(This post comes late for various reasons, partially an attempt to wait on people and partially my own lack of free time to think about it. Anyone still looking to talk to Xenobia can script with me or post their approach and do it live. I'll be moving on from this discussion relatively soon, with o...

Talal's sonic powers were proving to be the MVP of the battle, and with one final push, she shunted her accumulated sound into the final crystal. It was already slowing, stuttering, finding it hard to maintain the illusion of invisibility under the assault the Willowman had taken. Her sonic blast sh...

The Willowman was clearly showing the damage of this prolonged fight, and the lack of buffs was perhaps hurting him more than hurting the party. The inevitable end of the fight was coming fast, as soon as they destroyed the final crystal and passed any final challenge the broken boss had for them. T...

The battle had raged on for quite some time, and several members of the party were quite wisely using this relative lull in the fight to recharge. The question was, how necessary would it be? Next up: Canti and Shadow PARTY STATUS Nighthand: HP 100% Nall: HP 100%: Vinebound Sheena: HP 80% Demorian: ...

Those unfamiliar with Sekai's abilities would be confused at the emergence of someone new to the fray. Xenobia may not have seen them in action before, be she didn't need to in order to take action herself. Not that she did anything overt; merely another vine from the tangle in the floor rose up to ...

Takua was perhaps wise to regain his resources in preparation for another phase, though where might the boss go from here? Time would tell. Next up: Demorian Demorian's contribution to the fight thus far had been damage control, heaping on damage by way of controlling the fight. Chunking the HP of t...

The Willowman reacted as a statue to their attacks, immobile as per the limits on the turn-based battle, immovable as per Xenobia's control over everything in her domain. Still, he could do nothing but take attacks, whatever form they took. Next up: Takua and Vesica PARTY STATUS Nighthand: HP 100% N...

Talal's lightning spell fed into her sonic collection, and it hurt the Willowman as an indirect hit, but it had no effect on the crystal aside from making it hum a little louder -- hard to even hear over the sound of the spell itself. Next up: Baron and Higure PARTY STATUS Nighthand: HP 100% Nall: H...

Canti was fast, that was sure. Only a few could beat him in speed without hack or buff shenanigans, and in this Xenobia-controlled system, those shenanigans were limited. So it was, that he got the first hit on the presumably final phase of the boss. Next up: Talal PARTY STATUS Nighthand: HP 100% Na...

As usual, one crystal absorbed all of the damage, shattered with relatively little effort while the other immediately disappeared. In the party lineup, the vines binding one of their powerhouse members withered and died. Unfortunately perhaps for the timing of the remainder of the battle, it was Nig...

More damage! Next up: Sheena Sheena was actually a little disappointed with the boss's move set. It was unfortunate; with all the buffs, she was looking forward to a little rampant destruction. Still, she was powerful enough, she could deal a ton of damage even without buffs. Which is exactly what s...

The earth spell did its damage, heaping more on to the boss of this swiftly-ending fight. There was so little left to do. Xenobia, Sekai saw, was lounged as if in complete relaxation. However, her fingers played along her spear, back and forth, as if in anticipation. Next up: Canti and Shadow PARTY ...

The Willowman, despite his stoicism, was definitely showing the effects of all of the damage he had sustained in the prolonged exchange. One-armed, with a head and torso cracked and broken, a leg missing a piece, he would certainly fall sooner rather than later. Next up: Nall Still bound. Next up: D...

Canti's shot blasts a sizable chunk out of the Willowman's leg, but not quite enough to destroy its functionality. Next up: The Willowman The Willowman creaked when he moved, feeling the strain of the pure physical damage to his form, as well as the weight of the debuffs applied to him. His fruit bu...

Surprisingly enough, the debuff managed to cancel out the existing buff, though it didn't also apply an additional layer of debuff on top of it. Next up: Canti and Shadow PARTY STATUS Nighthand: HP 100%, Vinebound Nall: HP 100%: Vinebound Sheena: HP 80%, AP EVERYTHING Demorian: HP 100% Canti and Sha...
