyrm's soft belly. It roar and trashed in pain, tearing the weapon out of her grip.

Rhia looked down at her empty hand. "Well, that's not good." oO

Rhia looked down at her empty hand. "Well, that's not good." oO

"I'm not setting the forest on fire! I'm setting the dry thorn elemental on fire! And fire's all I really got to fight with!" Selma yelled back, keeping her eyes on the thorn elemental.

[Miburohunter929]

Fortunately, that was the same tree Xellos had jumped to. Forming a blunt scythe blade on the end of his staff, he hooked his legs in the branch, icing around his feet to form an "ice swing joint".

Catching Dean with the scythe, he swung him about, using his own momentum to power them right way up. He then released his tough friend, sending him hurtling back at the wyrm, the impact driving it through another tree.

As the Wyrm was sent flying back from the impact of Deans collision with him, Dean couldnt help but have a flashback to the test where he had pulled a similar manuever with natalie.

And he also remembered that he didnt like it to much. Shirking off his feelings, he concentrated on where to fall, seeing as he was still airborne, due to the impact from him and the Wyrm meeting, sending him bouncing a few feet back from the nearest tree.

Dean however, was being sent into a path near another Wyrm, and decided to just go with the flow, curling himself into a ball, as he collided with another wyrm, the impact sending him crashing to the floor.

[Vakanai]

Growling to herself, Selma took a deep breath and relaxed before opening her eyes to look over the thorn creature before her. It was large, powerful, and deadly... but it also appeared to be dry.

Very dry in fact.

Smirking to herself, she spread her hands before her and muttered "Hotarubi..." From them a series of small, glowing balls flew from her hands and toward the elemental, attacking to its skin.

Normally, the technique was good for little more than lighting candles. But with a monster made of dry kindling...

"Hidaruma!" she said, causing the small sparks burst into small flames. However, with dry wood and plenty of fresh air, the small flames quickly spread, covering it with a roaring fire.

OOC: See, I'm not the only one to think it should be highly flammable!

[Chou Blaster]

"Watch out!"

Another Wyrm dashed in from the side, the drooling mouth poised to wrap itself around Kekowa's body, when it jerked and fell headfirst in a whiplike motion. Natalie had grabbed it by the tail with her Astral Avatar, enough of a vice to make it bleed. The creature then bellowed, then thrust its head below the forest floor, burrowing at a rapid pace, its momentum carrying towards its tail end and sending the witch careening off.

It would bide its time for the moment.

Natalie was thrown off, in front of the Thorn Elemental, shaken and unawares.

"I said don't set the forest on fire!" Rhia shrieked. Narrowly avoiding another attack, she rolled on the ground and stabbed her sword deep into the wyrm's soft belly. It roar and trashed in pain, tearing the weapon out of her grip.

Rhia looked down at her empty hand. "Well, that's not good." oO

Suddenly, the wyrm that had burrowed under the ground burst up, and quick as a flash, bound Rhia in its coils - not unlike the python choking the life from its prey.

Elsewhere Natalie noticed a shower of sparks and cinders floating off behind her. Selma had attempted to incinerate the thorn creature, and was dodging as she did so.

"No wait! It is futile to attack it like this, it's composed of the very lifeblood of the forest itself!"

[FalconX2000]

Xellos kicked the sword out of the wyrms stomach, jabbing an ice lance through its throat. It started choking on its own blood, but slammed its body at where Xellos had been moments before, attmpting to squash him.

"I'll do damage control on the forest. Ice ought to be a good solution to stray fires."

OOC: I count 4 wyrms dead and 1 underground evading Natalie's avatar.

[Yun Lao]

Before he could act it seemed Xellos had assisted Rhia. Overhearing that plan 'Burn-It-Down' was useless, he glanced over to Selma, asking, "So its safe to say that hacking it won't work either?"

[Vakanai]

Hunter began running towards a wyrm. He wasn't running into battle however, he was running from the next hail of thorns. "Run," Hunter shouted at the wyrm before it was impaled on a falling thorn. "Tried to warn you," Hunter said, still running from the wrath of the giant forest monster of death.

