Final Fantasy: Chaos Crystal [IC]

[Ramsus]

The elk suddenly finding itself uninterested in the battle wanders a bit away from everything else and just tries not to get hurt.

Two dead shrubs, one living shrub, and an ape find no purchase against their foes. Not surprisingly at all in two cases and very surprisingly in one.

Zyrn moves 30 feet forwards towards the deer, getting really frustrated with all this. But the deer needed del with, so hopefully for the final time she would try to stop them. She would do her best to soothe them and calm them. She would try to make them more friendly to her and her group otherwise she would have to start attacking and she'd rather svoid that. She liked deer after all.

Thanks to her prior efforts, Zyrn manages to convince the elk to aid them.

The witch pops her head back around a tree and tries to make Three Claw laugh again, but apparently the joke falls flat instead of him. She then scampers off after Priya Rees.

[Ramsus]

Three Claw smashes one of the dead shrubs to bits and pieces and a moment later Moowgli sends the next into the fire where it quickly burns to ash.

Moowgli's strike at the broom it blocked by one of its own and then it smacks him about the head for good measure. He can tell one more hit and he'll be out like a light.

One of the deer finally gets a kick in on Deshy.

Zyrn gets double teamed by a deer and a shrub, but remains standing. If only barely.

Priya Rees, rescuee(?), runs by whipping a deer expertly across the throat causing it to bleed out in moments. Though by that point she's already moved further on.

[Dr.Gunsforhands]

Deshy gets into the rhythm of the weirdly cute deer's calculated leaps and notices monsters being blown around and cooked in their own bonfire. "Wow! That's cool, Moowgli! Can- MYEOW!"

As she tries to be encouraging, one deer kicks her right in the shin while the others start changing targets.

"Priya! Look out-"

Of course, that one gets cut down immediately. It only just now occurs to Deshy that the weapons dealer was probably far from defenseless on her own. "Oh, huh. Nice!"

She catches sight of the witch as it runs through the trees, but not for long enough to try lining up a shot. Meanwhile, Moowgli is getting pounded by the shrub and the broom, and that stupid ape is still menacing Storm.

"Okay! Time to start closing this out!" She claps the crab claw on her right hand and starts pruning the annoying shrub to punish it for turning its back on her. Or at least, she assumes this must be its back if it was attacking Zyrn.

Wandering Storm's taunt gets a clear "No" as the ape knocks the hand that was to fling the bolt of lightning aside and is just flies up into the air. While it's distracted, the Elk Zyrn has made friends with brushes past one of the animate brushes, evading an attack from it, and charges into the back of the ape. It turns around angry and clubs it unconscious with two blows of its fists.

Deshy lands a decent blow on the shrub, but apparently living ones are tougher than dead ones as only a few branches break off and its still animate. The shrub attempts to retaliate, but Deshy fends it off.

Zyrn grunts slightly as tough bush branches rake down her body, and a nearby deer bites her. "Dang it, stop that! I'm already busted up, why attack us?" Zyrn says, ostly to heraelf. She sidn't expect the deer nor the bush to respond. Any plans for what we want to do here? This is getting bad." Zyrn says to D'Shi, as she swings at AS2 with her greatsword.

Moowgli bests the animated broom in a contest of best stick. In defeat it falls to the ground, never to be used for violence again.

Three Claw stabs into the bush... which normally wouldn't do a whole lot, but it was down to just core branches and some leaves already so he manages to snap it apart anyway.

One deer distracts Deshy while the other manages to bite her of all things! How rude! (And surprisingly painful coming from a prey animal!)

Priya circles around and tries to whip another deer, but she's apparently run out of her astounding luck and the whip gets snagged on a branch for a bit instead of hitting her target.

"It looks like Priya's clear!" Deshy calls back to Zyrn over the aggressive hedge. "We still need to finish off that green jynx! After that, the animals might-"

As she speaks, Kimiko experiences a sensation that's entirely new to her, like sitting on a tack while your spine twists up inside you. D'Shi recognizes the feeling immediately.

"NYAAAH! My tail! Let go! Bad deer!"

Deshy drubs the deer on the nose with her bow and starts casting her attack spell. The deer startles and rears up before letting go, sending Deshy cartwheeling into the shrub behind her just as the spell finishes...

Wandering Storm shocks the ape. It seems to be unaffected, but as it's about to slam its arms down on the mage, it instead collapses to the ground as it heart had stopped.

Deshy gives a shrub a good trimming and it gives her a good thrashing as they trying to extricate themselves from each other, but as she remains standing, so does it.

Zyrn watches as the dear Bites Deshy's tail and supreshe'd the brief desire to laugh over the antics that follow. "Moowgli and Three Claw are nearest her if that's what you mean. But i'm too hurt to take on a witch. But I may as well help you untill I pass out again." Zyrn said with a lay sigh. Everything hurt. She was fighting off the effects of pain and many injuries. She was as beat up as was possible without loosing conciousness.

Zyrn swings her antler greatsword at the bush, hoping to take it out. "Sorry bush. I'd let you be but assisting a kidnapper is bad." Zyrn said slowly, tired and in pain. Perhaps too much in pain to think super clearly.

The witch comes from out behind the trees and seeing her enemies all closely together with very few of her allies in their midst cast a spell to make them sleep. Three Claw and Wandering Storm are the only ones still awake to hear the loud painful sounding thump as Moowgli falls to the ground, looking a bit more naturally unconscious than the other two.

One of the deer stamps hard down onto Deshy, knocking her out properly and moves over to Priya who had tried to whip it before. A moment later though, Deshy somehow recovers from this blow and awakens, conscious once more. The other deer, tries to attack Three Claw as he wakes Zyrn up, but he parries its blow.

Zyrn shook her head as she stands, damn witch. They needed to end this before it got out of hand. People were hurt and she was barely concious herself.

"Someone get towards Priya before she gets hurt. I would but this deer and bush have be held back." Zyrn said loudly, regainine balance and swinging her greatsword at Dr1. After the deer passes out, Zyrn moves from Z18 to Z20.

And now to keep the momentum going. After all, "it is the foolish tactician that fails to maintain their grip on victory once it is within their grasp."

Wandering Storm thought to himself as he advanced. He incanted in ignan brandishing the coal to release a bolt of lightning at the deer. After all it would be the easiest available target to hit.

Having been knocked unconscious in two different ways, Kimiko and D'Shi meet each other on a road to hell.

I've failed you, says Kimiko. I made a promise I couldn't keep, just like with everyone else...

I didn't ask for you to help me! D'shi snarls from her makeshift campsite by the roadside. For me, this is normal. I'll deal with it alone like I always do. You're the one with the family and friends to go back to.

No, I... I can't. I shouldn't! Kimiko turns and starts to walk down the road, no longer paying attention to her surroundings. They're better off without me anyway... even if I've fooled them into not thinking so...

So what if they are?! D'shi feels dumb if that's the best encouragement she could come up with, but the kid can no longer hear her over her own absurd mumbling anyway. Angered, D'shi scatters dream caltrops on the road in Kimiko's path. She steps right on them in her bare feet and jumps in surprise, only to fall backwards into more caltrops.

"Whia!" Deshy yelps as she sits up from the prickly bush, which is still thrashing about beneath her. She's brushed and picked through a dozen thorns before she realizes she's back in the real world. Game world. Whatever.

As her teammates converge on the evil plant, she absentmindedly joins them in finishing it off as she gets her bearings.
