Canti's restorative, of course, had the desired effect without issue. Talal's charm dissipated and for her part she felt nothing more than some lightheadedness while the status effect had been in place. The more interesting part of the turn was Shadow. The massive hound launched for the Willowman an...

Takua's massive summon, if positioned right, could probably hit most of their team. It had no trouble overlapping the area Talal identified and the Willowman himself. In the ensuing chaos of dust, rocks and flying debris, it was hard to tell exactly what happened. Four small spheres flickered, resem...

OOC: I know this one took a while; Sekai had some personal issues so I gave her extra time. Sekai's Ola Repth had the advantage of covering the whole party, but it wasn't a Pha-level spell, so it didn't completely heal everyone. Another cast or two would do it, but would she get that in before the ...

Canti's use of the buff did indeed take effect over the pair, and Shadow's subsequent attacks were notably stronger. His claws tore through wood with greater ease, an the power of the buff promised at least a few turns of such benefit. The pair were firmly cementing themselves as Enemy Number One in...

Talal's spell flashed over the crystal she targeted, and the Willowman as well. Unfortunately, hitting both made it impossible for her to tell the true effect. The crystal rang clearer to her ears for a moment, but no different than it had when other abilities hit the Willowman. Next up: Demorian De...

Takua's quick cycle through the perceptions of each left him with a series of quick images, though he had little time with each before his turn was locked down once more. Talal's perceptions were the immediately most interesting. She was staring, fixedly, at certain points arrayed behind the Willowm...

Rue Rom seemed equally damaging as Vak, to the Willowman. Perhaps he simply followed standard World rules, where neither fire nor water had bonuses to wood. Then again, perhaps he had no particular weaknesses. Maoh suffered from a low spell power, so his abilities hardly had the weight behind them o...

Shadow was growing quite used to the unique ability to maul an opponent without fear of retribution. It was something they could all get used to, though it could form unfortunate habits for the next real-time fight. Canti's charged attack certainly shook up the area, drawing even Xenobia's attention...

Sekai, testing out the ability to actually go on the defensive, finds herself perhaps slightly surprised at a faint increase in awareness an confidence; a mental indicator of a game state representation. Perhaps, should she be attacked, it would help her with the edge she would need to avoid damage....

Canti's level was such that a single La Repth wouldn't entirely top him off, but the few points remaining drained were so little as to make no difference; if an attack left him so low that those few would save him, they would be in dire straits indeed. Keeping up the pressure -- and his threat ratin...

Talal's further concentration brings things to mental clarity, of a sort. She hears four distinct tones, all similar, and her hearing in the lull of her turn locates them generally behind the Willowman, perhaps by a foot or so. That was not all, however; other tones, fainter, harder to hear, still s...

Canti's use of the antidote spell was exactly as effective as he wanted it to be; the debuff was quickly eliminated before it became an issue. It didn't, however, cure his diminished HP. Canti's boosted speed would surely allow that before long, of course. Shadow went to town on his new scratching p...

Summons, universally, were all very impressive spells. Used in the right situation, a powerful Wavemaster had massive damage-dealing capabilities. In this case, the power of a tier-3 summon -- and the unique ice-based attack of the pet -- were taken with heavy flinching. With that kind of power thro...

Sekai, perhaps lost in the chaos of her own internal voices, perhaps simply not aware of the loosened restriction that signified her chance, missed that chance entirely. The onus of action passed on.

Next up: Takua/Vesica

Ap Do, of course, took effect with no issue on both Shadow and Canti. Xenobia's control rules treated pets as one entity, it seemed, which had interesting implications. Canti and Shadow took simultaneous turns, and buffs affected them both. Damage, presumably, would affect them both as well. There w...