[Vakanai]

Xellos kicked the sword out of the wyrms stomach, jabbing an ice lance through its throat. It started choking on its own blood, but slammed its body at where Xellos had been moments before, attmpting to squash him.

OOC: I count 4 wyrms dead and 1 underground evading Natalie's avatar.

OOC: How many were there to begin with? I'm slow with remembering numbers.

[FalconX2000]

Leaping toward the wyrm Rhia was combatting, he drove the tips of the yuèyáchan deeply into it's side. Squirming in pain, Levi once more found himself a mere rag doll as he hung for dear life. Risking being thrown off, he reached for Rhia's sword.

Taking hold of the weapon, he tore it out and stabbed the wyrm once more before throwing the weapon back toward its mistress, "Rhia, I believe this belongs to you!"

OOC: and too late, ignore this post.

I posted first, mines in continuity.:D You won't believe how many tmes I had to re-edit my post in the teacher fight because I took too long to think of innovative solutions.

How bout after you engaged the wyrm, you picked the sword out of the wyrms stomach and threw it to her?

After Vakanais' post, thats 5 wyrms down and 1 underground. This means that you guys can either hunt for the remaining one or try to find a way to take down the thorn beast.

Response to Vakanai: 6, I believe I saw the number earlier.

Natalie hadn't even noticed the elemental had shot out these spikes, still somewhat dazed from her fall.

"Oh! Yes, thanks to you!"

Attempting to size up the creature and the dire predicament they were in, Natalie could only utter one word.

"Banishment..."

She pulled her wand out from her sleeve.

"Selma! Chalk?!"

[Silver Knight]

Suddenly, the wyrm that had burrowed under the ground burst up, and quick as a flash, bound Rhia in its coils - not unlike the python choking the life from its prey.

Elsewhere Natalie noticed a shower of sparks and cinders floating off behind her. Selma had attempted to incinerate the thorn creature, and was dodging as she did so.

"No wait! It is futile to attack it like this, it's composed of the very lifeblood of the forest itself!"

"Natalie!" Kekowa screamed as he raced towards her. Reaching her he immediatly went intoa kickboxing stance ready to strike. "You very well saved my life, That is something I wont forget, and im not leaving your side untill I repay that debt." Kekowa noticed soemthing rustling in the ground ahead...

[Ghost]

"Hey, gimme my sword back!" Rhia shouted, running after the wyrm that had "stolen" her weapon. As the creature turned it's massive head towards her, she collected her chi in her hands and cried out. "Thunderstorm Cannon!"

The blast hit it head on. The wyrm threw its head back and roared, angered more then hurt.

Mental note, Rhia thought. Train your samana more.

"Um, guys," she said. "Help?"

As the Wyrm was sent flying back from the impact of Deans collision with him, Dean couldnt help but have a flashback to the test where he had pulled a similar manuever with natalie.

And he also remembered that he didnt like it to much. Shirking off his feelings, he concentrated on where to fall, seeing as he was still airborne, due to the impact from him and the Wyrm meeting, sending him bouncing a few feet back from the nearest tree.

Dean however, was being sent into a path near another Wyrm, and decided to just go with the flow, curling himself into a ball, as he collided with another wyrm, the impact sending him crashing to the floor.

All of a sudden, Dean came flying and hit the wyrm at a high velocity. The creature seemed to stagger for a moment, then came crashing to the ground.

Seeing an opening, Rhia ran up to it and drew her sword out of its body. "Yoink!"

[Miburohunter929]

As Dean lay on the ground, clearing the cobwebs from his head, he became aware of the area where he was laying becoming alot cooler, and darker. As he forced his eyes open, he saw a medium sized dot in the sky, which seemed to be growing larger. As he looked onto the dot, contemplating it for a moment, he slowly began to realize that his dot was, infact, a thorn.

Mere seconds before the thorn would have hit him, he barely managed to roll out of it's path. The Impact of the crash kicked dirt and gravel in all directions, temporarily blocking his vision.

I hate this forest.

[Chrosis]

Growling to herself, Selma took a deep breath and relaxed before opening her eyes to look over the thorn creature before her. It was large, powerful, and deadly... but it also appeared to be dry.

Very dry in fact.

