Develius Develius Spoiled Bread Spoiled Bread

Connor's katana hit the monster quite solidly, and even managed to bury into its body. However, it did nothing to actually stop it, and he quickly pulled back as he observed it immediately starting to regenerate the shape it lost from his attack. Great, now we know that won't be effective. Meanwhile, he notices Velvet helped the man behind him get up and away from the rubble. Introducing himself as Elliot, the man quickly warned them to retreat. Velvet seemed to agree. He nodded as he urged the both of them to move away and towards the outside. Given how this monster seemed to emerge from the ooze they have been seeing since way earlier, there's probably more of them outside as well, but the more open area might provide more escape routes. What Elliot was saying certainly made sense.

"Aye, good idea! The others might be in the same situation...!" he said as he started to back up towards the opening that they came in from, watching the monster complete its regeneration. The monster then suddenly spits out a mass from its mouth, and he rolls backwards along the ground in a split second decision, not wanting to know what the ooze might do to him. At this point, a [Sonic Strike] at the monster might be a good idea to try and stall its advance.

Actions:
  • Dodge globster attack
  • Move towards the square Connor was in the previous turn.
  • [Sonic Strike] at the globster
Sonic Strike - Magic E, Range F, Performance F - Briefly play a note imbued with magic, generating a sound dealing damage to a target up to 30 ft away - Grade E - 1 Post Cooldown

Davito saw Rios shred a monster out of the corner of his eye, then stepped back to avoid the pus spraying from the globster's ruined eye. He quickly parried the flurry of blows thrown by the slowly recovering monster. "This regen is a problem." Davito muttered to himself. He called over to Rios. "They seem to be healing through the ooze pits. Try to get it away to kill it more efficiently." Davito looked for a suitable place to draw the monster, and a patch of fire caught his eye. I could use that to my advantage. My attacks aren't very effective anyway. He slashed at the monster, hitting a few smaller eyes, mostly to make sure it followed him. Davito then backed up, towards the fire. He tried to keep at least part of it between him and the monster.

Actions 3/3
1. Block the monster's attacks
2. Attract attention through an attack at a smaller eye
3. Reposition near the fire​
 
Rios
Mentions: Develius Develius

Rios was surprised to find that the goop monster was able to withstand the sensation of getting cut by his vorpal blade technique. Times were tough for those who followed the way of the sword. Luckily that wasn't the only method by which he could fight these creatures. He'd been developing something new as of late. Although it was a new development in his training. Rios thought it would at least make a little difference in this fight. First he popped off his [Energized F]. His next move was to trigger a weaker version of his previous move. However the difference would be in the content of this move rather than its overall power. The ground at Rios's feet grew darker as if drinking in the shadows whilst his twin katana had embers spark to life at the edges. Making a quick series of slashes with his now burning blades. Rios wanted to see if the slime creature could deal with being burned and vorpal bladed at the same time.

He'd first begun developing the ability to coat his swords in flame after his body began to generate a pool of darkness at his feet. Rios lacked the vision to see through the shadows if they got too dark. Hence why he had taught himself to light his swords aflame. The trigger was simple, the bloodlust he felt towards those higher powers who got off on deciding his fate. Whilst cutting into the monsters, Rios did his best to catch any goop in his mouth so he could [Devour F] it. What didn't kill him could only make him stronger.
Actions
.Energize F to reduce cooldown on Fighting Style
.Blight F (Flame) + Aura F (Darkness)

As the globster loomed over Connor, ready to attack once more, it would reel violently at the shrieking Sonic Attack shocking its system. The musician would find this attack to be much more effective, as the rapid vibrations caused the monster's mass to convulse and spasm wildly. It groaned terribly while flailing around in the muck. It certainly looked as it was going to take a minute to recuperate, leaving enough time for Connor, Velvet and Elliot to escape the burning manor from which they came.

Velvet quickly grabbed the squire's sword and gave it to him. The blonde man kindly thanked her, "T-Thanks-" When she asked Elliot if there were any other survivors in the building, the squire shook his head. "N-Not that I know of," he stated unsurely, "But my master, Sir Raedolf, must be somewhere nearby... We got separated when doing our search here; I was inside, while he was outside. Some of these, "globsters" as he refers them attacked him... then the ceiling collapsed and I, well, got caught in it. He must be somewhere nearby!"

