@ Redstone and @ Spiritmon
No mercy or attempts at subtly with these creatures of CHAOS?
Good.
They don't deserve it.
Not after what IT DID.
Let the purge begin.
Music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPZ5Cxfu...qR&index=3 (At DOOM's Gate - DOOM 2016 OST)
Alright, let me lay out a few things first that will factor into why I'm conducting this first 'Round' of Combat
- Right now you're currently just outside the Safe Zone , with Oz doing the scouting . Since neither of you specified attempting to get closer, I'm assuming you're attacking at Range or otherwise have the means to get to-and-from the Safe Zone FAST.
- If you Mon uses a Non-Ranged Move, I'll figure something else out for it to still be useful.
- The NPCs besides The Priestess and BLs are defending the Safe Zone. The former is lending her aid to Oz (if necessary), while the later are making their own attempt to sneak closer to Ambush the Leader
Now with that out of the way -
Oz centers herself, forcefully dispelling the EFFECT the Sand-Goth had on her with ease now that you were prepared for it. Compared to Taking Control handling that....well it was still unpleasant, but easy. The fact that your Confusion seemed to help blunt the worst of the mental contamination is an unexpected bonus too.
Then, she raises her staff, the head of it taking on a baby-blue hue.
Life Dew
(4)(1)(3)(6)(6) (1)(5)(2)(1)(4) (4)(6)(5)(6)(6)
You lower your staff slight and a brilliant bead of Healing Water drips right on, splashing onto the sand and spreading out to cover EVERYONE. Life Dew in effect for ALL! It also seems to be having a minor effect of counteracting the CHAOS and corruption of the land itself too, judging by the feeling of purification you get!
This immediately causes the Sand-Goth to SNAP its attention towards you, throwing aside its horrifying meal as all its abominable eyes fix on YOU.
It lets out as _________
A sound so horrifying your mind automatically blocks most of it out. What you did catch, though, was its Surprise and then ANGER.
The party is quickly coming to a stop as its minions jerk out of their revelry and begin to crawl over towards you, with some charging up what looked like Shadow Balls. The only two that didn't do anything were the two T.C. Palossands with the boy, who....*melded* to form a barrier around him.
At this Akamu is quick to get his Sea Drake and Urchin to deploy their own set-up quickly, before the horde arrives
Mist
(4)(2)(2) (4)(5)(-) (-)(-)(-)
Rain Dance
(3)(4)(1)
Thick, impenatrable and cloudy Mist blankets the entire Safe Zone and the Sand-Goth's 'party' - and then the storm comes. Black clouds gather in an instant and let loose an unrelenting torrent of Rain. Heavy Rain in Effect: + 2 Damage to Water Moves and 'Wind/Spray' Moves and 1.5X BP for them too, Fire Moves and 'Gritty' Moves BP slashed in half and suffer - 2 Damage, various interactions with Moves/Environment, and Water Type/Wind-Spray Type have Extra Range and Increased Lethality while Fire and 'Gritty' Moves have reduced Ranged and Lethality.
The area soon goes almost pitch-black due to the cloud-cover, but the Priestess and Oz radiant POWER and Aura lights things up enough for you and your allies to not have any Accuracy Penalties. Dark and Ghost Type Moves gain + 1 Damage Dice and Accuracy as a Consequence of the turbulent and fell interactions the Weather has with this CHAOS Zone.
The Heavy Rain douses the fell flames and Stuns the C.T. Nucklavee as they fall over from the shock! The sheer force of it feels like get constantly getting punched all over - the heavens were furious at this monstrosity, and making its wrath KNOWN. The nearby sea churns and froths as its stirred and empowered by the Weather, causing the weaker Fish Mons to Flee back to the depths....
*Rolls* .....A HUGE WAVE sweeps across entire area, dealing 2 Water Type Damage to Oz, Fortuna, Akamu, Nalu, Ecclessia, Gloomtail, and the ENTIRE Sand-Goth Horde! The pitiful remnants of people recoil and let out agonized moans as the Water sweeps over them, their Cursed bodies beginning to break apart from the purifying salt-water and Life Dew combination. The Sand-Goth, however, seemingly RELSIHES the Water, ITs size slowly but surely SWELLING and GROWING and BULKING UP as it became more and more hydrated.
The sand beneath your feet is starting to get even MORE boggy and soupy - No Effect right NOW, but if you don't finish things quick the Heavy Rain will turn the beach into a swampy delta that'll sink EVERYONE.
Gloomtail broods in the Safe Zone, [DISPLEASED] at being looked over for a mere small fry for kicking things off against this monstrous horde...
Loyalty: (4) + (5)(6)(4)
Disobedience: (4)(5)(5)(6)(-) + (*6)
....And immediately lets loose a * R O A R * that shakes the very sand and all your bones!
Howl
*Rolls*
+ 1 STR to ALL Allied Combatants - Trigger it's Moxie!
Intimidation vs TCPs
*Rolls* *Rolls*
Theses damned souls can't be Terrified or cowed, but even in their wretched state they hesistant at the LEGENDARY IRE and DARK DOMINANCE radianting outward from the Otherworld Dragon: - 1 Damage and Accuracy for ALL Actions!
Gloomtail beings to *STOMP* onto the battlefield, deciding that if you're not going to work with it then He's going to be taking a bit of Initiative for Himself.
The Bountiful Raven is near invisible in the Stormy Rain, but she makes her presence clear as she directs the winds to dice these wretched golems and free their SOULs!
Lethal Air Cutter
(3)(1)(6) (2)(5)(6) (5)(4)(4) The black wind blows. Critical Hit
SPE 4 + *3 + STAB + MB + 2 HR - 2 INS = 7D6 + 2D6 + 2 Damage
(6)(6)(3)(2) (2)(2)(6) + (4)(1) + 2 ALL TCPs take 6 Lethal Damage; -1/2 HP, - 3 Pain, 6 Lethal Damage!
The Move seemed to phase right through the Sand-Goth to No Effect! Or rather, it regenerated it away in a blink! *Rolls* Seems like all ITS minions sagged for a moment after and took an Action on its part to do this....
(2)(1)(4) Nope
Despite the grievous damage done to them the horde was STILL alive somehow, their burbling moans, hellish shrieks, and unending lamentation raising to a whole new level of RAW CURSED AGONY. Seems like you have to do more than just merely Faint these poor SOULs to subdue them...
EVERY single Palossand but the two guarding the boy formed BIG spheres of malevolent energy, super-charged by their own suffering and the pitch-black Weather. As one they let loose a barrage of Shadow Balls, each of them pulsing with CURSED and CHAOTIC HATE and PAIN that each promises to share!
(1)(4)(2)(3) (3)(6)(1)(4) (4)(2)(3)(6) (1)(1)(4)
Priestess' Aid: *Rolls*
....But the Shadow Balls are stopped cold as they crash into a barrier of pure Magic, which was furthered empowered by the floating Miko! Each and every one of them exploded harmlessly against it, their Cursed energy rendered completely impotent as it was rapidly destroyed by Oz' and the Priestess' combined power!
The Priestess loses 2 Will; 24/30 Remaining
Ecclessia lets loose a *SKREEEEEE!* as she FLARES WITH AWESOME OBLITERATING DRACONIC POWER, opening her mouth wide and forming a vividly orange sphere before with *Whip!* from her long neck she sends it towards the Sand-Goth at blistering speed, it breaking up into a shower of - !
DRACO METEOR
(6)(5)(6) (1)(5)(5)
Sand-Goth's Evasion: *2 + 4 + 2 + *(4) - 4 Actions
(5)(1)(3)(3) (3)(6)(3)(4)
STILL HITS!
*Rolls* Sand-Goth takes 5 Damage!
No Stat Drop due to Mist!
Sand-Goth is too far away for Toxic to be able to Hit; instead Nalu uses it on himself to make ANY sort of Contact a BAD IDEA for enemies to make.
The Big Gloomy Dragon lets loose a torrent of black and blue flames onto one of the 'leaders' of the pack of TCPs! Fortuna zooms over to another, pitching down to slice at it with wicked wings.
Dragon Breath
*Rolls* HITS
I'm not going to bother with a Damage Roll - The Targeted Palossand is utterly VAPORIZED, the draconic fire working together with the purifying Life Dew to completely eradicate its existence, freeing the SOUL from its Torment. BDM Triggers again; Gloomtail will gain a Free Action starting next Round.
Night Slash
(4)(5)(3) (4)(6)(6) Snicker-snape. Critical Hit
Again, not bothering with a DR - Another Palossand is laid to rest, its SOUL cleaved from its horrible sandy prision and laid to rest.
It was at this point Oz - the now Grandest Witch of them all - transformed her staff into a Stand-Mike -
Took a *DEEP BREATH*
And S C R E A M E D like a banshee.
(4)(3)(3) (4)(2)(5) (5)(1)(4) (5)(6)
Song of Wonderous Ruin. Critical Hit.
Weaked by the Waves, Wind, and purified Land, your Voice atomized the rest of them, dispelling each and every last one of the TCPs remaining and setting their SOULs free.
Due to Distance from Sand-Goth, Damage of this Move will be Halved against it.
*Rolls* Sand-Goth takes 4 Damage.
Oh, forgot about the Nucklavee - yeah, they're Fainted too. As the demonic beast collapses it flashes bright white before splitting into two - those being the Officer and their Ponyta! By all miracles they're alright....sorta! At least they're not CHAOS spawn anymore, and that 100% a thing worth celebrating LATER!
All Twisted Cursed Palossands are now Eliminated; the boy has been revealed again as the ones guarding it are destroyed, still dead to the world (metaphorically speaking).
The Sand-Goth almost staggered from the shockwaves generated by the Draco Meteors and Disarming Voice, its many HORRID EYES blinking and wincing while its tentacles thrashed in agony.
Then it stilled, as it felt every single one of its minions being Freed from their tortured existence.
"()*)_(*)(@#48719820340(ASD(*AkIOJmqpiaokjm-029i83jujmgvqwior2390-ik4 !!!!"
IT _______________ , its previous carefree, slovenly mirth now gone, replaced with stark raving MADNESS and the very same kind of HATE that animates and fuels its Master.
MULTITUDES of Curse Tentacles erupt from its disgusting form and it * jabs* them all into the sand.
*
////////////////
\\\\\\\\\