Smirking to herself, she spread her hands before her and muttered "Hotarubi..." From them a series of small, glowing balls flew from her hands and toward the elemental, attacking to its skin.

Normally, the technique was good for little more than lighting candles. But with a monster made of dry kindling...

"Hidaruma!" she said, causing the small sparks burst into small flames. However, with dry wood and plenty of fresh air, the small flames quickly spread, covering it with a roaring fire.

The Thorn Elemental stood still, ignoring the flames that covered it's body. Despite the now raging inferno, the Elemental seemed largely unaffected, as if only the air around the elemental was aflame, not the elemental itself. It took the initiative.

This time, it raised it's massive leg and stomped it into the ground, and thorns began to rip through the ground, a wall of thorns continually ripping through the ground, forming an expanding forest composed completely of massive wooden spikes pointed skyward.

OOC: Ok where should Kekowa go since he beat his monster? Where could he do the most good?

OOC: I'd recommend helping to prevent the rain of thorns from killing all the casters.

"Watch out!"

Another Wyrm dashed in from the side, the drooling mouth poised to wrap itself around Kekowa's body, when it jerked and fell headfirst in a whiplike motion. Natalie had grabbed it by the tail with her Astral Avatar, enough of a vice to make it bleed. The creature then bellowed, then thrust its head below the forest floor, burrowing at a rapid pace, its momentum carrying towards its tail end and sending the witch careening off.

It would bide its time for the moment.

Natalie was thrown off, in front of the Thorn Elemental, shaken and unawares.

The Thorn Elemental raised it's arm once again, yet another wave of thorns launching forward. It appeared, at this moment, that nothing could stop the creature.

OOC: What about all of us? Plus it's not a Magic: The Gathering wood giant thing, it's a School house rumbles giant wood man. Maybe he's a weaker breed?

OOC: Nope. Sorry. ;)

[FalconX2000]

"Hey, gimme my sword back!" Rhia shouted, running after the wyrm that had "stolen" her weapon. As the creature turned it's massive head towards her, she collected her chi in her hands and cried out. "Thunderstorm Cannon!"

2 of us posted conflicting points about rescuing your sword, and the wyrms you killed was dead a few posts ago.

Whats left is the thorn monster and the undeground wyrm, which seems to be beneath Kekowa and Natalie at the moment from what Silver Knight typed.

[The Dog]

Natalie hadn't even noticed the elemental had shot out these spikes, still somewhat dazed from her fall.

"Oh! Yes, thanks to you!"

Attempting to size up the creature and the dire predicament they were in, Natalie could only utter one word.

She pulled her wand out from her sleeve.

Selma turned to Natalie and reached into her pocket and pulled a piece out with a smile, handing it to her as she said "Here you go!"

OOC: Eh, edited mine, but thanks for the suggestion.

Finding the discarded sword upon the ground, Levi took it up before throwing it toward her "Rhia!" Once leaving his hand, the monk made his way toward the thorn beast. While he probably couldn't hurt it, nontheless, kill it, he could at least distract it.

[Ghost]

Oh, hush! Rhia got her sword back, and that's what matters. :p

[Vakanai]

OOC: Nope. Sorry. ;)

OOC: Then why have you unleashed it upon us? They don't really have anywhere to run to, they're in a forest, in the middle of nowhere, looking for a temple. There is literally no "run away" option, it's just kill and move forward. So why is there an unkillable monster here?

[Chou Blaster]

"It's so toguh, it is like the only thing that cna hurt it, is.. Itself"?


:As he ynake dthrosn out of the thron wall an dbegan hurlnig them a sprojecitles back at the THron Elemental, as he was pissed off by it's prsence, but fel tlike retreating before long.:

Selma turned to Natalie and reached into her pocket and pulled a piece out with a smile, handing it to her as she said "Here you go!"

Natalie clasped Selma's hand.

"This is beyond my skill to do alone, I'll need your help, and any other of the mystics to attempt to banish the ~"


The Thorn Elemental raised it's arm once again, yet another wave of thorns launching forward. It appeared, at this moment, that nothing could stop the creature.

"AHHHH!"