Once the three were back outside, they would find the others being harassed by three additional globsters, one for each member! Rios and Davito were busy taking care of their respected opponents, though the one near Aniel was getting the upper hand!

"Oh gods..." Elliot shakily breathed as he overlooked the battle taking place before them, "They must be your friends right?"

As Davito slashed against the globster's smaller eyes, they would combust in place before a new set grew in another location. However, these eyes were significantly smaller than the ones before... probably due to the limited about of goo they had on hand. Small splotches continued to leak from its body, splattering to the ground like melting sewage. The knight carefully positioned himself partly behind the fire, as if beckoning for it to come closer. Indeed, the globster would actively try to avoid touching the spitting flames; its black essence recoiling in on itself as it got closer.

It definitely had an adverse reaction to the extreme heat.

Nonetheless, the gangly cyclops wobbled ever closer, attempting to keep itself a considerable distance from the fire. It issued a squealing gurgle and quickly hurdled towards Davito with outstretched arms!

Rios' enhanced strikes, a combination of vorpal and flame, seared into his globster's body with acute precision. What would've been resolved quickly with its healing factor would turn into a melting mess as its entire torso had now caught fire. The flaming globster unleashed an anguished moan as it tried desperately to pad itself out; its thick ooze trying to surpress its burning body. Given it was still connected to the ooze-pile, this process would begin to proceed, albeit slowly. But it certainly affected the globster rather severely, as it wildly thrashed in place with arms flailing around madly. As it did, loose bits of tar would be flung from its body.

One of these large inky-black globs of tar would happen to find its way towards the blue-haired swordsman's mouth. Biting into it would be as if he was biting into very sticky taffy and unsurprisingly tasting of crude oil and tar. It would be incredibly unpleasant and vile experience, but should Rios be brave enough to swallow it, something else would occur. He'd feel a sharp piercing sensation flood his mind as visions flickered through his consciousness like that of a disturbing fever dream. A nightmare. He could barely discern what was going on or what he was shown given the breakneck speeds at which these scenes flickered, but there would be elements that would stick out to him:

A city burning. People fleeing. Ooze corrupting everything it swallowed. Globsters changing into something bigger. More monstrous. A divine entity loomed over the infection. Clad in white and gold; a blade of blinding light. A gargantuan explosion. A high pitched whine festered with the anguished cries of thousands. A glowing xanthic eye. Fanged splayed teeth.

The very last image... a silhouetted entity looming over ruins. Gigantic... hunch-backed... monstrous. It roared; the whine becoming distorted and ever louder as vision fades to white-

Then it ends, as Rios would find himself focused back onto reality. What felt like minutes would all be over in a matter of seconds. Whatever he could discern from this experience was hazy yet disturbing. It would feel as if he saw something that no mortal being was supposed to see. Yet he would feel as if he was... seen. He was seen and tainted by... something. Something indescribable*. But he wouldn't have much time to process this information as the globster he just struck would lurch its gooey arm forward and extend forth in order to grab him! Should it succeed, the beast would attempt to pull him into the ooze pit!

- Mark Of Dread F: After ingesting a piece of the black tar, Rios found himself harassed by ominous spastic visions of events relating to the consumed. You feel as if something had seen you, tainting you with an essence of unknown consistency. You're unable to adequately describe what you've seen to others, only how it made you feel. No other adverse affects can be determined at this time...

Velvet
Location: Palace -> Shore

Velvet listened to the squire's story as she tried to put things together piece by piece. There's a lot of question lingering in her mind but it she immediately threw that away when she witnessed her other companions battling all those globsters.

"Y-yes, they're with us." She answered before she dashed towards Aniel, he seemed to be the one needing help the most. Though, regardless of how reckless she can be, Velvet realized that her bare hands wouldn't able to damage the globster much so she didn't intend to fight them head on. Instead she would simply snatch Aniel away as she passed by, carrying him on her shoulder like a sack of potato. Velvet didn't stop running until they reach the shore. Which only then she put Aniel down and checked on him.