\\\\\\\\\\
//////////////
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

The Safe Zone and EVERYONE is pulled towards it, the very distance between you and IT being CRUSHED until it was now LOOMING over the group like a grotesque tower ready to fall on them all!
Sand-Goth has grown Larger now due to the Abudent Water and its CHAOTIC HATRED - Increase HP and unlock new Options. Can Double Its Actions against two targets or one at increased Accuracy Cost due to Increased amount of Tentacles and CHAOTIC MADNESS.
Sand-Goth is no longer able to Negate Damage , as all its minions are now Gone.
Suddenly, the very dimensions begin to distort and twist around you - Trick Room and Embargo have been automatically Set! Sand-Goth will automatically go First. As a side-effect, the land is no longer boggy and hindering land-bound unit movement.
*Rolls* Oz senses a BIG presence lurking beneath the roiling waves, drawn by havoc everyone was bringing.
Initiatives will be Rolled Later - if you still want to make plans without them be flexible when it comes to timing and coordination.
*Rolls* Life Dew Fully Restores everyone's HP and DEALs 4 More Than Lethal Damage to Sand-Goth!
Despite the very space and time around you being made a HATEFUL and MAD plaything of this abomination the rest of your support manages to recover quickly and takes it in stride, all ready to do their part in BRINGING DOWN THIS MONSTER.
All but the Priestess, who winces and starts flickering now that the whole group, Boss, and the very area itself was mangled and Distorted. Increased Will Cost to Intervention for the remainder of this Fight.

The easy part was over.
Now its time to banish the Sand-Goth to the Abyss.

Deepening your arcane wellspring of Power NOW of all times? That's alright, but note that it costs 30X Current Score , not 20X.
Since Dragonstrike hasn't posted, I'm going to assume they're either busy or waiting to see how the distraction turns out before making their own plays. So I'm going to operate under the later assumption, skip over Kusa's and Ceruledge's Actions, and Roll out the first 'set' of Rolls until I get to Seddi's, where I'll pause things to let him/everyone else react and change things. Bit unconvential, but hey, when with Romeo....

Your Amorous Umbrelong needs extremely little encouragement at this point to ravage their/her foes in ALL the right and wrong ways, but that jolt of Will does nicely to galvanize them/her to Complete and Utter Sexual DOMINATION.

Take all that together? Nothing could tear their eyes off Nox as they got closer to their Target, who was instinctively shying away and retreating even though a wretched, damned SOUL as it was should only be experiencing MADNESS, HATE, or SUFFERING.

Lopzu: Misses as she is doing her damndest to Ignore what is going on
'James' and Co: *Rolls* "Hot DAMN!" They Infatuated with Nox.
Citrine: Misses as they pull out a Persim and Lum Berry and chomp down on them to Negate Confusion with a bit of Mind-protective magic mixed in for good measure.
The Twisted Cursed Palossand (# 3) lets out a Confused, Anguished, yet very mixed howl of tortured LUST, before *FWMP-POOF-Flash!* they explodes in a cloud of sand, as their entire existence could not handle the All Powerful LUST poured into it!
ALL but one of the remaining nearby TCPs Flinch, take 2 Damage, and are now Confused! Meanwhile, ONE of them manages to become Infatuated instead of Flinched on top of everything else, their eyes taking on a cyan glow as they fall under the seductive thrall of their new Master (OF LUST)!
Two of the far-away TCPs are Flinched, Damaged, and Confused, 1 also becomes Infatuated, while one manages to Resist the Radioactive Charm with every scrap of anguished Will it had!
Equinox looked somewhat surprised about its potential freaky conquest literally being blown away by their overwhelming Allure, before it slowly pans its gaze over to the rest of the Ghosts as they let out a *Rumble* . Oh well, let's see how the rest of the crowds fairs -
*Rolls* HIT
DMG: STR *5 + *1 + STAB + Extra Lethal (2) - *4 + SE = 5D6 + 1
(4)(4)(3)(6)(2) Nox takes 4 Extra Lethal Damage; 12/12 HP, *3 Pain, 4 Extra Lethal Damage
Nox is completely bowled over as something Manifests from thin air , pinned and Knocked Down with a pair of porcelain covered jaws clamped firmly and *hotly* around their/her neck as it growls down at its Grappled, most Enticing Quarry.
Large - about as big as the werewolves Seddi once saw on the big screen when Poppy dragged him to watch the latest remake of Twilight. Where you would expect fluff instead was black, billowy, ephemeral gas-fur, with long trails of it flowing off in ribbon-like gas-trail strands. Bone-white porcelain armor encased its claws and legs, and it framed their shoulders, belly, and spine, the tip of their Ghastly like tail Paradoxically hardening into a bone-white like bristles at the very tips. Big, wide canine-lupine ears point straight up, dusted with a bit of silver, and their was a sivery, purplish mane that clung and floated around their neck.
Last but not least was their Mask - a dreadful Deer Skull with cruel looking antlers jutting up, with feverish and MAD purple flames for eyes as they leered down HUNGRILY at Nox in BLOOD and LUST.
The Maddened Mask Wolf has revealed itself - it goes 2nd in the Initiative Order.
As mentioned, skipping Kusa and Ceruledge, though I will default to them guarding Seddi if I don't get word soon enough.
Now it's Bern's time to react, but he hesitates just for a second before deciding to Exclude the Masked Wolf from his upcomming Spell? Why? Because with Nox pinned, Knockdown, and Grappled so CLOSELY to them their is no way they can possible NOT bit caught in the crossfire.
That Frustration and anger does serve a good purpose, however - it just makes the artic winds they conjured all the more biting
Icy Wind 1
(4)(6)(6)(3)(5) (3)(6)(4)(-)(4) (-)(4)(3)(6)(5) (-) Chittering laughing send shivers down their grains. Cursed Critical Hit, due to 4 (4)s , Curse Affnity, and ??? Support
10D6 + 2D6 + 1 - Ignore Target's INS due to Curse
(-)(4)(5)(5)(6) (-)(4)(-)(6)(2) + (3)(3) 1
All 5 Nearby Palossand take 6 Lethal Damage; 0/8 HP, - 3 Pain!
All Targets are also Cursed too, and they all lose 1 Will
- 2 DEX to ALL
Despite being frozen solid these demented and tortued creatures are STILL active and Conscious - whatever Curse and Horrors animating them is keeping them in the Fight!
Citrine looks intrigued by the fell and frosty winds you managed to conjure - both Seddi and Bern could tell they were taking mental notes about how to make their Ice Magic as bitter. As they lifted their hands and began intoning a Spell of their own...
*Rolls* HIT
*Rolls*
- They're suddenly pierced by a MASSIVE spade-like spear that emerges just beneath them.
" Aaaaargh - !"
The Water Magi's screams are cut off as the creature that speared them bursts forth from the ground - you could *barely* catch a glimpse of it, but the shape was BIG, brown and black - then just as suddenly they're dragged underground, a massive long hole were the Magi once stood.
*Rolls*
*Rolls*
*Rolls*
*Rolls*
'James' Pokemon are quick to react - his Octillary starts shooting a Bubble Beam down the hole, while Deicideueye, bold as brass, zooms down the whole to pursue *whatever* abducted Citrine and force them back up.
Something, Seddi strongly suspected, was one of the horrendous Land Whales that was the talk of tall tales and grim rumors back at the Staging Zone.
It is now Seddi's 1st Action of the First Round - and here is where I'll leave things for everyone to react to. Order Changes are both allowed and encouraged; after all some preeeetty big shake-up just happened...
Like the wind, I come and go as I please... but I am always there to provide a comforting breeze.

Eventually yet quickly - a common state of affairs in times of war and crisis - this martial and magic mish-mash squad is fully briefed on The Plan and understands their part in it.
Unlike with with Akamu's and Oz's part of the War Band your own is much smaller and the location you're heading relatively more safe than the mind and land bending horrors that awaited in Sand-goths's domain. That made it easier for Oz to bless your party with Lucky Chant, but also apply Field/Buff affects too (Bring them up if you have any!), as well as deciding up what formation you were going in.
Bernhard in the air as Sentry, Scout, and Orbital Bombardment Support.
'James' leading the front, his Octilliry clinging off his body and Deicidueye flying overhead as the Vanguard and first point of contact against enemy forces. Seddi optionally can join him here, though the man insists he's got it covered.
Lopzu is with Seddi, lurking in his shadow and ready to attempt Stealth, Protect Him, or bail him out in a pinch.
Citrine is in the back, waving his hands and chanting as they try to re-direct the malignant energies surrounding you all and mask your approach on the Duo Leaders with obscuring Haze and 'Notice Me Not' mind-magics fields. Obstinsively they're in the back to guard the rear, but you have a feeling they choose that spot to keep their own skin out of the fire as much as possible.
Everyone's shadows occasionally twitch - a tell-tell sign of something tagging along with them....
Seddi could be just about everywhere, though I imagine he's in the center by default with Kusanagi and Ceruledge, as that is the position that can allow him to react and head off against Twisted Cursed Palossands or worse trying to creep up on everyone. Both your blades are dead serious, though the old otter has a twinge of deadly excitement while your animated partner was more focused on guarding her Master with a vengeful protectiveness of her own.
All were ready for their first obstacle in their quest to take down the HATEFUL Sandlossugeist. So without further ado or delay they march, heading out of the Bunker Depot and heading towards the location they know they'll face the twin terrors that feud and terrorize ceaselessly....