Natalie shoved Selma out of the way and covered herself with the arms of her Avatar; though it could defend briefly against most things, the sheer mass of the thorns and vines broke through this invisible shield, crushing the spiritual construct and cutting deep into her arms.

Kekowa with his back to Nat looked around at the scene, every one was dis organized. He saw Xellos and called out to him "Hey Xellos mr plan man over here, I think Ive got a plan, get everyone over here that you can"

Unless that's already been taken care of?

*edit* fuck it, they're dead ;)

[Miburohunter929]

Oh, hush! Rhia got her sword back, and that's what matters. :p

OOC: Damn right!

IC: As Deans vision cleared, he realized that the thorn that attacked him, had come back to finish the job. It began to slowly tilt towards dean, like a tree preparing to crush an infant.

"It wont be that easy" Dean muttered as he quickly moved to the side, and kicked the thorn as it fell, with a great deal of force. Dean set up his kick so that the thorn was sent flying towards the crotch of the Thorn Monster who had caused such problems.

[Tami]

OT: Sorry I couldn't join in on the battles so far. If there are any monsters left, Tamiko will try and do what she can to help.

"NATALIE!"

Selma stared at the place where Natalie lay before running to her, clearing the thorns and vines out of her way until she finally found her, blood pouring down her arms.

"Natalie... are you OK?" Selma asked, holding the girl close, tears of pain running down her cheeks as she did so.

[Chrosis]

Natalie clasped Selma's hand.

OOC: I've got an idea on how to end this, but I'd like to hear some opinions on it first. First three volunteers gets to hear it and give their opinion.

[Vakanai]

OOC: Who cares!? Let's just kill it! oO

OOC: Agreed. What's the plan?

IC: Hunter was going through his spells, chi energy, and pyschic list of options. He found only one, the 'hide' option. Somehow he didn't think that would work.
"He spent the last of his bullets on oil and fire spells. Maybe it would slow the damned, wooden-yet-seemingly-fire-proof thing down for a second.

"It wont be that easy" Dean muttered as he quickly moved to the side, and kicked the thorn as it fell, with a great deal of force. Dean set up his kick so that the thorn was sent flying towards the crotch of the Thorn Monster who had caused such problems.

When the thorn colided with the Thorn Elemental's crotch, it paused for a second, scanning the ground.

Then it locked eyes with Dean.

Keeping one arm over the main section of the group, it brought it's other arm up, a massive barrage aimed solely at the cocky bastard who had thrown a thorn at it's crotch.

[Yun Lao]

As thorns descended, Levi ascended. Using the much wider sides, the former monk used the projectiles as springboards somewhat. Leaping off one thorn, he swung the spade end of the yuèyáchan toward the mass of the thorns. Unfortunately, what damage he did do to the creature was nothing more than a scratch and as for him, well the 'fun' was about to begin.

Gravity took hold of him, dragging him toward the earth, only to find himself followed by more of the projectile thorns. Twisting and turning in the air he fought to get out from beneath one. As the thorn descended next to him, he finally kicked off its side, landing in a skid across the ground below.

[FalconX2000]

OOC:Yun Lao, I'm typing too fast. Sorry for my stupid suggestion, I got what you did mixed up with what I was thinking.

BTC:

While the wyrms had been dispatched, the thorn beast seemed to be as strong as ever. (OOC: Hey, Chrosis made it that way. The fire plan sounded great to me.)

As Xellos put out the stray fires with his ice magic, his mind was racing for a solution. Then it hit him.

We're still walking near along a route near the chasm. It can't be more than a couple hundred metres away.

Xellos quickly made his way from branch to branch, finally reaching the huge yawning hole they had seen before. It was a breath taking sight. Gathering a large store of magic, he plunged his staff into the ground, creating an ice blanket stretching several dozen metres along the edge.

Though drained, he ran back as fast as he could, then called to his team mates.

"Drive it into the chasm! I've set it up to make the job easier. Go for it!"

[Ghost]

OOC: Agreed. What's the plan?

IC: Hunter was going through his spells, chi energy, and pyschic list of options. He found only one, the 'hide' option. Somehow he didn't think that would work.
"He spent the last of his bullets on oil and fire spells. Maybe it would slow the damned, wooden-yet-seemingly-fire-proof thing down for a second.
"Why won't you just burn!"

