>Boris vs. Mirage Knight D C - Hit (Mirage Knight C: no effect, Immortal)

Sakurai throws a Smoke Bomb

Jinnipher raises her shield just in case the party can't punch through, but the party's Mages quickly prove themselves more than up to the task. Terry summons a massive ice crystal that hits the ground and bursts, shattering into several shards that slice through all of the illusions before hitting the ground and growing into a great ice wall. Ezeran follows up, his own magic bursting forth from the ground in a flurry of thorned vines that wrap over and reinforce the ice wall.

"No! None shall escape my wrath!"

The Mirage Knight takes a swing at Kheyli, who, due to her proximity to the real enemy, gets stabbed by its scythe. It hurts. A lot. As the ice and vines close in of their own accord, Boris rushes in, bashing their foe back behind the wall and pulling Kheyli to safety just in time. Sakurai throws the Smoke Bomb, and the Mirage Knight howls as his own mists are thwarted by the hazy, polluted smoke, his physical form likewise penned in by the mages' wall. He swings his scythe, seeking to sever and shatter the elemental obstacle.

"RUN!"

THE BATTLE IS SUCCESSFULLY DISCONTINUED!

-------------------------

After five minutes of frenzied flight, the scattered party eventually begins to find their bearings, reconvening not far from the site of their first battle. Mac leans against a tree, panting heavily.

"All right. We shouldn't stay long, but I think now's as good a time as any to catch our breaths, regroup, and divide up this loot. ...five, six, seven--Where's Sakurai?"

Indeed, as Mac stated, the Sorcerer was nowhere to be seen.

"Hmm...must have bolted a different direction in all the chaos. I'm...sure he'll be fine. He's wily. More importantly, our own wonder wizards made it out. That was amazin' what you managed back there. Well done. You, too, Mr. Bruhalv. Beatin' him off at the last second--I don't think I could've managed that even when I was half my age. Hel, Torald and Kheyli were pretty impressive against the little lizards, too. You lot are somethin' special, that's for sure. I wish I had somethin' more for ya, but for now I can only give you what's already yours."

Mac spreads out the loot from the party's previous battle.

[JimBee]

Jinnipher crossed her arms, disappointed that they didn't get to fight the Mirage Knight. "Well, is that it? We just need to turn in these bones for some coin and be on our way."

[Endgame]

Panting heavily, Terry runs out and reconvenes with his group, hoping the Mirage knight wouldn't pursue.

"Huff... Good job, everyone. Especially you folks out took out the Coelysphises. I think those fellas were tougher than that big dumb tyrannosaur, and you guys pulled out fine. You're gonna mkae good heroes down the line. And thanks for the encouragin' words, Mac. You're pretty good at lifting a guy up. Now..."

Ezeran nods "I'm all good!"

[Waterbrick Down]

"Won't we be just selling all the bones for a lump sum anyways?" Boris slips on the Defender's Ring. "I'm fine with the loot long as I get a good look at one of these 'hats' the sorceress is supposed to have for us."

"All right, now let's get back to Kiri before--"

The party turns to head back the way they came, only to see their path blocked by four beings, seemingly some kind of spirits made of pure elemental power.

"Auster spoke truth. The defiling mortals truly thought themselves quick enough to escape."

"Indeed, brother Indrito. They show great arrogance to believe they may escape the spirits' wrath."

"It matters not how they have earned it, sister Arayanita, we shall execute our wrath regardless."

"Have a care, brother Agnito. Their punishment is inexorable, but perhaps they shall exhibit remorse before their demise. Even brother Indrito is not so hasty as to refuse Regret's due."

"Indeed not, revered Varunata. But neither shall I wait forever. When I strike, it shall be swift and true, and shall be their end."

Varunata gazes impassively down upon the assembled Heroes.

"Speak swiftly, sinners. Your judgement awaits."

What shall the party say or do?

Edited September 28, 2015 by Flipz

[Waterbrick Down]

Boris nonchalantly passes behind Kheyli, healing her at the cost of 1 ether. "You would pass judgement on those who were given no forewarning of the committing of a crime? If we have indeed trespassed upon revered ground, then it is you that have done a poor job in communicating its sacredness beforehand. Tell us whose, reverence we impede upon and then we might have discourse as to if there is fault."

[Endgame]

I discreetly equip my Murine cloak, sweating - and not just because of the raw fire elemental standing before us.

"...Before I say anythin', know thatI respect whichever court you come from. No doubt you have righteous intentions.

But we had no idea about the sacredness of this land. It has been used by Heroicans as a poaching ground for years now, so I'm told - and we weren't even lead here of our own free will. How can a crime be committed if the law was never presented to us?"

[JimBee]

Jinnipher tries her best to sound diplomatic towards the elementals, hiding her disbelief that they really weren't just common thieves in disguise. "My colleagues here are right, if you didn't want us to walk here then you should have said so earlier. You didn't seem to mind when we were fighting those giant lizards or the Mirage Knight - perhaps you foolishly thought they would weaken us and we'd be easier to rob. Then you would've thought wrong. Now look, it's been a long day. Let us pass and we won't set foot on these grounds again. Even if I wanted to."

[K-Nut]

Kheyli stays silent in the back, quickly taking a potion.

[MysticModulus]

Ezeran squints his eyes and looks at the beings in front of them. "Are you always so eager to defile sacred grounds by acts of blind physical violence? Your actions as presumed guardians is more telling than our honest mistake of treading these grounds."

[Alfadas]

Torald thinks it wise to keep out of this. He quietly takes a few steps back, not sure what to do.