6 Twisted, Cursed Palossands directly in front of you, though only one of them was currently facing forward while the rest were catching up.
2 Palossands that were further back - they were alone, but their were signs of activity and an earlier, recently ended Fight.
2 more Palossands, each on opposite sides of a hole with messy splatters of blood on its edges.
Neither Leader was in sight
Contact.
Music: OFF - Pepper Steak [All Levels At Once Remix]
Fight, Run, Distract? Decide quickly.
Seddi would ask Rabsca to put up both Screens and Safeguard before they head in if it wouldn't compromise their stealth attempt. Can never be too safe.
Ceruledge can use the opportunity to Bulk Up as she prepares for battle. If they're going to try an assassination strike, she's going to need all the power she can get.
Kusanagi can sharpen her blades with Swords Dance.
---------
It's quiet.
Too quiet.
And a lone shadow ball bursting through their cover disrupts that quiet!
Bernhard's leveled gauntlet says it all.
Stealth just dropped as an option. It's time for action.

Then she/they Opened Their Eyes Wide

xxx : Miss
Seddi: *Rolls* He Resists it again, though Leaves was tempted to use her version of Heal Bell with how bothered you did become.
Lopzu: Misses as she is doing her damndest to Ignore what is going on
'James' and Co: *Rolls* "Hot DAMN!" They Infatuated with Nox.
Citrine: Misses as they pull out a Persim and Lum Berry and chomp down on them to Negate Confusion with a bit of Mind-protective magic mixed in for good measure.
The Twisted Cursed Palossand (# 3) lets out a Confused, Anguished, yet very mixed howl of tortured LUST, before *FWMP-POOF-Flash!* they explodes in a cloud of sand, as their entire existence could not handle the All Powerful LUST poured into it!
ALL but one of the remaining nearby TCPs Flinch, take 2 Damage, and are now Confused! Meanwhile, ONE of them manages to become Infatuated instead of Flinched on top of everything else, their eyes taking on a cyan glow as they fall under the seductive thrall of their new Master (OF LUST)!
Two of the far-away TCPs are Flinched, Damaged, and Confused, 1 also becomes Infatuated, while one manages to Resist the Radioactive Charm with every scrap of anguished Will it had!
Equinox looked somewhat surprised about its potential freaky conquest literally being blown away by their overwhelming Allure, before it slowly pans its gaze over to the rest of the Ghosts as they let out a *Rumble* . Oh well, let's see how the rest of the crowds fairs -
*Rolls* HIT
DMG: STR *5 + *1 + STAB + Extra Lethal (2) - *4 + SE = 5D6 + 1
(4)(4)(3)(6)(2) Nox takes 4 Extra Lethal Damage; 12/12 HP, *3 Pain, 4 Extra Lethal Damage
Nox is completely bowled over as something Manifests from thin air , pinned and Knocked Down with a pair of porcelain covered jaws clamped firmly and *hotly* around their/her neck as it growls down at its Grappled, most Enticing Quarry.
Large - about as big as the werewolves Seddi once saw on the big screen when Poppy dragged him to watch the latest remake of Twilight. Where you would expect fluff instead was black, billowy, ephemeral gas-fur, with long trails of it flowing off in ribbon-like gas-trail strands. Bone-white porcelain armor encased its claws and legs, and it framed their shoulders, belly, and spine, the tip of their Ghastly like tail Paradoxically hardening into a bone-white like bristles at the very tips. Big, wide canine-lupine ears point straight up, dusted with a bit of silver, and their was a sivery, purplish mane that clung and floated around their neck.
Last but not least was their Mask - a dreadful Deer Skull with cruel looking antlers jutting up, with feverish and MAD purple flames for eyes as they leered down HUNGRILY at Nox in BLOOD and LUST.
The Maddened Mask Wolf has revealed itself - it goes 2nd in the Initiative Order.
As mentioned, skipping Kusa and Ceruledge, though I will default to them guarding Seddi if I don't get word soon enough.
Now it's Bern's time to react, but he hesitates just for a second before deciding to Exclude the Masked Wolf from his upcomming Spell? Why? Because with Nox pinned, Knockdown, and Grappled so CLOSELY to them their is no way they can possible NOT bit caught in the crossfire.
That Frustration and anger does serve a good purpose, however - it just makes the artic winds they conjured all the more biting
Icy Wind 1
(4)(6)(6)(3)(5) (3)(6)(4)(-)(4) (-)(4)(3)(6)(5) (-) Chittering laughing send shivers down their grains. Cursed Critical Hit, due to 4 (4)s , Curse Affnity, and ??? Support
10D6 + 2D6 + 1 - Ignore Target's INS due to Curse
(-)(4)(5)(5)(6) (-)(4)(-)(6)(2) + (3)(3) 1
All 5 Nearby Palossand take 6 Lethal Damage; 0/8 HP, - 3 Pain!
All Targets are also Cursed too, and they all lose 1 Will
- 2 DEX to ALL
Despite being frozen solid these demented and tortued creatures are STILL active and Conscious - whatever Curse and Horrors animating them is keeping them in the Fight!
Citrine looks intrigued by the fell and frosty winds you managed to conjure - both Seddi and Bern could tell they were taking mental notes about how to make their Ice Magic as bitter. As they lifted their hands and began intoning a Spell of their own...
*Rolls* HIT
*Rolls*
- They're suddenly pierced by a MASSIVE spade-like spear that emerges just beneath them.
" Aaaaargh - !"
The Water Magi's screams are cut off as the creature that speared them bursts forth from the ground - you could *barely* catch a glimpse of it, but the shape was BIG, brown and black - then just as suddenly they're dragged underground, a massive long hole were the Magi once stood.
*Rolls*
*Rolls*
*Rolls*
*Rolls*
'James' Pokemon are quick to react - his Octillary starts shooting a Bubble Beam down the hole, while Deicideueye, bold as brass, zooms down the whole to pursue *whatever* abducted Citrine and force them back up.
Something, Seddi strongly suspected, was one of the horrendous Land Whales that was the talk of tall tales and grim rumors back at the Staging Zone.
It is now Seddi's 1st Action of the First Round - and here is where I'll leave things for everyone to react to. Order Changes are both allowed and encouraged; after all some preeeetty big shake-up just happened...
Any plans Seddi had are swiftly interrupted by the Leaders of the group ambushing them instead! He can't exactly do much right now to help Citrine directly since jumping down a deep hole without the ability to fly (or jump really good) is not a good idea, so he'll need to focus on the Masked Wolf for now until the other one is a target!
"Get Nox out of its jaws, Ceruledge, and both of you clash the leaders' attacks when you can!"
Time to go on the defensive! Ceruledge spends 24 exp to increase her Clash from 0 to 3!
Ceruledge's moves: Shadow Sneak 1 (so she can act before Kusanagi and hopefully get Nox out of harm's way), Flame Charge 2, Shadow Claw 3, Bitter Blade EX 4, Night Slash 5
Kusanagi's suggested actions: Ceaseless Edge 1, Razor Shell 2, CUT 3, Aerial Ace 4, Smart Strike 5
Priority: attempt to keep the leaders from landing more blows like those while continuing to chip away at them!
(Apologies for the lack of dice pools. Don't have much time today, but didn't want to hold things up any further)

Edit Reason: Edited in Blizzard
)
D&D Session 3 was very awesome (we defeated an evil Alchemist in her base!) but took longer than actually planned, so to not stall things I'll give my orders without Dice Pools real quick:
Edit: Slight update on the orders, added in Blizzard and tweaked Nox's orders @ Lord Windos.
Note 1: Any taken damage shall go to Mawile, and use Metal Burst as following action. Use a Super Portion on her if she falls to -2 Pain or less.
Note 2: All attacks shall target that Masked Wolf primarily.
Equinox's Orders: Cyan Surge to free herself from the Grapple (if not possible use Nuclear Lick first, followed by ???), followed by Nuclear Lick, followed by the move ???
Bern's Action #2: Evocation of Zephy's Ice Shard, and make it lethal
Bern's Action #3: Evocation of Nirix's mythical Blizzard, aka the one he sketched from Zephy
Bern's Action #4: Evocation of Nirix's Megahorn, no holding back lethal damage
Bern's Action #5: Evocation of Zephy's Dazzling Gleam to hit all foes