"Are you okay? Any injury?"

Action:
1. Move to Aniel
2. Snatch Aniel (Acrobatic F, Athletic F)
3. Move to the shore

Fortunately, it appears that the monster, a “globster”, were much more susceptible to the more magic oriented attack that Connor did, stopping it in its tracks. The brief stagger the globster experienced gave the three of them the brief few moments necessary to make their retreat back outside. Now is the time to... run away!

“That would be a correct assumption, yes.” Looking over at the rest of the team, it seems like they all encountered the same monster as them, likely rising up from the same black ooze they saw earlier inside. “Velvet...!” he started, though it seems like she thought the same thing as she was already moving towards Aniel. Connor then looked at Elliot, “I don’t know where else would be safe so uh, stay behind?” he said with a nonchalant shrug. Along with Velvet, Connor then wasted no more additional time as he started moving towards Aniel to assist.

Actions:
  • Move south towards Aniel’s position

Rios Theme Song

Rios almost threw up after that damn goo monster came into his mouth. His dismay turned to distress as seemingly the thing was part of a hivemind and began screwing with his brain. He saw visions of burned cityscapes, mass destruction, thousands dead and a large creepy eye looking over everything. Once the vision ended, Rios would find himself back where he was. The goo monster was coming for him once more. The cyan haired swordsman tried to gain any sense of the situation so he wouldn't lose himself to what he just saw. Exhaling for a moment before letting his body do the talking. Rios remembered the bitter cold he felt whilst he was training in the snow. His swords immediately caught fire as the ground beneath his feet began to soak in the shadows cast by the flames raging around them. "You are not the only danger here, beast... no... FOOD" said Rios while preparing to take another few swipes at this thing. One of them was going to eat the other and he would be certain HE was eating.

Elliot felt flustered after Connor told him to stay put, his posture giving a combination of nervous yet quirky energy. "Well, erm-" However, he wouldn't get to respond before both the musician and Velvet would jump into action to save their companion! The disfigured globster looming over Aniel was about to slam an inky black appendage atop him, only to be denied as Aniel would unfold her white feathery wings and leap into the air through [Flight F] and proceeded to fire an arrow at it*! The arrow streaked through the air and pierced right in the monster's primary eye! It cried out as the tar-laced tendril squelched on the ground, leaving bits of globular residue on the browning grass underfoot.

Velvet's momentum would find herself nearly running into the attack as Aniel flew to reposition, barely avoiding it as she skidded towards the shoreline. It was a close call for both of them. The globster gave a frustrated moan, as more eyes appeared elsewhere on its body. It bared its teeth at Velvet before noticing Connor rushing towards it. Now the globster found itself outmatched in a 3v1! Not that it seemed to comprehend his disadvantage, as it proceeded to stretch its right globular arm towards Connor and his left towards Aniel above!

Rios, meanwhile, went completely savage; focusing solely on the globster grappling him and proceeded to tear into it! Flames erupted from below their feet, scorching the globster which was followed by a fury of swipes that sliced into the tar-ladden form. The monster wailed in sheer agony as chunks of goo and bone pieces were effortlessly being cut away from his form. Its release on the swordsman would falter, before a gurgled moan of defeat had it sinking into the tar pit, still ablazed. Though as it began submerging, Rios would find the sludge sliding off its arm to reveal a humanoid hand underneath. Whether this hand was from one of its many victims or a bone-shaped hand of coincidence remained unclear before vanishing into the depths. The mound where it once stood began to bubble, as if attempting to regenerate from scratch.

However, with the amount damage that Rios had caused it, it didn't look like it was getting up anytime soon.

1). = Globster avoids fire and hits
2). = Globster avoids fire and misses
3). = Globster rushes into fire and hits
4). = Globster rushes into fire and misses

Result: [4]

In its ravaged tunnel-visioned attempt to strike at Davito, the globster he faced would find itself straying too close to the fire. Half of its body caught ablaze, its burning misery causing it to miss as a flaming appendage hurled right by its target! As it dealt with the flames enrapturing its form, for that moment it would be too concentrated on his current affliction to refocus on its target...