OOC: Well, if this was a video game, it would have some sort of weak spot we could exploit.

IC: "Keep trying!" Rhia yelled. "It must have a weakness of some kind!"

[Vakanai]

OOC: I would volunteer, but I gotta go for a bit now.

[Chrosis]

OOC: I've got my three panelists. Sorry, folks. ;)

For the three who contacted me, I'll send PM's.

[Ghost]

OOC: Actually, come to think of it, isn't Chrosis' character the guy with the uber gravity magic?

[Chrosis]

OOC: ME!!!

OOC: Actually, come to think of it, isn't Chrosis' character the guy with the uber gravity magic?

OOC: Y'up. ;) That's Peter Schmidt.

[GrampaGen]

"NATALIE!"

Selma stared at the place where Natalie lay before running to her, clearing the thorns and vines out of her way until she finally found her, blood pouring down her arms.

"Natalie... are you OK?" Selma asked, holding the girl close, tears of pain running down her cheeks as she did so.

The witch in spite of her injuries tried to pry her friend's hand away.

"Die Gottin...try to get the mystics together...find Tamiko!"

[Chou Blaster]

: And he noted Selma rushing out an dher reaction.:


Of course Natalie was fine, he made sure nothin g would happen to her, as he decided to speak.:

"Yeah I hope yo uget this banishment thin gunderway, this thing is one giant pain in the ass."


:As he caught more falling throns and kicked a rising thronaway, destroying it.:

[Silver Knight]

"Nat, I must leave you to help deal with that Tree creature. Stay with Selma, if your in danger ill come right back."

Kekowa raced towards the Thorn monster. Things been shot, cut, set on fire and still it persists. I may have the most strength of the class but unless Im crafty he'll murder me Kekowa saw the creature as it was distracted and had it back turned. HE lept for it rearing his fist way back and Yelled "Heres mud in your eye!" As he punched the creature in the head as hard as he could.

[Miburohunter929]

When the thorn colided with the Thorn Elemental's crotch, it paused for a second, scanning the ground.

Then it locked eyes with Dean.

Keeping one arm over the main section of the group, it brought it's other arm up, a massive barrage aimed solely at the cocky bastard who had thrown a thorn at it's crotch.

Dean had ran this scenario through his mind, mere seconds before he attacked the Thorn. However, there were some key differences between his vision and reality.

In his vision, the Thorn, upon recieving the impressive impact to its crotch, would scream in agonzing pain, barely able to stand, and eventually dropping to the ground, unconcious from the pain. At which point, Dean and his comrades, after peeing on said Thorn, would use it for fire wood.

Not only was said Thorn *not* hurt, it was pissed. At Dean.

"Crap" was all he said as the attack began and he attempted to mount a defense, or rather, survive.

[FalconX2000]

Kekowa with his back to Nat looked around at the scene, every one was dis organized. He saw Xellos and called out to him "Hey Xellos mr plan man over here, I think Ive got a plan, get everyone over here that you can"

"No time. Shout it out or act it out."

Xellos quickly replied.

OOC: I've just posted my plan. Chrosis may have been coy about his way to defeat the monster...but I think the chasm shnick should be able to do it if you guys like it enough to go along with it. (And Chrosis, no going through all kinds of wierd circumstances just to make your plan the only one that can work.:p Going for lunch, be back in 20.)

[Ghost]

OOC: Y'up. ;) That's Peter Schmidt.

OOC: Well, then get on with it!

The witch in spite of her injuries tried to pry her friend's hand away.

"Die Gottin...try to get the mystics together...find Tamiko!"

"Dammit!" Rhia growled, still deflecting thorns.

I wasn't fast enough to protect her. I'm not powerful enough to destroy the monster! This is like what happened to Shamra all over again!

"DAMMIT!"

[Eternal Torment]

Alexia managed to get behind the thorn elemental. "Take this!" She blasted it in the leg with a Sorrow Drive at the same time Kekowa punched it in the head, causing it to drop to one knee. "Hurry! Hit it now!"

[Yun Lao]

OT: Sorry I couldn't join in on the battles so far. If there are any monsters left, Tamiko will try and do what she can to help.

