Argath yelled in triumph when his spear shattered the crystals on the Fresk's arm. Caspin confirmed for the group that it nullified it's ability to absorb magic. But now the creature was probably going to be extremely pissed at him, so he took a defensive stance.
------------------- Defend.

Letting out a sigh as he saw both dingos raise to their feet, Prasad took aim at his current target and prepared to fire. However, the sight of the udrafresk still being within grabbing range gave him pause, and with a shrug he decided against staying put, refraining from attacking for the moment in order to back away to a safer distance.
------------------ Move to medium range from udrafresk.

Docus felt a crackle of magical energy in the air, the power that Fie and Caspin were summoning. It had been a while since he'd felt anything close to that, and he relished it, dove into it and into himself. For a moment, just a moment, he let himself drift, enjoying the familiar sensation of mages in concert, thinking back to his 2 years at the university, practicing with other Tarut, feeling part of a vast network of minds as he cast in unison with dozens of his kin, learning, exploring Magic together.
Those had been good times. He'd really understood the concepts of unity, of alliance during those first few months of learning. He'd known the theory, of course, had studied it exhaustively, but the feeling of safety, of security at the presence of others, the feeling of standing united, and the power of the group, he'd only really understood them when he'd been part of that class of barely 30. Not a large group. Not a strong group. But united. And sufficient. His eyes opened, glowing with magic that he was once again tapped into and he looked around at the ongoing struggle. Once again, he was part of a group. Not all mages this one. Barely half a dozen, conflicted, struggling against each other as much as their foes. Not a large group, certainly. Not particularly powerful. Not even that reliable. But right here, right now, facing this threat, they were united. And they would suffice. He raised a small hand, again preparing his one spell, letting the magic gather, focusing it the way he had learned in concert with three dozen other mages, letting the memory wash over him one more time, then unleashing the spell just as the other two mages unleashed theirs. ---- Docus. Fire. Body. Make happen. |

Slashing with dagger and massive knife alike, Vera and Jade each bring down the dingos closest to them, and, though their wounds continue to heal, neither gets up. At least not immediately.
The dingo near the Udrafresk, meanwhile, continues its attempt to bring down the massive creature, only to be blocked once more by its left arm, though this time the creature doesn't expend any energy throwing it away, instead striking down toward Argath with a crushing blow, which, thanks to his readiness only glances against him. Though the cracked earth at his feet tells him just how lucky he is to still be alive. He can't contemplate that for long, however, as a streak of energy zigs through the battlefield to blast into the Udrafresk's body, followed swiftly by flames and a small tornado, that leaves the large creature bleeding from multiple tears and cuts all over his body. With an enraged roar it looks directly toward Fie and Docus, its next targets apparently decided. ---------------- PC Round 5 Vera- 10 Damage, Dingo 2.

"Woo! That's the stuff, right there!" Prasad exclaimed, seeing the noticeable hurt the mages had put on the udrafresk, firing off a volley at the monster's body, "Do that again! Vera, Jade, make sure those dingos stay out of this permanently, and Argath: MOVE!"
Things were certainly looking up, and while the moogle didn't usually consider himself leadership material, he certainly wasn't going to let anything stand between him and getting paid. He just hoped that injured arm was still in good enough condition. Not coming out of this with a cute new secretary would just be a bummer. ------------------ Attack Udrafresk's body.

Fie stared down the Udrafresk, the bulk of its anger focused on himself and Docus. In a flash of a second the teachings of his mentor intoned in his mind.
"Remember, a dead white mage is a healer of no one." Professor Berlion's heels clicked as he paced endlessly in front of the podium. "Your comrade's success depends entirely upon your ability to know when to run and survive." He pivoted, and continued back the other way. "But then again, there is the time to know when to take a stand. To show no fear in what could be your last seconds, for the red of our cloak symbolizes nothing other than bloody sacrifice itself." He stopped and turned again. Midway, just as he passed the podium for the hundredth time that hour, he turned on his heel. "FIE! Should the very bowels of hell turn on you as your comrades bleed about you, what course of action would you take?" "...I will stand." Fie began to channel the energies for another blast of wind, ready to still the whirling gusts should the beast fall before he could finish. It wouldn't do to ruin such a specimen. "Docus, you should move while you can. It can only chase one of us." -- Aero on Udrafresk body, cancel if dead before cast goes off.

"FIRE!"
Lasers arced from Caspin's body as he let out a maniacal cackle, his deep set grin bringing him deep into the mind of battle, he was hungry for more. His mind was racing like the first time he had been taken out hunting with his old master, the short stubby creature, it's tongue lolling out so that when he spoke it was with a terrible lisp, but his unassuming appearance masked a ferocity in battle unquestionable by any means. And he taught him to be much the same, "Not down yet eh?! Well, we'll fix that!" He stepped forward ever so slightly and brought his hands in readying his next shot, the glow creeping into his fingertips, his eyes awash with madness. ---------- Short distance move, begin casting Homing Laser, target Udrafresk body.