(This post was last modified: 06-15-2025, 10:24 PM by Spiritmon.)
Oz sees how powerful that enemy is. How that being is trying to consume and destroy the world. She sees how dangerous that being is. How its power can change can even change the very fabric of dimensions. In how the seas fight against them. And how close the Shadow Balls, filled with malice and darkness was about to hit them, if it was not stopped by her and the Priestess.
Before such enormous power, and such force of nature, even her will falter for a second. All those eyes, looking at her soul, trying to break her.
Even with such power, she begins to doubt herself. Especially after that tremor she felt. They all manage to defeat the army of Palossand, but now that being became powerful and ready to dismantle them all.
When she felt her bravery falter, she felt something in her shoulder. She then sees: Fortuna. Her mentor. Her sister. Her Witch Mother. Looking at her and almost saying:
Don’t give up Oz. This is our moment. This is the moment to be heroes. You are not alone. We are all fighting here. We are one.
She then heard her other sisters shouting. They give Oz the will and sound of confidence. Especially Glinda: Her sister. The one who sacrificed her life to save Oz and her sisters. And the one Oz sacrificed her own life to bring back. In how much Glinda sees Oz pride on her, in how much she grew up. In becoming a brave woman.
She understood. YES! She finally understood everything! She turned her face towards Sand-Goth, the big being capable of destroying her. She can’t let doubt cloud her mind and soul.
For this city. For her sisters. For her friends.
No…In the name of all living things. For all who died in this battle. For all who fallen.
“SAND-GOTH!”
Oz screams with all her lungs, using her Scepter to apply her voice, sending a message to the behemoth in front of her. “I will not let you cause any more harm to anyone ever again! We will beat you! We will destroy you! And We will free all the souls you imprison! And we will destroy your master!”
Raising her scepter to the sky, it shines with a bright white light!
“I WILL MARK MY NAME IN YOUR MEMORY! I WILL NOT LET ANY OTHER SOUL FALL INTO YOUR GREEDY MAW! MY NAME…”
A powerful barrier forms around her…And then proceed to the same barrier be formed around her allies.
“MY NAME…IS OZ! OZ THE WHITE WITCH! REMEMBER THIS NAME WHILE YOU FALL INTO OBLIVION!”
With that done, Fortuna manages to prepare her assault, as instructed by her master and apprentice. Yes, she might not be powerful like Glinda or Hecate, but she is the Witch of Luck and Fate. She will not fail. In the name of her honor, she will change Fate.
And by her black winds she will break the barrier of dimensions, and make that Sand-Goth fall! Looking at the enemy menace, Fortuna releases a powerful and loud scream. And as if empowered by the power of darkness and her Master spirit, it was as if a dark aura surrounded her, and like a demon Raven of death and despair, she released her move: Quash! If the enemy is terrified by the Witch of Fate's despair aura, her wings were filled by darkness once more, and she released a powerful and dangerous attack: Night Slash. And after that powerful strike made of shadows, another attack was summoned. Using her darkest powers of, she sends a wing in the form of a slash where the enemy couldn't predict: Sucker Punch!
Oz decided to not fall behind her mentor. Each of her weapons begin to shine with a bright light. The Scepter holding her Special Power. The Wizard Sword holding her Strengh. The Arcane Gun holding her Dexterity. And the Scimitar Gauntlet holding her Defensives powers. All the power she received during this fight. The boosts of Powers her friends and allies grant to her. All this power with one goal in mind.
To destroy that beast. And then go after her master.
*SLASH!* *BOOM!* *CLANK!* *WHOOSH!*
All of her weapons formed powerful attacks, all focused on Sand-Goth, all her weapons attacking at the same time. A huge of pure energy from each of her movements of her four arms. All into one attack: Stored Power.
After such an explosion of power, she was not finished. After she sent her enemy one of her most powerful attacks, she concentrated her powers, to summon a powerful wind, to blow away the sands of despair into Oblivion. In other words: Ominous Wind!
Oz Wide Guard: Dex(11*)+Fight(4)+Channel(7)-Confusion(1)-Actions(2)=19D6
Effect: Priority 3. Shield. Reduce 3 Dice damage from the damage pool from enemies. Probably gonna become stronger due to being a support move. Protect Oz, Fortuna and all her allies as possible. Doesn’t matter if Sand-Goth acts first. This move will work first either way.
Oz Stored Power: Special(15*)+Fight(4)+Channel(7)-Confusion(2)-Actions(4)=20D6
Damage: Power(1)+Special(15*)+STAB(1)+Every increased trat Oz have(Up to 7*)=24D6!
Effect: Stored Power Base Power dice increase by 1 by each trat increase in its user. I don’t know if this counts her Mega Boosts by her fusion with Hecate and its Mega Ability, so I think the dice is around 24D6 of damage in total. But if not, disregard this information Windos. The dice increase can only go up to 7 anyway.
Oz Ominous Wind: Special(15*)+Fight(4)+Channel(7)+Accuracy of Dark Area for Ghost Buff(1)-Confusion(2)-Actions(6)=19D6
Damage: Power(2)+Special(15*)+Storm(2)+Ghost Type Buff(1)+SE(1)=20D6+1
Effect: 1 Dice Change to increase STR, Special, Dexterity, Defense and Sp. Defense of its user. Since Oz is already buff in her other stats the only stats she doesn’t increase yet is Defense if I am not mistaken. SSince Ominous Wind is both a Wind Move and Ghost-type move, I think this move will benefit from both boosts.
(Using 12 XP to increase Fortuna Intimidate from 0 to 2. She must hit that hateful enemy no matter what!)
Quash: Tough(3)+Contest(2)+Intimidate(2)-Actions(2)+Will Point of her (1)=5D6+1
Effect: For the rest of the scene, the enemy will go last in the initiative.
Night Slash: Special(4)+Fight(4)+Brawl(3)+Dark Type Boost(1)-Actions(4)=8D6
Damage: Power(3)+Special(4)+STAB(1)+SE(1)+Dark Type Boost=9D6+1
Effect: High Critical Chance. Lethal (Hold).
Sucker Punch: Special(4)+Fight(4)+Channel(3)+Dark Type Boost(1)-Actions(6)=6D6
Damage: Power(3)+Special(4)+Dark Type Boost(1)+SE(1)+STAB(1)=9D6+1
Effect: Priority Move. If the enemy doesn’t use a damage move, this move will Fail.
As before: Oz will use healing potions to heal as trainer actions in case things get complicated for her or Fortuna. Hyper Potion.

Looming, crashing, dangerous. A force of strength seldom seen.
So it wanted close combat huh? Something he'd deliver with haste, full trust in Oz and his team to vanquish the +#$%§&/§$.
''Gloomtail, Ecclesia, LET EM HAVE IT.''

3d6 to curse
Dragon Pulse 3: Spec(3)+Fight(4)+Channel(4)-Actions(6)=5d6
Damage: Spec(3)+Power(3)+Stab(1)=7d6
He'd be ready to Max potion/Full heal his active fighters if they got below half HP(or statused too bad), a hyper potion for himself if needed.