IC: Tamiko was frozen in fear, uncertainity and confusion while the battles around her were raging. having never been in a battle such as these, she didn't know what to do.

OOC: Don't worry about it. Better late than never, no?


Wincing as found that some of the thorns had found their way into parts of his hands, Levi turned to see Tamiko. "Tamiko, don't be afraid." He said to her, before glancing back to the creature, "Though as fearsome as it may appear, we will defeat it." Smirking some, he added, "And with you, we can't be beat." After all, she had been the one to defeat one of the Instructors, or at least her trial.

[Miburohunter929]

OOC: You know, any help *not* ending up with a face full o spike, would be most appriciated.

Also, Chrosis, is he hitting me with his fist, or shooting assloads of spikes at me?

[FalconX2000]

Xellos iced the ground the thorn beast was about to step on, then let it start to slip.

He rebounded off a tree and kicked it in direction of the chasm. He wasn't the strongest member of the team by any means, but he hoped by setting an example the rest of the team might follow.

"The chasm!"

OOC: If you guys really don't like the plan, this is the last time I'll be mentioning it.

[Chrosis]

OOC: You know, any help *not* ending up with a face full o spike, would be most appriciated.

Also, Chrosis, is he hitting me with his fist, or shooting assloads of spikes at me?

OOC: Assload of spikes.

OOC: If you guys really don't like the plan, this is the last time I'll be mentioning it.

OOC: Whatever! I'm game for any plan, just as long as we beat this thing!

[Chou Blaster]

:And Daichi over saw everything akin to Saving private Ryan style.:


:Saw Nat and Selma, looknig for Tmaiko, saw Xellos doing his ice trap and he spoke.:

"Ladies, maybe we should star tmvoing an dmaybe trick the creature inot following us? It is bette rthan being sitting ducks, waiting fo rthe thir dmember of your roomie situation."


:As he wonder sif it wil evne pass and get them to notice there wer e alternatives.:

[Silver Knight]

OOC: You know, any help *not* ending up with a face full o spike, would be most appriciated.

Also, Chrosis, is he hitting me with his fist, or shooting assloads of spikes at me?

OOC: Well Me and Lex are currently kicking its asss right now.

After droping it one knee Kekowa took the oportunity from Xellos to drop kick the thing in the head again planting both feet right in its kisser. "How's my boots taste BEYOTCH!?"

[Chrosis]

OOC: You know, any help *not* ending up with a face full o spike, would be most appriciated.

Peter followed the thorns with his eyes, "CRUSH!"

The sudden increase in gravity yanked the thorns to the ground, or at least most of them.

While the guitarist had saved Dean from sure death, there was still the unsure death of the spikes skidding along the ground at the fighter.

[Yun Lao]

Xellos iced the ground the thorn beast was about to step on, then let it start to slip.

He rebounded off a tree and kicked it in direction of the chasm. He wasn't the strongest member of the team by any means, but he hoped by setting an example the rest of the team might follow.

"The chasm!"

Having tried his best to ease Tamiko's fears, Levi glanced over to Xellos and his plan, understanding what he meant to do. Dashing toward the same leg as Xellos had kicked, he struck it with the flat side of the spade head of his yuèyáchan.

[Ghost]

Having tried his best to ease Tamiko's fears, Levi glanced over to Xellos and his plan, understanding what he meant to do. Dashing toward the same leg as Xellos had kicked, he struck it with the flat side of the spade head of his
yuèyáchan.

Realising what was going on, Rhia lept forwards and struck the same leg with another Thunderstorm Cannon.

[Eternal Torment]

Having tried his best to ease Tamiko's fears, Levi glanced over to Xellos and his plan, understanding what he meant to do. Dashing toward the same leg as Xellos had kicked, he struck it with the flat side of the spade head of his yuèyáchan.

Alexia followed up their attacks by jumping towards the thorn creature and punching it in the lower back, causing the elemental to stumble forward again.

[Silver Knight]

OOC: Well Me and Lex are currently kicking its asss right now.

After droping it one knee Kekowa took the oportunity from Xellos to drop kick the thing in the head again planting both feet right in its kisser. "How's my boots taste BEYOTCH!?"