Docus met Fie's gaze, smiled as the magical energies started to gather again. It was tempting, certainly. The Fresk was large and frightening, and Docus was not very tall. But he had heard his fellow mage whisper that he would stand, and however great Docus' fear was, this was his alliance now. This was his tribe. He couldn't run, even if he wanted to.
Tarut were rarely, if ever, strong on their own. A people of spellweavers, weak in flesh and strong in mind, an ancient race, but a short-lived one. Since they could remember (and, this being a race of scholars, they could remember quite far), they'd banded together, lived in tribes, then tribes of tribes, forming a nation. Ultimately, they'd always stood together. There'd been conflict, of course, strife between individuals, conflicts between tribes, civil wars, even. But in the end, at the most basic level, there had always been a feeling of unity, a belief in the Tarutaru alliance. They had always stood together. And ultimately, they always would... There was a saying, a simple saying, more of a play on words than a piece of wisdom... "Art taru su elnim tu saru" he replied, smiling gently. "We are Tarut, we stand together". Then he raised his staff at the roaring beast, focused his magic through it, and let loose a blast of fire. ---- Standard-action fire on fresk body. Last edited by Geminex; 02-04-2011 at 05:30 PM. |

Argath moved away as the creature's arm came crashing down. The blow grazed him, and left the earth beneath his feet cracked. That would've hurt if it had been a direct hit.
Suddenly, the creature was struck by the magical onslaught unleashed by the three mages, and the Fresk now seemed intent on paying them back. That was unnaceptable. Ignoring his condition, Argath lunged at the bastard. At the same time, Zephyr attempted to chomp down on the Udrafresk's foot.

Taking aim, Prasad fires with intent to take down the Udrafresk with hot lead, but the creature's arm makes its way infront of the bullets before they can reach their mark, the small bronze pellets ricocheting off of the creature's stony armor with minimal damage. A fate shared by Argath's spear, which finds itself entangled in rocky protrusions that twist the weapon out of his hand as the Udrafresk convulses in pain, flames erupting from his body.
The freed weapon flys through the air in a graceful piourette before stabbing into the ground a few feet from the warrior woman Jade just as she delivers a death blow to the dingo near her, freeing her to move her attention to the large ape like creature, who is staring at the mages with a bestial rage. An act that is not lost on Vera who quickly decides, with all this talk of standing ground and what not, that discretion is the better part of valor, particularly wounded as she is, and moves further from the Udrafresk and the battle in general. And perhaps she was right to do so as the Udrafresk slams his hands into a nearby tree, tearing it from the ground, as he ignores yet another attack from the Dingo. The sound of cracking wood is quickly amplified by the sound of buzzing bees as a number of the creatures begin to swarm out just as the monsterous ape flings the trunk with all of his might toward Docus, Fie, and the Dingo unlucky enough to just be regaining his footing, a rain of splinters and heavy wood throwing them all to the ground, and killing the unfortunate dog, even as a small swarm of bees flows out of their shattered hive. It is mere moments after the hive shatters, however, that another laser blasts against the Udrafresk. The great beast turns toward Caspin, and waves for a moment, before falling forward, unconscious. ------------------- PC Round 6 Ninja Roll Bust Wears Off. Prasad- 4 Damage, Udrafresk Left Arm. Docus- 19 Damage, Udrafresk. Argath- Miss, Critical Failure, Disarmed. Argath's spear moves a medium distance past the Udrafresk, near Jade. Zephyr- 0 Damage, Udrafresk Jade- Finishes Dingo 6 Vera- Moves a medium distance away from the battle in general Udrafresk - (-112)/??? Udrafresk Right arm- (-48)/?? - DOWN Udrafresk Left Arm - (-7)/?? Dingo 2- -1/45 Dingo 6- Dead Dingo 5 - 36/45 Vera- 12/23 Jade- 19/27 Argath- 9/25 Caspin- 17/23 ------------------- NPC Round 6 Udrafresk- 12 Damage Fie, 9 Damage Docus, 12 Damage Dingo 2 (dead... regens are at the end of turn). Knockback Docus and Fie. Fie's casting interrupted. Dingo 5- 5 Damage Udrafresk Left arm Udrafresk - (-112)/??? Udrafresk Right arm- (-48)/?? - DOWN Udrafresk Left Arm - (-12)/?? Dingo 2- Dead Dingo 5 - 41/45 Vera- 12/23 Jade- 19/27 Argath- 9/25 Caspin- 17/23 Fie- 8/20 Docus- 12/21 KILLER BEEs 1, 2, 3, AND 4 ENTER THE BATTLE. Short Range from Docus and Fie. Long Range from Caspin. Medium range from Jade, Vera, Argath, and Prasad. ------------------- PC Round 7 Caspin- 26 Damage, Udrafresk Udrafresk (-138), DOWN Dingo 5 - 41/45 Vera- 12/23 Jade- 19/27 Argath- 9/25 Caspin- 17/23 Fie- 8/20 Docus- 12/21