[Flipz]

QM Note: As it currently stands, my real life is getting in the way of hosting. I apologize for the inconvenience and frequent delays, and to make it up to you I've decided to make all loot from this battle guaranteed, rather than rolled randomly. I will also be seeking out a substitute QM to roll the Rounds of this battle for you, so I can throw what time I have available into the story updates. Again, I am deeply sorry that my RL problems are affecting you guys.

Also, double-check everything and let me know if I've screwed up anything stats-wise; I'm typing this up at about 2:00 am my time after a very long few days, so odds are I've screwed at least something up.

Boris nonchalantly passes behind Kheyli, healing her at the cost of 1 ether.

Kheyli stays silent in the back, quickly taking a potion.

Kheyli goes to drink a Potion, but finds that Boris has gotten there first, healing her to full health.

"You would pass judgement on those who were given no forewarning of the committing of a crime? If we have indeed trespassed upon revered ground, then it is you that have done a poor job in communicating its sacredness beforehand. Tell us whose, reverence we impede upon and then we might have discourse as to if there is fault."

I discreetly equip my Murine cloak, sweating - and not just because of the raw fire elemental standing before us.

"...Before I say anythin', know thatI respect whichever court you come from. No doubt you have righteous intentions.

Now look, it's been a long day. Let us pass and we won't set foot on these grounds again. Even if I wanted to."

"Ha ha ha ha ha! Such slowness of mind! They truly do not understand their trespasses, do they? Perhaps the merchant and the barbarians carry an inkling of regret, but it seems we have not denied the Master a true offering."

"I find their arrogange appalling. How dare they think that the claims of their kind bear any real meaning? The spirits own all, life and land, and any place we deem worthy to tread is sacred in its own way. It is arrogance to assume that those lands untainted by your touch belong to no one, and are open for your kind to tread upon and destroy as you please."

"Attribute not to malice what may be explained by ignorance. I believe they speak the truth when they say they did not know their crimes. They do not even recognize the trespasses of slaughter they visited upon the lands in which they have tread. It is truly sad that their souls of their species have grown silent to the symphony of the spirits. I shall show you my mercy, in that when we have freed your souls from the prison of mortal flesh, I will claim them unto me, to serve the symphony as my spiritual servants."

Arayanita gestures grandly, causing the weather in the forest to grow Lush and verdant. Varunata shakes his head amusedly.

"You are generous, sister. But I believe them to be beyond recovery. Still, I, too, shall grant them mercy: under my power, they shall never know the pain of death." The spirit turns his head to address the party. "When you die, you shall not know, and instead shall believe yourself locked in this moment of battle for all eternity, fulfilling the fate you have chosen for yourselves." The spirit looks expectantly at its brethren, awaiting their answers.

Indrito is the first of the remaining two to respond.

"Ha Very well, Revered One. Though I share not your opinion, I shall share your judgment. My mercy shall be this: their end shall be swift, swifter than the sting of death shall strike; no pain shall they feel as their life flashes away."

"They'll get no sympathy from me. There shall be nothing left once my vengeance has burned through them."

Varunata nods.

"Very well. It shall be a contest of whose influence is in play when the mortals expire. May you exert your will well, brethren; our sister has already claimed an early lead."

It seems the party has no choice but to...

Party Leader, choose the order of action.

All of you, choose your targets and the row you want to fight in. Also mention if you want to try to flee, heal or cast a magic spell, or if you want to use an item instead of attacking.

Any enemy not targeted will get a Free Hit on the party after everyone has acted. Mobs get an extra Free Hit if there are more members of the mob than standing party members.

Ezeran frowns and casts a wooden spell at Agnito, Spirit of Fire from the back row.

OoC: Is Indrito's 2nd special supposed to do 45 damage?

"Spirits and souls, I don't know where you got your theology, but I definitely think you missed your catechism." Boris charged at Varunata from the front row.

Torald grabs his weapon and charges in. Torald attacks Arayanita, front row.

QM Note: No, no it is not. Fixed it along with Boris' Ether.

[Endgame]

Terry should have 2 defense.

"And what gives you the right? Spirits just inherently better than us flesh and bone folks, huh?

Torald, up to you, but these guys will knock you out cold if you attack from the front. Ezeran... This battle is gonna stink worse than an unwashed hog in a crowded barn, 'cause these ethereal types will nullify any element they ain't weak to. Your wood spells won't hurt 'em. Gotta attack physically. However, much as it pains me to do it, since Arayanita is the only one with a level head on, my ice should affect her just fine..

Y'all physical attackin' folk? Go nuts on 'em. That means you, Kheyli, Torald, and Jinnipher , but I don't think I need to tell you twice... Boris, whether its suckin' blood or healin' or bashin' skulls, just do what's best."

Terry casts an ice spell on Arayanita from the back row.

Mac inspires Ezeran.

"Eh, if they're spirits, not much blood to take." Boris smiled, "I'm still learning, but wouldn't Ezeran's spell work in this Lush environment?"

"Eh, if they're spirits, not much blood to take." Boris smiled, "I'm still learning, but wouldn't Ezeran's spell work in this Lush environment?"

"I'm unsure. Does doubling the damage technically make 'em elementally weak to it?"

[Waterbrick Down]

"You're the wizard."

"You're the wizard."

"I, uh, kinda sorta discovered that by accident. I was washing a pig, an' then a stream of wind and water burst out of my hands..."

[JimBee]

"Kheyli, why don't you take on Sparky with me?"

Jinnipher yells and charges at Indrito from the front row with The Beheader.

[K-Nut]

"I was hoping you'd say that," Kheyli attacks Indrito from the Front Row.