*Added at Faynorae Faynorae 's request via DM; figured they should have the higher initiative given their lack of contribution for the moment.

Swainling in Suffering. Damselette in distress.
  • Flower not a fighter, was a term that Aniel used to describe himself when people brought up scuffles. This is why, for the most part, Aniel had not contributed much of anything at all during their current battle of black tar. Had his mind not drifted to the niceties of not having to participate in such beastly action, Aniel would not have had to face the red reality of the current circumstances.

    He'd groan, a hoase sound accompanied by how his face had become like a crumpled piece of paper as he'd tightly grasp onto his right hand, with his left in futile attempt to minimize any bleeding. The creature loomed over him, and he felt himself tremble. Yet, it occured to him that a creature such as this could not do anything to him that mattered—afterall, only love is true and one must be brave and strong to protect the people they loved.

    He knew he could not do anything effective in such close range, so Aniel breathed and attempted to ignore the blasted pain in his right arm. At this point, Aniel had become more a swainling in suffering than a heroic rescuer of the people, which made more sense in the anycase but having one's arm thrushed about by a monster really didn't seem very attractive.

    As Aniel made his ascent, with his gently blushed wings beating the air at the same pace of his heartbeat. The exxhilaration, fear, throbbing pain, adrenaline, the feeling of taking flight; it all made his heart pound as though he were running down a steep hill from a boulder which was merely an inch away from him. He saw Velvet and Connor running up to him in a rush, and smiled. They seemed worried, and though he hated himself for being a reason of concern, he felt happy to know there were at least two people in this world who care enough about him to be worried.

    "Ahaha~ I'm doing... p- perfectly lovely!" Aniel forced a smile as he waved down to the two, his voice cracked. "W- well, except my arm has been a bit... uhm..." He averted his eyes as he lifted his now torn cloak, which although already crimson, was stained more crimson by the bleed of where his arm was cut. Aniel cringed, a large wound he never thought a coward like him would ever bear, bleeding down his arm, to his wrists and then his hand; as it soaked into the pale fabric of his sleeve. Aniel tilted his head as he'd nervously laugh, "Haha~ Grotesque, eh? What a waste... of perfectly good clothes..." He was more worried about it scarring rather than the clothing.

    Aniel turned his attention to the Globster who was hurling another jab toward him. "Take a hint, won't cha!?" He'd shout, now that Aniel had some distance he felt he'd a better shot at doing something. He'd weakly lift his right hand to where a string would usually be on a bow, "No one's interested!" He'd yell, [A1] – [The Trembling Throbs of First Love] with a deep breath, Aniel began to quickly chant, "O fair mother of roses red and white, the weaver of wiles and deathless star of sunfall, sunrise and moonlit night;" A rose coloured energy began to conjure around Aniel's bleeding hand as he slowly pulled the unexisting string of his bow, conjuring an arrow filled with the emotions of love given light by mana, "heed me now, if ever before, and bring the agonies of adoration upon whom dare deny thy will!" As though bursting into full bloom, a sigil of venus' rose manifested before Aniel's bow, which would then scatter into dispersing petals briefly dancing into sparks of light and then nothing; as Aniel released his delicate hold onto the unexisting string, allowing the magical arrow to fly into the air like a shooting star leaving behind a trail of dwindling petals as it hopefully hurled into the Globster's arm.

The sounds of combat from other party members continued. Shouldn’t be anything that they can’t handle, and so Connor kept his focus on the globster attacking Aniel. Velvet shouted out what he was already thinking. “Here to help!”

Aniel was hurt, but it doesn’t seem to have been bad enough to affect his ability to fly. The noise from the pouring rain was a bit annoying, but Connor was able to understand that he isn't out of action quite yet. Good. Now that he was close enough to attract the attention of the globster that was attacking just a few moments before, he stops a few feet away. Hearing Aniel shout back at the globster, Connor brings his violin back up. Going for another [Sonic Strike] as he heard Aniel chanting behind him, he notices the black growth stretching out towards him. In response, he quickly swings out his katana defensively, hoping to hit the arm moving towards him.

Actions:
  • [Sonic Strike] at globster
  • Attack globster arm with Katana (D)