First goes Nox, 2nd Kusa, 3rd Ceruledge, 4th Bern, 5th Citrine, 6th Deicidueye, 7th Octillary, 8th Seddi, 9th 'James' , 10th - 15th TCP #6, #1, #3 , #2, and #4 .
@ Dragonstrike and @ PhantomUnderYourDesk
Alright, let's continue the high stakes action! Starting with Ceruledge, who *blurs* into motion to try and slam the Masked Wolf off of Nox!
Shadow Sneak CLASH - STR Damage Roll + Clash + 1 SE - 2 vs *7 + *4 Clash + 3 (Damage) - 2 Deadly Grapple!
(5)(5)(3)(4)(5)(6) (3)(2)(2) + 1 Winner! vs (3)(3)(1)(2)(5)(1)(5) (1)(1)(3)(4) + 3
Cerludge dislodges the Mad Masked Wolf and deals 2 Damage; 38/40 HP, - 1 Pain! Nox is freed from the Grapple, but still KD!
Dancing Wolf does NOT proc due to Clashing!
Before the wild beast even has time to react Kusanagi is upon them, leaping with their head blade that has taken on a sinister darkness!
Ceaseless Edge 1
DEX (*3) + Fight (4) + Brawl (5) - 2 Actions - 5 Blindness = 5D6 Dice
(4)(2)(4)(5)(6) 4 Successes!
Dancing Wolf Enhanced (CURSE MADNESS) Activate: 5 DEX + *3 Contest + *3 Perform / 5 *+ 2 Successes = 3D6 + 2 Dice, Rounded Up
(2)(6)(1) Still HITs ; 1/2 'HP' remaining on Dance (Action 1) !
Damage: *2 + 3 + STAB + SE - VIT (*5) = 1D6 + 1 Damage
(5) MW takes 2 Damage; 36/40 HP!
Cruel Dark Spikes litter the opposing side of the Battlefield now!
Citrine, Land Whale, Deicidueye - *Rolls...* Everyone can feel the sand beneath them vibrate, but nothing else so far.
Seddi enters into an Evasive Stance, ready to Dodge whatever comes their way (default) !
Mr. Pinstripes has a remarkably simple process - he opens fire on one of the TCPs !
3 Round Burst (Semi-Auto)
DEX (4) + Fight (4) + Weapon (5) - 2 Inaccuracy - 2 Actions
(4)(5)(-) (6)(6)(-) (6)(5)(2) Rattled them. Critical Hit
Damage: 3D6 + 2D6 Damage; Each Dice will deal either 0 (1), 2 (2-5), or 4 Damage (6)
(-)(4)(-) + (5)(5) TCP #6 takes 6 Lethal Damage; -6/8 HP, - 5 Pain!
Can't Bleed
TCP #6, instead of attack your side, immediately rushes over to rake its tentacles at the Masked Wolf who DARED Wound their Lustful Master!
Shadow Claw 1
*STR (*5 [Lingering HATE]) + Fight (*3) + Brawl (*3) - 2 Actions - 5 Pain
(2)(3)(1)(6)
(5)(1)(4) + 2 Miss!
The Rest of nearby TCPs are Flinched; the far away ones don't do anything either, as two of them are Flinched while another is too busy fending off a Surprise Attack from the other Infatuated TCP!
Part 2!
Contrary to expectations Nox isn't deterred by the bloody 'affections' of the one she/they lured; instead they let out a fiesty and challenging *WWwwwwwmmmmmvvvv!!!* as they -
Cyan Surge onto them! (2)
DEX (*5) + 3 + 3 - 4 Actions - 3 Pain = 4D6
(5)(6)(-)(2)
(5)(3)(5) Miss, though the crazed hunter seemed to let Nox get closer....
Frigid WRATH inbound towards the one that would hurt your precious Equinox
Lethal Ice Shard
*Rolls* HIT
(6)(5)(4) Dancing Wolf (Action 1) has been dispelled!
Damage: 7 + 2 + STAB - 5 VIT = 5D6 Lethal
(-)(-)(2)(5)(4) MW takes 2 Lethal Damage; 34/*40 HP, 2 Lethal Damage - Max HP not reduced due to HATE and MADNESS CURSE
Your Gauntlet takes 2 + 2 = 4 Stress Damage
The dancing wolf snarls as the ice digs into them, their eyes glaring with HATEFUL ZEAL at shaman that did it. With great it lunges right up at Bern, its madden gazes locked squarely on their Gauntlet!
....Only they're intercepted as your Blade of Glory hops up to meet them, their head blade this time glowing blue!
CLASH - Razor Shell 2 vs Astonish (3)
STR *3 + 4 + 5 Clash + 1 SE - 6 Blindness and Inaccurate - 4 Actions vs *8 + *4 - 1 IE - 4 Actions
(-)(-)(3)(5)(-) + 1 BARELY Wins vs (2)(1)(4)(1)(2) (2)(5)(6)
Clash Successful - Astonish does not Hit Bern; Kusa Rolls STR + 1 while MW Rolls 1/2 STR (Rounded Up) - 1
(3)(5)(4) Kusa takes 1 Damage, (5)(-)(5), *(6) Kusa's next Move is Weakened!
(4)(-)(-) MW takes 2 Damage; 32/*40 HP , (6) - 1 Defense for MW!
Ceruledge is close behind, scorching the sand black as she rushes forward to tackle the crazed beast into the ground.
Flame Charge 2
5 + 4 + 3 - 4
(2)(3)(-)(2)(5) (3)(3)(5)
Dancing Wolf Triggered and Renewed!
(3)(5)(1) + 2 Missed, but Ceruledge still gets the + 1 to DEX!
*Multiple Rolls....*
The ground beneath you continues to shake, and for a moment grass shots through the sand before it withers away. Octillary , instead of keep shooting down into the hole, opts to spit out green seeds at all the remaining TCPs!
Bullet Seed 2-5 !
4 + 4 + 4 - 4/6/8/10
(*6)(*6)(6)(2) (-)(4)(5)(4) *BLAM!* Super Crit due to Sniper!, hitting #1!
(*6)(*6)(2)(5) (2)(2) Hit on #1 or down the line of Initiative
(*6)(*6)(4)(1) Hit! ^
(*6)(*6) Hit! ^
Damage: STR (4) + 2 + SE - 3 VIT = 3D6 + 4D6 + 5 Damage for first hit, 3D6 + 1 for others!
(-)(-)(4) + (-)(6)(4)(-) TCP #1 is OBLITERATED, turning into a pile of sand and their SOUL freed!
(3)(3)(5) 2
(6)(2)(5) 3
(4)(-)(5) 3
TCP # 3 is SHREDDED, their soul leaving the MANY holes in their former rapidly crumbling prison!
Ratatatatatatatata!
3 RB SA (2) on TCP # 2! Making Extra Lethal for MORE Damage (-2 Accuracy)
(6)(-)(2) (-)(4)(2) Extra Lethal Hit
(6)(-)(4)(6)(3) TCP # 2 is turned into a swiss castle, their SOUL escaping as their body crumbles!
TCP #6. still enthralled, turns their wrath once more on its former Leader, this time shooting a Shadow Ball at them!
Shadow Ball 2
SPE (*3) + *3 + *4 - 4 - 5 + 1 Will
(3) + (*4)
(-)(-)(-) + 2 Auto Misses!
The last remaining 'unallied' TCP locks its many horrid eye gaze upon Seddi, a malevolent energy welling up that sent shivers down your spine - !
And in an instant Lopzu is standing in front of her Lord, holding a yellow tailsmen up before the tortured spirit!
GRUDGE 2 - Intercepted Automaticall by Lopzu!
Will (6) + 5 (CURSED) - 4 Actions + 3 Pain -> This Move is unaffected by Curse Status due to inherent properties synergizing with their UNDYING AGONY
(4)(6)(2)(6)(6) (2)(1)(1)(6)(6) S U F F E R L I K E M E. Critical Hit.
Lopzu's Empowered Defense: Loyalty (*5) + Talisman (5) + 2 Success (Solid Sentinal)
(2)(-)(-)(4)(6) (2)(3)(3)(4)(-) Welp
The Talisman disintegrates instantly, unable to withstand the HATE, HURT, and HORROR of the GRUDGE as it directly impacts the bestial swordswoman! Her eyes widen in shock - before they dim as they roll up and she collapses on the spot.
Lopzu loses ALL Will and Faints with Full HP; in addition, she is ALSO Cursed. Because of Grudge-Curse Interaction, she can not have her Will or HP Restored by Items/Moves until the Curse is removed, and the Curse can not be removed until she has at least 1 Will. She will take 3D6 More Than Lethal Damage each Round of Combat, and her Will will start to go negative; if her Negative Will exceeds her Will Cap (10).....
" FUCK, LOPZU DOWN, REPEAT, LOPZU DOWN!!!" screams 'James', now VERY glad he and his Sniper-pus quickly eliminated most of the other TCPs before they could pull something like that or worse.
Needless to say TCP # 4 is gone, their body fades away, and so too their SOUL.
The Far Away Palossand manage to gang up on and Destroy the last remaining Infatuated TCP - this skips their 2nd set of Actions.
Part 3!!!
Nuclear Lick 3 onto MW ~!
*5 + 3 + 3 - 6 - 3* Pain
(6)(6)
(3)(1)(4) + 2 Miss, and by a long shot - the prancing predator is no longer as interested in playing around with its quarry, instead its hellish and mad purple eyes glaring into the lack of such on Kusa.
Still, the beast makes another Move at Bernhard, and once more Kusa intercepts, this time getting up on her hind legs and readies.....
//||||\\
*SLICE!*
\\||||//
To CUT.
Right as they were about to SLICE, though, The Mad Masked Wolf G r i n n e d and suddenly pivoted on the spot to catch it head on.
CLASH - CUT vs Thief Delta
3 + *4 + 5 - 6 vs *10 + *4 + Trick (+2) - 6
(3)(-)(2)(3)(4)(6) vs (5)(5)(6)(3) (5)(6)(1)(5) + 2
SE: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/MzxM_M_j8LA
G o t c h a : )
The Masked Wolf TORE away a spectral copy of Kusanagi's helm-sword in their jaws, causing the old otter to Flinch away and half collaspe on the sand, letting loose a cry of horribly hollowing P a i n! Then, they smoothly continue onto their 'original' target and -
*Rolls* + Will Spent.....
//||||\\
~ ~S L I C E~~
\\||||//
CUTS Bernhard's Gauntlet clean off.
The Magi hangs in the air for a moment, before they plummet, crashing down into the ground HARD. Their Gauntlet soon follows....but is caught in the tail of the Masked Wolf. Now thoroughly * SPLATTERED* in Nox's, Kusa's, and Bernhard's Blood, the Mad Lupine tilts back their head and lets loose crazed, Insane L A U G H T E R.
Kusanagi takes 1/2 HP as Extra Lethal Damage, and Flinches; 7/7 HP , *- 5 Pain , 7 Extra Lethal Damage
Bernhard and Steelene the Mawile take 1/2 of their HP as Extra Lethal Damage; 7/7 HP, *- 5 Pain, 7 Extra Lethal Damage on Bernhard.
The Mask Wolf has STOLEN CUT for (2) 2 Rounds.
Bernhard Gauntlet has been SEVERED and STOLEN from their body; All Remaining Actions for the Round Negated. Take 3D6 Extra Lethal Bleed Damage at the start and end of each Round. Due to your Mons being Locked In and the controls for releasing them well out of arms reach, you also can't Summon your Mons except for Nox until you get the Gauntlet back.
Zephy, needless to say, completely loses their shit at this. Try as she might, though, she Can't Escape her Ball, sending her down a FURTHER spiral of PANIC and....well, we'll leave it at that.
With a mocking, crazed grin it leers at its previously Most VEXSOME pests. Aw, what's the matter? Wolf got your Arms???

Octillary is Out of Actions!
Seddi at this point will automatically sprint over to check on/guard Bernhard - at this point I'll allow you to use an Item on them at this Action Slot (3), as you likely wish to do.
'James' assessing the situation and figuring things were well on their way to FUBAR, goes
" Fuck it."
He reaches into his inventory and pulls out something. Something that Seddi recognizes from his on and off times working with Paldea's Military.
A White Inferno Grenade.
He pulls the pin with his teeht, aims it a the far away TCPs, and screams.
" BURN !!!"
Throw 3: 4 + 4 + 4 + 1 Will - 6
(3)(5)(-)(2)(3)(4) Enough Successes
He lobs the WIG with great force, sending it RIGHT in the middle of the last three remaining monsters. As one they all look down at it -
1D12 - (12)
* FWOOOOM!!*
The 3 TCPs are instantly vaporized by the White Inferno Grenade, purified and glassed by the RAGING WHITE FLAMES that engulf that far away part of the Field. (No Damage to any other Combatant, but that Area is now ON FIRE - maybe you can try and force one of the Bosses onto it....)
Part 4 !!!!
Loyalty: (6)(6)(5) + (4)* [CRISIS]
Disobedience: (1)(2)(2)(6)
For a moment the vulpizard almost PANICKED seeing their Master's wings get [Clipped], but soon its dispelled by RIGHTEOUS ANGER as she *SNARLS* at the now repulsive Masked Wolf. Said Wolf looked bemused and, dare you say it, turned on by the murderous protectiveness. How enticingly ineffectual -

" AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
A strange howling yet human sounding cry erupted from the crazy Pseudo mouth as they writhed in agony, thrashing their head and foaming at the mouth as their mind, body, and SOUL Struggles to handle such myriad and MONEMUMTAL kinds of P a i n that its been hit with all at once!
Then, suddenly, it jerks still for just a moment, and their hellish purple eyes turn blue. Their head snaps to Seddi, drawn by..... something . Their gaze was... mournful, soulful, yet still very much Pained and wracked by HATE and Insanity, flickering her eyes back and forth between blue and purple.
"H-H-H-HELP. STOP....ME....AT...ALL....COOOOOO WWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"
Their voice, distorted and crackling with an ethereal static, reaches out to the cowboy and anyone with the heart to hear them, before their head jerks back towards the sky as she lets lose a tortured HOWL, her eyes rapidly blinking to MAD purple more and more as they jitters in place, BARELY restraining themselves....
*Many Rolls....* The ground beneath your feet stills.
Music/SE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKkJ0etAO5s
A lull falls on the battlefield as the time to Act falls once more to Seddi.
The Madded Masked Wolf was before you, now barely luccid, but on the very precipence of getting dragged back into HATE and Madness.
You feel your Boa pulse, and you Realize something.
The HATE and MADNESS, intensely charged and supernaturally inflicted as they were, were still just emotions.
Mental Effects.
Would it work, though?
Then, you feel another Item resonate with you - The Black Steel Woven Braid. The Masked Wolf was greatly weakened - you're certain that using this now will be devastatingly effective.
Last of all, you could try and grant it a different sort of Mercy, if you believe it is truly beyond salvation.
A Gamble, a Garrote, or the Gullotine.

