Enhancing his own speed was to be expected, and taking advantage of having two actions in a turn was equally expected. What made Canti's decision excellent from a tactical standpoint was enhancing Sheena's speed. Her turns would come up more often, allowing her to put her insane power to use and hop...

Sekai's turns lasted no longer than any other, though to her they must be agony, as the control vine failed to silence or control the voices in her head. Even so, she held to her self-appointed role as healer and support, her Repth variant healing the damage done to her allies and all of what had la...

Baron's unexpected entry, after the elemental wolf and Maoh's cat transformation, allowed the pet-infused twin blade enough time to get a serious hit in and more than the single action. For a brief moment, he was free, capable of using his time to the utmost. He popped out one of the ever-powerful Y...

Shadow's attacks on the Willowman had the same effect they typically did; deep rends in his wooden flesh and armor, with no outward sign of retaliation. Meanwhile, Canti's lightning spell penetrated and blew apart the shrubbery wolf. The wolf was certainly harmed by the blast, but it fairly quickly ...

In The World, most skills were fixed in their animations. Once initiated, it was hard or impossible to move or cancel out of them. Maoh's basic skills were no exception, and Thunder Dance locked him in once he began to attack. This would not be interesting in any way, if not for the fact that his od...

Canti's darkness blast was potent indeed, and it slammed into the Willowman with the accuracy and force seldom seen, simply due to the lack of potential evasion. The boss could do little but stand and take it. Meanwhile Shadow leaped into action, even as the shrubbery was filling out and a successio...

Takua once again proved himself to be the king of spellcasting amongst their group, at least among those who were free and active. Perhaps Nighthand or Demorian would levy something more damaging, or perhaps not; a third level summon was majestic in its power. Only Raine for sure would out-do him at...

Sekai was right to be wary of the sprouts growing at an abnormal rate from the cracked and broken remains of the Willowman's gauntlet. While she watched and waited in a defensive stance, the sprouts grew and multiplied, forming a small patch of what looked like clover. It continued to grow slowly, s...

Talal's focus blast of pinpoint sound was inaudible as it gathered, the merest whisper heard by anyone other than herself and the Willowman. Even the sounds of battle were dimmed and drained, as she pulled and tugged at them to build her power. The massive snap of Sheena's attack just added to the p...

The Tower: one of the extremely powerful scrolls found only in the Yamiyo server, created long ago by some hacker with a bit of talent and the irritation at the tarot deck in-game not being complete. It was potentially incredibly potent, or a waste of a move; it cast a series of rapid-fire dek spell...

Takua felt nausea, the urge to vomit, rising up in him. The poison seemed to ebb and swell, growing bold and terrible by the end of his turn, but Vesica's timely antidote removed all fear and feeling immediately. The relief was palpable, and just in time. Status effects were cured across the board, ...

Canti's focus on the location of the hovering, invisible crystal was admirable. As was his use of the speed buff that so easily gave him so many chances to act. He alone among the others could really let loose and try things, knowing he would have another chance. His Curse ticked down as he used the...

Ola Repth topped everyone off, or near as made no difference. That merely left Canti's cursed status and Takua's poison to deal with. Still, the Willowman seemed oblivious to the healing. He simply didn't care. Given the progress of the battle thus far, either the Willowman was resigned to his death...

Talal was the reigning champion of long-term plans in this battle, and her new gambit was no less extended. The problem, as she discovered as soon as the vines tightened their hold on her, was this; would her ability continue to work if she wasn't actively manipulating the sound? Surprisingly enough...

Maoh had the dubious honor of being the first to attack the Willowman after a crystal broke, and it appeared, in MMO terms, to reset aggro. The Willowman leveled a death glare on Maoh as he attacked, though he could not retaliate. As Maoh returned to his position, the mysterious machine on his arm c...
