Snowfall was out of ideas when it came to taking on two Maggots. It only made sense to him to even the odds - with another Lightning Blast from Tatsu Blaster!

"Anybody for fried Maggot? I hear it's MMMmmmMMM, good!"

Please confirm which one you are aiming at: Maggot 1 which is badly injured, or Maggot 2 that is only slightly hurt?

 

[Purr]

Snowfall is going to kill Maggot 1 until it is dead! That's how it's done, right? Yeaaah! =)

That's what I thought, but I was just making sure.

The bolt flies out, striking the Maggot, searing flesh and causing it even more harm. It is nearly finished.

Gawking and blanching, Snowfall took a long look at the first Maggot. It was shot-up, lightning-toasted, beaten, slashed, probably cursed, and still it hung on! Though he was sure only Daisy could hear him, Snowfall shouted at it.

"Maggot I dubbed
Smelly, Fat, and Ugly
Just die already!"

 

[Sherwood]

With D. Rex's permission, I am having Daisy fire on the badly injured Maggot, using the silver rounds of her Boom Gun. The round hits, penetrating deep into the body of the Maggot, punching into its black heart, finally killing the twisted monstrosity.

The second Maggot sees its comrade fall to the Boom Gun round, but it has Terra's Automations in its face right now so it can't extract its revenge upon the Glitter Boy suit. Clawing at Junior once more, it will hit unless you dodge or parry.

When Zephiron swings his weapon, his balance is slightly off. As the glaive hits, it bounces off of the thick hide of the Maggot and the impact makes it slip out of your hands and it clatters to the ground!

Terra grins at the sight of the first Maggot falling under their attacks, but she also knows that there is still a lot to do before the fight is won. With a thought, she orders Junior and Baby to once more attack with their swords, and casts Desiccate the Supernatural from Tiny using one of her PPE batteries to fuel the spell.

As the Automations attack, the Maggot is able to dodge out of the way of Baby's sword strike, but wasn't quite fast enough to evade Junior, and it takes the hit.

Snowfall saw Zephiron's halberd fall out of his grasp and onto the ground. Snowfall gasped. The last thing he wanted was Zephiron without his best melee weapon, or worse, the Maggot doing something to it while it was momentarily unattended.

Snowfall swiftly moved to grab the majestic halberd and return it to its majestic owner, but at the very last moment he remembered this was a rune weapon!

The centuries-old Kitsune paused just inches from the sacred steel. "Listen, Long, Sharp, and Deadly! I am only trying to return you to your proper wielder so don't do anything funny to me, okay?"

With that, Snowfall reverently pick up the halberd and both his hands and threw it straight back to Zephiron. "Hey, Zeph! Catch!"

 

[Sherwood]

Snowfall's words must have had the right effect on the halberd, as it doesn't do anything harmful to the fox-spirit as you grab it up and toss it in Zephiron's direction to keep it from the clutches of the Maggot.

Now that one maggot got to enjoy the explosive pleasures of the boom gun. Now it was time for the other to as well! Daisy herself was already feeling quite thrilled, for not even the power suits internal dampeners could nullify all the of the bone shattering crunch of the blast. Though what remained was not something she could or would explain.

All she needed was an excuse, and being here offered plenty. With the only regret being she couldn't fire them fast enough.

Another silver round to another demon!

Strike: 33
Damage: 110 silver

 

[Sherwood]

The silver bullet slams home, causing a large gout of blood to spray out of the wound.

Still, the Maggot is not out of the fight yet. It sees a chance to do some harm to the dragon, and swings a deadly claw at Zephiron. It will hit unless you either dodge or parry.

Rykon has a defense to roll, then it is time for Mirgris to act. Do you have any actions left?

Zephiron raised a hand to catch Cutting Squall from Snowfall's toss in the nick of time to attempt deflecting the claws of the Maggot with it.