Oz sees how powerful that enemy is. How that being is trying to consume and destroy the world. She sees how dangerous that being is. How its power can change can even change the very fabric of dimensions. In how the seas fight against them. And how close the Shadow Balls, filled with malice and darkness was about to hit them, if it was not stopped by her and the Priestess.
Before such enormous power, and such force of nature, even her will falter for a second. All those eyes, looking at her soul, trying to break her.
Even with such power, she begins to doubt herself. Especially after that tremor she felt. They all manage to defeat the army of Palossand, but now that being became powerful and ready to dismantle them all.
When she felt her bravery falter, she felt something in her shoulder. She then sees: Fortuna. Her mentor. Her sister. Her Witch Mother. Looking at her and almost saying:
Don’t give up Oz. This is our moment. This is the moment to be heroes. You are not alone. We are all fighting here. We are one.
She then heard her other sisters shouting. They give Oz the will and sound of confidence. Especially Glinda: Her sister. The one who sacrificed her life to save Oz and her sisters. And the one Oz sacrificed her own life to bring back. In how much Glinda sees Oz pride on her, in how much she grew up. In becoming a brave woman.
She understood. YES! She finally understood everything! She turned her face towards Sand-Goth, the big being capable of destroying her. She can’t let doubt cloud her mind and soul.
For this city. For her sisters. For her friends.
No…In the name of all living things. For all who died in this battle. For all who fallen. FOR MYSELF AND THE WORLD.
“SAND-GOTH!”
Oz screams with all her lungs, using her Scepter to apply her voice, sending a message to the behemoth in front of her. “I will not let you cause any more harm to anyone ever again! We will beat you! We will destroy you! And We will free all the souls you imprison! And we will destroy your master!”
Raising her scepter to the sky, it shines with a bright white light!
“I WILL MARK MY NAME IN YOUR MEMORY! I WILL NOT LET ANY OTHER SOUL FALL INTO YOUR GREEDY MAW! MY NAME…”
A powerful barrier forms around her…And then proceed to the same barrier be formed around her allies.
“MY NAME…IS OZ! OZ THE WHITE WITCH! REMEMBER THIS NAME WHILE YOU FALL INTO OBLIVION!”
With that done, Fortuna manages to prepare her assault, as instructed by her master and apprentice. Yes, she might not be powerful like Glinda or Hecate, but she is the Witch of Luck and Fate. She will not fail. In the name of her honor, she will change Fate.
And by her black winds she will break the barrier of dimensions, and make that Sand-Goth fall! Looking at the enemy menace, Fortuna releases a powerful and loud scream. And as if empowered by the power of darkness and her Master spirit, it was as if a dark aura surrounded her, and like a demon Raven of death and despair, she released her move: Quash! If the enemy is terrified by the Witch of Fate's despair aura, her wings were filled by darkness once more, and she released a powerful and dangerous attack: Night Slash. And after that powerful strike made of shadows, another attack was summoned. Using her darkest powers of, she sends a wing in the form of a slash where the enemy couldn't predict: Sucker Punch!
Oz decided to not fall behind her mentor. Each of her weapons begin to shine with a bright light. The Scepter holding her Special Power. The Wizard Sword holding her Strengh. The Arcane Gun holding her Dexterity. And the Scimitar Gauntlet holding her Defensives powers. All the power she received during this fight. The boosts of Powers her friends and allies grant to her. All this power with one goal in mind.
To destroy that beast. And then go after her master.
*SLASH!* *BOOM!* *CLANK!* *WHOOSH!*
All of her weapons formed powerful attacks, all focused on Sand-Goth, all her weapons attacking at the same time. A huge of pure energy from each of her movements of her four arms. All into one attack: Stored Power.
After such an explosion of power, she was not finished. After she sent her enemy one of her most powerful attacks, she concentrated her powers, to summon a powerful wind, to blow away the sands of despair into Oblivion. In other words: Ominous Wind!
Oz Wide Guard: Dex(11*)+Fight(4)+Channel(7)-Confusion(1)-Actions(2)=19D6
Effect: Priority 3. Shield. Reduce 3 Dice damage from the damage pool from enemies. Probably gonna become stronger due to being a support move. Protect Oz, Fortuna and all her allies as possible. Doesn’t matter if Sand-Goth acts first. This move will work first either way.
Oz Stored Power: Special(15*)+Fight(4)+Channel(7)-Confusion(2)-Actions(4)=20D6
Damage: Power(1)+Special(15*)+STAB(1)+Every increased trat Oz have(Up to 7*)=24D6!
Effect: Stored Power Base Power dice increase by 1 by each trat increase in its user. I don’t know if this counts her Mega Boosts by her fusion with Hecate and its Mega Ability, so I think the dice is around 24D6 of damage in total. But if not, disregard this information Windos. The dice increase can only go up to 7 anyway.
Oz Ominous Wind: Special(15*)+Fight(4)+Channel(7)+Accuracy of Dark Area for Ghost Buff(1)-Confusion(2)-Actions(6)=19D6
Damage: Power(2)+Special(15*)+Storm(2)+Ghost Type Buff(1)+SE(1)=20D6+1
Effect: 1 Dice Change to increase STR, Special, Dexterity, Defense and Sp. Defense of its user. Since Oz is already buff in her other stats the only stats she doesn’t increase yet is Defense if I am not mistaken. SSince Ominous Wind is both a Wind Move and Ghost-type move, I think this move will benefit from both boosts.
(Using 12 XP to increase Fortuna Intimidate from 0 to 2. She must hit that hateful enemy no matter what!)
Quash: Tough(3)+Contest(2)+Intimidate(2)-Actions(2)+Will Point of her (1)=5D6+1
Effect: For the rest of the scene, the enemy will go last in the initiative.
Night Slash: Special(4)+Fight(4)+Brawl(3)+Dark Type Boost(1)-Actions(4)=8D6
Damage: Power(3)+Special(4)+STAB(1)+SE(1)+Dark Type Boost=9D6+1
Effect: High Critical Chance. Lethal (Hold).
Sucker Punch: Special(4)+Fight(4)+Channel(3)+Dark Type Boost(1)-Actions(6)=6D6
Damage: Power(3)+Special(4)+Dark Type Boost(1)+SE(1)+STAB(1)=9D6+1
Effect: Priority Move. If the enemy doesn’t use a damage move, this move will Fail.
As before: Oz will use healing potions to heal as trainer actions in case things get complicated for her or Fortuna. Hyper Potion.

Alright, I'm noticing something funky...
I may have done with your Fused stats wrong and its bugging me, so let me redo things a bit...
SPE: 7+7+2 (Super Mega Bonus) + 1 Calm Mind = 17 SPE, sweet Jesus! (Base 14 - 16)
DEX: 4 * 1.5 (Hecate slow girl naturally) + 2 SMG + *4 Super Mega Ability Bonus (YIKES) = 12 DEX (Base 6-8)
STR: 3 * 2 (Hecate STRONG) + 2 + 4 = 12 STR (Base 6-8)
VIT: 3 * 2 + 2 + 4 = 14 VIT (Base 6-8)
INS: 4 + 3 - 2 (Confused) + 2 + 4 = *11 INS
HP: Base 8 + 11 + 12 - 5 ML = 26 Effective Max HP
Hoo boy, I created more of a monster than I thought....and it may be just what is needed in the fights ahead!

Meanwhile...
Time almost seemed to slow down more and more as the fight continued and Seddi watched plans both succeed and fail.
The clashes doing their job, preventing the wolf from evading the attacks.
Kusanagi failing to clash one attack and getting her CUT technique stolen.
Bernhard's gauntlet becoming severed.
Nox enacting righteous justice as they copy the technique and CUT out the wolf's evasive capabilities.
The ground continuing to rumble as Citrine and Decidueye fight the Land Whale underneath them all.
Seddi runs over to Bernhard, and with a spinning flourish, pulls a Full Restore off his belt to fully heal the mage. "You're not out of this fight yet."
No time for mistakes.
Persist.
Adapt.
Survive.
And then...
That howl of pain. Desperation.
That plea for help, and those pulses from the Boa of Resolution and the Black Braid.
Music: The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly Theme
As the cowboy locks eyes with the mad wolf desperately fighting back to get control, Seddi takes a deep breath. Time almost seems to stop.
Iron Leaves....she's not too thrilled with the DANGER you're putting yourself in. While the fate of the Region and the World at large rests on What You Do....such relatively minor Conflicts like this Dameon (*Shudders*) with Disproportionate Risk to Reward should be avoided. Because, as just mentioned, a LOT rides on you two Succeeding in your Missions.
Leaves's mission first mindset, preferring to let the city deal with this mess without their assistance. Even now, he can sense she'd prefer he take a direct route to ensuring this wolf cannot pose a threat to them.
"If things go sideways we'll be far worse off or maybe even dead 'fore we even get a shot at taking down their Boss. Mercy and politeness is a privilege of the strong, and we don't know yet how we stack up against them firepower-wise for that to be feasible or a pipe-dream. We're already risking our necks enough pulling a Savoir - why give Luck and Odds more of a bead on putting us 6 feet under or getting our immortal SOULs eaten and damned ? "
James's words echo as well. Why take any more risks than necessary at all?
A flash of light, fist colliding with energy blade in an impossible feat of resilience and resolve.
A young lad wearing a porcelain mask, all but begging that he help these creatures escape from their torment.
Those blue eyes, directly asking him to stop them in their madness. No matter what it takes.
When Seddi let's that breath out, he's made his choice.
Why would they take a risk like this?
Because it's the right thing to do. Not for himself, but for those depending on him.
Nobody said doing the right thing would be easy.
Justice requires Resolve.
And so, he locks eyes with the Mad Wolf once more, as everything around seems to wait in anticipation.
He's got one shot. One chance to save this wolf from this curse and itself.
And he...
Won't...
Miss.
Time seems to speed up again.
As quickly as Seddi ran to the wounded Bernhard, the cowboy is gone just as quickly.
And he's running straight towards the Masked Wolf, Pericot Berry in hand!
So great is his Resolve, he will spend a Will Point to make it more likely that he'll get to stuff this berry down that wolf's throat!
It's time to wrangle this wolf!