Limping off of Selma's shoulder, Natalie called out.

"Daichi! Come here, I --ahh!"

Her arms were raked across and the rest of her hit hard, still, she fought to stay awake.

"I need you to help me, please?"

[Chrosis]

Alexia followed up their attacks by jumping towards the thorn creature and punching it in the lower back, causing the elemental to stumble forward again.
OOC: ...away from the chasm. :confused: And FYI! The method of death/defeat has been chosen! Just do your thing, people. You'll see. ;)
IC:

The Thorn Elemental caught itself, nearly falling over from all the blows in rapid succession, all over it's body.

In a blind attack, swung it's arm out as it rose, another rainfall of giant thorns ripping through the sky as they soared through the air. However, it was off balance, still, swaying forwards and backwards for a moment, trying to steady itself on the slippery ground.

[The Dog]

Limping off of Selma's shoulder, Natalie called out.

"Daichi! Come here, I --ahh!"

Her arms were raked across and the rest of her hit hard, still, she fought to stay awake.

"I need you to help me, please?"

Selma moved to Natalie and lifted her into her arms, holding her protectively as she once more began dodging more of the thorns and vines, trying not to jar the injured girl in her arms.

"Natalie, let me help you... Please." Selma said, looking to the girl worriedly.

[Silver Knight]

Limping off of Selma's shoulder, Natalie called out.

OOC: crap Kekowa's kicking the thorn elemental in the face right now leaving you unprotected. Damn:o

"Hey lex ready another one of those sorrow drives and push it back when I say." Kekowa dropped down and swept the Thorn's leggs out fromunder the wobbly monster causing it to fall "Now!"

[Miburohunter929]

Peter followed the thorns with his eyes, "CRUSH!"

The sudden increase in gravity yanked the thorns to the ground, or at least most of them.

While the guitarist had saved Dean from sure death, there was still the unsure death of the spikes skidding along the ground at the fighter.

"Crap." Dean said with a sigh, as the avalance of thorns tumbling towards him.

As one thorn crashed towards him, he hit it with a haymaker on it's dull side, sending it flying into a small group of thorns, throwing them off path. However, this was not enough to stop the whole group of thorns.

Dean quickly rolled out of the way of one thorn, and hoped over another, missing them by the narrowest of Margins. Before he could move, another thorn hit him in the torso, sending him flying backwards, causing him to miss the point of one of the thorns he avoided earlier by the narrowest of margins.

He quickly raked his brain as he attempted to figure out a way not to die.

[Yun Lao]

"Close!" Twirling the monk's spade about him, he knocked aside several of the falling rainshower of thorns. Ribbons of blood trailed the small thorns still in his hands, making his grip grow slippery.

[Ghost]

OOC: ...away from the chasm. :confused: And FYI! The method of death/defeat has been chosen! Just do your thing, people. You'll see. ;)
.

OOC: I really like the chasm, myself. It's a classic monster death.

[Chou Blaster]

Limping off of Selma's shoulder, Natalie called out.

"Daichi! Come here, I --ahh!"

Her arms were raked across and the rest of her hit hard, still, she fought to stay awake.

"I need you to help me, please?"

EDITED!

Natalie! No no no I got to do it!

:As Selma had grabbed her first he spoke;
"Natlaie, what is it excaltly I can help? Because I am willing to do so.

:Then he looked to the sky and grabs both the girls an dbegan to mvoe at great speeds to save them from the raining thorn volley.:

"Wed can hlep each other, together."


:As Ramon meanwhile appears and repulse fields thorns bakc into the thor monster.:

OOC: But....isn't the elemental facing towards the chasm?

Alexia rammed into the thorn creature, trying to keep it off balance while trying to escape the deadly projectiles at the same time.

[Ghost]

OOC: But....isn't the elemental facing towards the chasm?

Alexia rammed into the thorn creature, trying to keep it off balance while trying to escape the deadly projectiles at the same time.

Furiously blocking thorns left and right, Rhia edged closer to Alexia. "Lex! You alright?"

[Eternal Torment]

Furiously blocking thorns left and right, Rhia edged closer to Alexia. "Lex! You alright?"

