[Flipz]

QM Note: Upon re-reading the Mage's SHIELD skill, I realized that Terry's Magic Burst last Round should have indeed been of Wind; I have rectified the error in the earlier Round.

QM Note: I'd be happy to autoroll a bit, if I can get some actions declared and no one objects.

>Boris vs. Juvenile Coelophysus Mob A - Special Damage (Cry for Help - Mob A: +1 member)

Mac does nothing

Terry arrives on the Southwest front

Torald lands another spectacular hit, so powerful it inadvertently knocks the Coelophysus out of the way of Kheyli's strike. Sakurai tries to get in close to finish the job, but the verminous reptile rebuffs him. Ezeran, perhaps overenthused by the closeness of victory, inadvertently releases a burst of ineffective magical energy, allowing the Coelophysus time to cry for help. Terry arrives from the other front, resuming command as Party Leader.

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; each party's Free Hits are separate. Mobs get an extra Free Hit if there are more members of the mob than standing party members.

NOTE: Any party member can switch to the other half of the battle by spending a turn, but you will only get experience once during this dual battle. If all party members on a front are Knocked Out, the remaining enemies will join the other front.

[Waterbrick Down]

Boris takes a swing at the mob from the back row. "Hey there Terry, take it things are going well on the other side?"

[JimBee]

Jinnipher looks over at Terry, who goes to help the others. She's left all alone to fight the Tyranosaur. "Hmph, about time he stopped doubting me. I could have handled this myself from the beginning."

She stands firm and braces herself for the dinosaur's last-ditch effort, in the front row.

[MysticModulus]

Ezeran repeats.

[Endgame]

Boris takes a swing at the mob from the back row. "Hey there Terry, take it things are going well on the other side?"

"The tyrannosaur got so much poison in its blood that it'll drop dead no matter what. Jinnipher wants her blade to get the kill and not the poison, though. We've just 'bout wrapped this up. Boris, Ezeran, Kheyli, Torald, Mac, Sakurai... How 'bout we end this?"

Terry fires a wind spell at the Coelyphysis Mob from the back row.

Round 7 of Terror at Timehenge (Northeast):

Jinnipher does nothing

Juvenile Tyrannosaur Poisoned: -5 health

Alone with the mighty Tyrannosaur, Jinnipher is the only witness to its final moments. With a mighty roar that suddenly goes silent, the beast takes one step, two, before beginning to fall. Jinnipher watches the life leave its eyes as its enormous head plunges toward her--but a quick bash of her shield knocks it aside, leaving the elven Knight unharmed.

Round 7 of Terror at Timehenge (Southwest):

Mac does nothing

>Sakurai vs. Juvenile Coelophysus Mob A (twice) - Dual Hit (Juvenile Coelophysus Mob A: 1 hit + 1 hit = 2 hits

>Terry (Wind) vs. Juvenile Coelophysus Mob A - Great Spell (Juvenile Coelophysus Mob A: 1 hit (KO!); Terry: -1 Ether)

>Boris vs. Juvenile Coelophysus Mob A -

Torald vs. Juvenile Coelophysus Mob A -

Kheyli vs Juvenile Coelophysus Mob A -

Ezeran vs. Juvenile Coelophysus Mob A -

With a trio of quick strikes, the reinforcements from the northeast bring the battle to a swift end.

THE BATTLE IS VICTORIOUS! All party members gain experience. Boris is now Level 10 and may equip a second Artifact! The enemies drop a bunch of loot.

Note: Mac does not deal or take damage from enemies and cannot prevent Free Hits.

As the last of the lizards finally falls, Sakurai quickly begins to search through the creatures' remains, throwing everything he doesn't need to Mac. He growls in frustration, apparently unable to shift the tyrannosaur's body with both hands full.

"Here, hold this," he says, handing his staff to Jinnipher while sheathing his sword. At last, the Sorcerer finds what he's searching for. "Finally!" he cheers, hefting his claimed Adamantite shard, unaware of the shimmering mist that begins to flow across the ground. "With this, I'll be strong enough. With this, I can finally afford to try and take on--"

The party is completely surrounded by the fog. An unfamiliar figure rises atop the nearby ridge, its armor gleaming amidst the glowing mist, its echoing voice booming as it addresses the party.

"Who dares disturb this hallowed place? Beware, for thou hast earned my wrath!"

"...the Mirage Knight..."

The Mirage Knight fades into the mist, then appears at the party's level and begins to approach...from every side. In its hand it holds a gleaming, golden scythe, precisely poised to penetrate all of their defenses, as its golden cloak seems to shimmer in the mist. As the mist curls around them, the party notices a strange magical barrier surrounding their opponent (opponents?), as if for some reason the being had become temporarily Immortal...

"I...don't think we can fight this one, Heroes."

Even as Sakurai prepares to throw a Smoke Bomb, he seems to be counting...

"six, seven, eight...wait, eight? That's at least two more than the last time I saw this guy. Some of these must be illusions. If even one of you can land a solid hit on an illusion, we'll have a direction to run once I throw this thing. Until then, though, we're trapped."

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; each party's Free Hits are separate. Mobs get an extra Free Hit if there are more members of the mob than standing party members.

"Sakurai... You make bad decisions and worse enemies...!

Listen, Mirage Knight, we didn't mean any harm... We didn'tg even know these were hallowed grounds!"

[Waterbrick Down]

OoC: I take it, we're not going to get an explanation of what the Immortal effect is?

"I don't think there going to be the talking types, Terry." Boris kept his distance from the knights but kept his eye on Mirage Knight D. "We could all try targetting different ones in hopes one of us will break through. Could try a bomb, but no telling what these things are immune to. Conversely we could have Torald use his Tiger Balm in hopes that it'll render one them at least open for attack."

QM Note: The Immortal effect is the same as that granted by the Immortal challenge in the Fields of Glory--the enemy cannot be damaged or inflicted with negative effects until all others are defeated.

OoC: Still slightly confused from a mechanics point, so the illusion will drop if we actually hit one of the enemies even though they won't take any damage, or we have to make them vulnerable before we can even hit them? Just asking because I don't want Torald to have to waste a good consumable if he doesn't have to.

Boris stared at the mirages but they went in and out of focus until he couldn't be sure what was real and what wasn't. "Torald, we may be needing that Tiger Balm of yours."

QM Note: The illusion(s) will be disrupted even though the Mirage Knight is Immortal; the Mirage Knight just won't lose any health from any hits.

"Any issues with all of us taking on a different target?"

[JimBee]

"Why don't we just throw a bomb? If we do, it has to hit something."

Jinnipher braced herself, grimacing at the amount of enemies - or illusions. Without much thought, she picked Mirage Knight F to charge at with Beheader, front row.

[Alfadas]

Torald hands his Tiger Balm to Boris. "I'm not sure what you are going to do with this, but okay, here you go."

[Endgame]

The lad grits his teeth, and fires an Ice spell at Mirage Knight A.

Ezeran grinds his teeth as the symbiont snarls wildly. "So, we are grave-robbers now? Well I guess we'll have to foil this mirage..." Ezeran casts a wooden spell at Mirage Knight E from the back row.

[Waterbrick Down]

Torald hands his Tiger Balm to Boris. "I'm not sure what you are going to do with this, but okay, here you go."

"Keep it, take on one of the unoccupied knights."