@Dragonstrike and @PhantomUnderYourDesk
Alright, let's continue the high stakes action! Starting with Ceruledge, who *blurs* into motion to try and slam the Masked Wolf off of Nox!
Shadow Sneak CLASH - STR Damage Roll + Clash + 1 SE - 2 vs *7 + *4 Clash + 3 (Damage) - 2 Deadly Grapple!
(5)(5)(3)(4)(5)(6) (3)(2)(2) + 1 Winner! vs (3)(3)(1)(2)(5)(1)(5) (1)(1)(3)(4) + 3
Cerludge dislodges the Mad Masked Wolf and deals 2 Damage; 38/40 HP, - 1 Pain! Nox is freed from the Grapple, but still KD!
Dancing Wolf does NOT proc due to Clashing!
Before the wild beast even has time to react Kusanagi is upon them, leaping with their head blade that has taken on a sinister darkness!
Ceaseless Edge 1
DEX (*3) + Fight (4) + Brawl (5) - 2 Actions - 5 Blindness = 5D6 Dice
(4)(2)(4)(5)(6) 4 Successes!
Dancing Wolf Enhanced (CURSE MADNESS) Activate: 5 DEX + *3 Contest + *3 Perform / 5 *+ 2 Successes = 3D6 + 2 Dice, Rounded Up
(2)(6)(1) Still HITs ; 1/2 'HP' remaining on Dance (Action 1) !
Damage: *2 + 3 + STAB + SE - VIT (*5) = 1D6 + 1 Damage
(5) MW takes 2 Damage; 36/40 HP!
Cruel Dark Spikes litter the opposing side of the Battlefield now!
Citrine, Land Whale, Deicidueye - *Rolls...* Everyone can feel the sand beneath them vibrate, but nothing else so far.
Seddi enters into an Evasive Stance, ready to Dodge whatever comes their way (default) !
Mr. Pinstripes has a remarkably simple process - he opens fire on one of the TCPs !
3 Round Burst (Semi-Auto)
DEX (4) + Fight (4) + Weapon (5) - 2 Inaccuracy - 2 Actions
(4)(5)(-) (6)(6)(-) (6)(5)(2) Rattled them. Critical Hit

(-)(4)(-) + (5)(5) TCP #6 takes 6 Lethal Damage; -6/8 HP, - 5 Pain!
Can't Bleed
TCP #6, instead of attack your side, immediately rushes over to rake its tentacles at the Masked Wolf who DARED Wound their Lustful Master!
Shadow Claw 1
*STR (*5 [Lingering HATE]) + Fight (*3) + Brawl (*3) - 2 Actions - 5 Pain
(2)(3)(1)(6)
(5)(1)(4) + 2 Miss!
The Rest of nearby TCPs are Flinched; the far away ones don't do anything either, as two of them are Flinched while another is too busy fending off a Surprise Attack from the other Infatuated TCP!
Part 2!
Contrary to expectations Nox isn't deterred by the bloody 'affections' of the one she/they lured; instead they let out a fiesty and challenging *WWwwwwwmmmmmvvvv!!!* as they -
Cyan Surge onto them! (2)
DEX (*5) + 3 + 3 - 4 Actions - 3 Pain = 4D6
(5)(6)(-)(2)
(5)(3)(5) Miss, though the crazed hunter seemed to let Nox get closer....
Frigid WRATH inbound towards the one that would hurt your precious Equinox
Lethal Ice Shard
*Rolls* HIT
(6)(5)(4) Dancing Wolf (Action 1) has been dispelled!
Damage: 7 + 2 + STAB - 5 VIT = 5D6 Lethal
(-)(-)(2)(5)(4) MW takes 2 Lethal Damage; 34/*40 HP, 2 Lethal Damage - Max HP not reduced due to HATE and MADNESS CURSE
Your Gauntlet takes 2 + 2 = 4 Stress Damage
The dancing wolf snarls as the ice digs into them, their eyes glaring with HATEFUL ZEAL at shaman that did it. With great it lunges right up at Bern, its madden gazes locked squarely on their Gauntlet!
....Only they're intercepted as your Blade of Glory hops up to meet them, their head blade this time glowing blue!
CLASH - Razor Shell 2 vs Astonish (3)
STR *3 + 4 + 5 Clash + 1 SE - 6 Blindness and Inaccurate - 4 Actions vs *8 + *4 - 1 IE - 4 Actions
(-)(-)(3)(5)(-) + 1 BARELY Wins vs (2)(1)(4)(1)(2) (2)(5)(6)

(3)(5)(4) Kusa takes 1 Damage, (5)(-)(5), *(6) Kusa's next Move is Weakened!
(4)(-)(-) MW takes 2 Damage; 32/*40 HP , (6) - 1 Defense for MW!
Ceruledge is close behind, scorching the sand black as she rushes forward to tackle the crazed beast into the ground.
Flame Charge 2
5 + 4 + 3 - 4
(2)(3)(-)(2)(5) (3)(3)(5)
Dancing Wolf Triggered and Renewed!
(3)(5)(1) + 2 Missed, but Ceruledge still gets the + 1 to DEX!
*Multiple Rolls....*
The ground beneath you continues to shake, and for a moment grass shots through the sand before it withers away. Octillary , instead of keep shooting down into the hole, opts to spit out green seeds at all the remaining TCPs!
Bullet Seed 2-5 !
4 + 4 + 4 - 4/6/8/10
(*6)(*6)(6)(2) (-)(4)(5)(4) *BLAM!* Super Crit due to Sniper!, hitting #1!
(*6)(*6)(2)(5) (2)(2) Hit on #1 or down the line of Initiative
(*6)(*6)(4)(1) Hit! ^

Damage: STR (4) + 2 + SE - 3 VIT = 3D6 + 4D6 + 5 Damage for first hit, 3D6 + 1 for others!
(-)(-)(4) + (-)(6)(4)(-) TCP #1 is OBLITERATED, turning into a pile of sand and their SOUL freed!
(3)(3)(5) 2
(6)(2)(5) 3
(4)(-)(5) 3
TCP # 3 is SHREDDED, their soul leaving the MANY holes in their former rapidly crumbling prison!
Ratatatatatatatata!
3 RB SA (2) on TCP # 2! Making Extra Lethal for MORE Damage (-2 Accuracy)
(6)(-)(2) (-)(4)(2) Extra Lethal Hit
(6)(-)(4)(6)(3) TCP # 2 is turned into a swiss castle, their SOUL escaping as their body crumbles!
TCP #6. still enthralled, turns their wrath once more on its former Leader, this time shooting a Shadow Ball at them!
Shadow Ball 2
SPE (*3) + *3 + *4 - 4 - 5 + 1 Will
(3) + (*4)
(-)(-)(-) + 2 Auto Misses!
The last remaining 'unallied' TCP locks its many horrid eye gaze upon Seddi, a malevolent energy welling up that sent shivers down your spine - !
And in an instant Lopzu is standing in front of her Lord, holding a yellow tailsmen up before the tortured spirit!
GRUDGE 2 - Intercepted Automaticall by Lopzu!
Will (6) + 5 (CURSED) - 4 Actions + 3 Pain -> This Move is unaffected by Curse Status due to inherent properties synergizing with their UNDYING AGONY
(4)(6)(2)(6)(6) (2)(1)(1)(6)(6) S U F F E R L I K E M E. Critical Hit.
Lopzu's Empowered Defense: Loyalty (*5) + Talisman (5) + 2 Success (Solid Sentinal)
(2)(-)(-)(4)(6) (2)(3)(3)(4)(-) Welp
The Talisman disintegrates instantly, unable to withstand the HATE, HURT, and HORROR of the GRUDGE as it directly impacts the bestial swordswoman! Her eyes widen in shock - before they dim as they roll up and she collapses on the spot.
Lopzu loses ALL Will and Faints with Full HP; in addition, she is ALSO Cursed. Because of Grudge-Curse Interaction, she can not have her Will or HP Restored by Items/Moves until the Curse is removed, and the Curse can not be removed until she has at least 1 Will. She will take 3D6 More Than Lethal Damage each Round of Combat, and her Will will start to go negative; if her Negative Will exceeds her Will Cap (10).....
"FUCK, LOPZU DOWN, REPEAT, LOPZU DOWN!!!" screams 'James', now VERY glad he and his Sniper-pus quickly eliminated most of the other TCPs before they could pull something like that or worse.
Needless to say TCP # 4 is gone, their body fades away, and so too their SOUL.
The Far Away Palossand manage to gang up on and Destroy the last remaining Infatuated TCP - this skips their 2nd set of Actions.
Part 3!!!
Nuclear Lick 3 onto MW ~!
*5 + 3 + 3 - 6 - 3* Pain
(6)(6)
(3)(1)(4) + 2 Miss, and by a long shot - the prancing predator is no longer as interested in playing around with its quarry, instead its hellish and mad purple eyes glaring into the lack of such on Kusa.
Still, the beast makes another Move at Bernhard, and once more Kusa intercepts, this time getting up on her hind legs and readies.....
//||||\\
*SLICE!*
\\||||//
To CUT.
Right as they were about to SLICE, though, The Mad Masked Wolf G r i n n e d and suddenly pivoted on the spot tocatch it head on.
CLASH - CUT vs Thief Delta
3 + *4 + 5 - 6 vs *10 + *4 + Trick (+2) - 6
(3)(-)(2)(3)(4)(6) vs (5)(5)(6)(3) (5)(6)(1)(5) + 2