"My arm's been cut up pretty bad, but it's alright. Knock it over!" Alexia punched the creature in the stomach again. "Aim for the head this time!"

[Tami]

The witch in spite of her injuries tried to pry her friend's hand away.

"Die Gottin...try to get the mystics together...find Tamiko!"

OOC: Don't worry about it. Better late than never, no?


Wincing as found that some of the thorns had found their way into parts of his hands, Levi turned to see Tamiko. "Tamiko, don't be afraid." He said to her, before glancing back to the creature, "Though as fearsome as it may appear, we will defeat it." Smirking some, he added, "And with you, we can't be beat." After all, she had been the one to defeat one of the Instructors, or at least her trial.

Having tried his best to ease Tamiko's fears, Levi glanced over to Xellos and his plan, understanding what he meant to do. Dashing toward the same leg as Xellos had kicked, he struck it with the flat side of the spade head of his yuèyáchan.

Steeling herself up, she ran after Levi, summoning her spear in the process.

Natalie! No no no I got to do it!

:And for starters Daichi lifted her up and kept a eye out for the thorns that would launch alon gthe ground and he spoke:

"Excaltly how cna I help? Because I am willing to do so."

:A she was aman of few words as always bu tmean swlel and has his options already cooking in that thicck skull of his.:

Edited;

:And it wa snoted he wa smvoing with her in his arms, dodging the raining thorn storm with his speed.:

Natalie had finally noticed a small pattern with the Thorn Monster's movements and actions. It was mostly a hunch, but she needed to know.

"Your Snake Bite, I will need you to use it..."

She reached towards him with a gesture. Using her Astral Avatar, she suddenly hoisted him up with an invisible hand.

"The root, Daichi, sever the root!"

And with a burst of spirit energy made corporeal, she put what she had into Daichi in preparation for letting him fly.

"GO!"

OOC: Fastball Special, Schoolhouse style :)

[Ghost]

"My arm's been cut up pretty bad, but it's alright. Knock it over!" Alexia punched the creature in the stomach again. "Aim for the head this time!"

"Alright!" Rhia replied. This time she put everything she had left into it. "THUNDERSTORM CANNON!" she yelled, sending a crackling bolt of energy straight for the creature's head.

[Tami]

Selma moved to Natalie and lifted her into her arms, holding her protectively as she once more began dodging more of the thorns and vines, trying not to jar the injured girl in her arms.

"Natalie, let me help you... Please." Selma said, looking to the girl worriedly.

Hearing Selma and Natalie, Tamiko changed course and ran over to them. "Oh my god, please don't move. Let me try a healing spell, please!" As Tamiko let go of her spear and it levitated over her head, she clasped her hands together, then started to make a new hand sign.

[Silver Knight]

OOC: Ok im ending this if thats ok;)

Kekowa knew what he must do. He grabbed the Thorn and started running for the chasm The thorn pleted Kekowa's back with thorns but kekowa held on, he sqeezed tighter and in momenst he was at the cliffs edge. HE lept as high and as hard as he could going several feet into the air. He let go and while he placed one foot on the monsters gut he kicked it head hard and made a leap back toward the edge. As he came closer back to the edge he could see the monster fall deep into the crevice. He came closer and barly made the edge however he fell akward and rolled several feet. Kekowa lied on the ground resting from the pain. "Wow that was more painful than I'd hoped."

[Yun Lao]

The monk's spade was stuck into the ground as Levi tore long strips from his cheongsam's frontal flap. Tying it around his hands, he clenched both only to still see a small trickle of crimson drip. "Looks like I'll have to rely on my hands and feet alone..."

Ki once more entered his body, muscles and veins pressed against the surface of his flesh. Sparks of electrical energy danced about him as his ki not only gathered in his right palm, but now his left. Planting his right foot down in a stomp, Levi took a horse stance before the creature. Thrusting both palms forward, heels touching, the twin orbs of ki ignited as the double open palms struck the creature's leg, erupting into a neon green light.

Natalie grabbed Tamiko's hand in a weak grip.

"No, not now, Tamiko! Save your energy, use it to sever the root, see what Herr Daichi has done?"