G o t c h a : )
The Masked Wolf TORE away a spectral copy of Kusanagi's helm-sword in their jaws, causing the old otter to Flinch away and half collaspe on the sand, letting loose a cry of horribly hollowing P a i n! Then, they smoothly continue onto their 'original' target and -
*Rolls* + Will Spent.....
//||||\\
~~S L I C E~~
\\||||//
CUTS Bernhard's Gauntlet clean off.
The Magi hangs in the air for a moment, before they plummet, crashing down into the ground HARD. Their Gauntlet soon follows....but is caught in the tail of the Masked Wolf. Now thoroughly *SPLATTERED* in Nox's, Kusa's, and Bernhard's Blood, the Mad Lupine tilts back their head and lets loose crazed, Insane L A U G H T E R.
Kusanagi takes 1/2 HP as Extra Lethal Damage, and Flinches; 7/7 HP , *- 5 Pain , 7 Extra Lethal Damage
Bernhard and Steelene the Mawile take 1/2 of their HP as Extra Lethal Damage; 7/7 HP, *- 5 Pain, 7 Extra Lethal Damage on Bernhard.
The Mask Wolf has STOLEN CUT for (2) 2 Rounds.
Bernhard Gauntlet has been SEVERED and STOLEN from their body; All Remaining Actions for the Round Negated. Take 3D6 Extra Lethal Bleed Damage at the start and end of each Round. Due to your Mons being Locked In and the controls for releasing them well out of arms reach, you also can't Summon your Mons except for Nox until you get the Gauntlet back.
Zephy, needless to say, completely loses their shit at this. Try as she might, though, she Can't Escape her Ball, sending her down a FURTHER spiral of PANIC and....well, we'll leave it at that.
With a mocking, crazed grin it leers at its previously Most VEXSOME pests. Aw, what's the matter? Wolf got your Arms???
Shadow Claw 3
*6 + 4 + 3 - 6
(2)(6)(3) (3)(-)(-)(6)
(-)(-)(-) + *4 (BLOODLUST FUELED) Missed ~ !
*Lots of Rolling*
The ground beneath your feet continue to shake and rumble, with patches of frost and rocks jutting up as something was happening down there...
Octillary is Out of Actions!
Seddi at this point will automatically sprint over to check on/guard Bernhard - at this point I'll allow you to use an Item on them at this Action Slot (3), as you likely wish to do.
'James' assessing the situation and figuring things were well on their way to FUBAR, goes
"Fuck it."
He reaches into his inventory and pulls out something. Something that Seddi recognizes from his on and off times working with Paldea's Military.
A White Inferno Grenade.
He pulls the pin with his teeht, aims it a the far away TCPs, and screams.
"BURN !!!"
Throw 3: 4 + 4 + 4 + 1 Will - 6
(3)(5)(-)(2)(3)(4) Enough Successes
He lobs the WIG with great force, sending it RIGHT in the middle of the last three remaining monsters. As one they all look down at it -
1D12 - (12)
*FWOOOOM!!*
The 3 TCPs are instantly vaporized by the White Inferno Grenade, purified and glassed by the RAGING WHITE FLAMES that engulf that far away part of the Field. (No Damage to any other Combatant, but that Area is now ON FIRE - maybe you can try and force one of the Bosses onto it....)
Part 4 !!!!
Loyalty: (6)(6)(5) + (4)* [CRISIS]
Disobedience: (1)(2)(2)(6)
For a moment the vulpizard almost PANICKED seeing their Master's wings get [Clipped], but soon its dispelled by RIGHTEOUS ANGER as she *SNARLS* at the now repulsive Masked Wolf. Said Wolf looked bemused and, dare you say it, turned on by the murderous protectiveness. How enticingly ineffectual -
Copycat 4
AUTO SUCCESS
SE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2P5qbcRAXVk
- the Mad Lupine's eyes shrink into pinpricks as they/she conjure their very own BLADE and #SLICE# it at them!
7 Successes vs Evasion (*3 + *5 + *3 - 8 - 1 Pain) + Dancing Wolf 3D6 + *2 (Startled)
(5)(5)(6) + (6)(2)(2) + 2
HIT
Masked Wolf takes 7 Extra Lethal Damage, and their Dancing Wolf Reaction (4) is CUT DOWN; 25/*40 HP, *- 5 Pain, 2 Lethal and 7 Extra Lethal Damage.
Masked Wolf's Masked STAGGERS from the Surprise Attack - lose their Next Action and Double Damage of next Attack! They're also BADLY Bleeding, the CUTTING blow cleaving right into their chest - 3D6 Extra Lethal Damage at the start and end of every Round.
Kusa is Flinched out of her Action, but don't worry - the Blade of Malice has her covered as she rushes forward with furious VEGENCE as she raises her flaming sword-arm and brings it down on this mad wretch.
Bitter Blade EX 4
AUTO CRIT HIT due to Target being STAGGERED
*5 + 3 + STAB + C (1) - 1 IE - VIT (5) = 5D6 + 2D6 - 1
(2)(5)(3)(6)(4) + (6)(2) MW takes 6 Damage; 19/40 HP, *- 6 Pain!
MW's fur ignites on Contact, inflict Burn 1! This cauterizes the CUT on their chest, however - MW is no longer Badly Bleeding, but Double negative Effects of Burn and + 1 Pain (- 2 STR and now *- 7 Pain)
"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH-WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
A strange howling yet human sounding cry erupted from the crazy Pseudo mouth as they writhed in agony, thrashing their head and foaming at the mouth as their mind, body, and SOUL Struggles to handle such myriad and MONEMUMTAL kinds of P a i n that its been hit with all at once!
Then, suddenly, it jerks still for just a moment, and their hellish purple eyes turn blue. Their head snaps to Seddi, drawn by.....something . Their gaze was... mournful, soulful, yet still very much Pained and wracked by HATE and Insanity, flickering her eyes back and forth between blue and purple.
"H-H-H-HELP. STOP....ME....AT...ALL....COOOOOOWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"
Their voice, distorted and crackling with an ethereal static, reaches out to the cowboy and anyone with the heart to hear them, before their head jerks back towards the sky as she lets lose a tortured HOWL, her eyes rapidly blinking to MAD purple more and more as they jitters in place, BARELY restraining themselves....
*Many Rolls....* The ground beneath your feet stills.
Music/SE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKkJ0etAO5s
A lull falls on the battlefield as the time to Act falls once more to Seddi.
The Madded Masked Wolf was before you, now barely luccid, but on the very precipence of getting dragged back into HATE and Madness.
You feel your Boa pulse, and you Realize something.
The HATE and MADNESS, intensely charged and supernaturally inflicted as they were, were still just emotions.
Mental Effects.
Would it work, though?
Then, you feel another Item resonate with you - The Black Steel Woven Braid. The Masked Wolf was greatly weakened - you're certain that using this now will be devastatingly effective.
Last of all, you could try and grant it a different sort of Mercy, if you believe it is truly beyond salvation.
A Gamble, a Garrote, or the Gullotine.
...
Current theme song from Bern's POV!! Because the way I interpret this song, it absolutely matches the situation. Almost too well. There I sit at my desk™, all teared up. May you rest in much deserved peace , Chester Bennington.
I'm going to cut myself relatively short here as well to focuc on the reactions and not hold things back unnecessarily, sorry for that.
#####
--- Time must have become fake for a very specific Magi. ---
Because one moment he saw the face/mask of that damned Masked Wolf waaay too close in front of him ('personal space, personal space please!! Respect my boundaries please!!1'), the very next moment he found himself on the harsh and utterly cold ground of the beach of the city. Bernhard feels like he has lost a few seconds of awareness, did the longly-ago accquired mechanism of self-protection of his teenage mind - dissociative amnesia - kick in again..?
It took him another, painfully long, moment to realize that the sand around him was stained in an ugly crimson shade of color, and the air around him smelled like hot iron. This only confused him even more.
???
He raised one arm [note: the non-gaunteted one] to wipe some sand and cold sweat from his cheek with the sleeve of his fine skyblue robe, only to find it severly stained in the very shade of red that the sand was around him; whatever it was, he only smeared it. And things didn't stop there, from the look of it the pool of red was growing larger every second. It dyed the grains of sand in a VERY ugly, gruesome and morbid way.
Sounds were muted and his vision blurred, another sign that something was absolutely not right at all.
What that 'something' was however escaped Bernhard.
Bless his brilliant mind for protecting him from the horrors.
?????
...For so long that is, as he made the huge mistake to look sideways.
That very sleeve of his robe was stained even MORE in that crimson shade, and it slowly but surely SPREAD.
.....?
.....THAT WAS THE VERY MOMENT REALITY HIT BERNHARD HARD, MUCH TOO HARD AND FACEFIRST WITHOUT ANY HINT OF MERCY.
Zephy's panic, tangible even through her signature Premier Ball, reached him. Emotions Bernhard didn't even know he had washed over him, all at once, in a mighty tsunami-like wave.
And there he was, completely helpless. That Masked Wolf rendered him as defenseless as he could ever be, as vulnerable as he could only be.
...Whatever took a crack within Bernhard from the previous days' events, stoic and self-secure and confident as he always gave himself...
....it now broke apart into a thousand pieces, leaving him shattered and left all alone to pick them up.
.....!!!!!
