Moblin Major General Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Abeloth swung his axe again, hoping that it would hit. If not, he knew his little cleric friend might end up in more than one piece. He wanted to warn her that the other one would still have enough stamina to reach her, but he also knew that the one in front of him would cause more problems if his axe didn't hit this brigand right now.

Toyotasomi no Miko Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Ah, excellent. Bidding farewell to the village, she looked over northwards and could hear some voices somewhat faintly. Mi'iltha lets out a somewhat irritated groan before flying over to I9, attacking the Brigand. Hopefully she's still got her combat touch.

Enaluxeme Posted July 18, 2017 Author Share Posted July 18, 2017 (edited) The second hit from Abeloth's axe was enough to defeat the brigand. He was still alive, but there was no way he was going to get up anytime soon. Abeloth hits for 11 damage and kills Brigand 2 Abeloth gains 30 Exp Meanwhile, Mi'iltha engaged the bandit on the hill. The hill made hitting him slightly harder, but the knight's swift and accurate weapon made up for that. However, the man responded immediately and got a good hit on Mi'iltha's leg. Mi'iltha hits and deals 5 damage, Brigand 3 retaliates and deals 9 damage Mi'hilta gains 10 Exp Edited July 19, 2017 by Enaluxeme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toogee Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Ahava simply watched as Abeloth took down one of the bandits. He seemed more capable than she realized. One still remained, and he was getting a little too close. The cleric moved to C2 to avoid a confrontation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enaluxeme Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) Being too far from the cleric, the bandit opted to attack Abeloth instead. He made a good swing, but the hit barely connected. The luck of Abeloth's opponent had yet to run out, as he also dodged both of Abeloth's strikes. The albiran man could feel that something was wrong with his wound: the weapon of the bandit was coated in poison. Brigand 1 hits and deals 6 damage, Abeloth retaliates but misses twice Abeloth is poisoned for 4 turns. Abeloth gains 1 Exp On the hill, the bandit tried to finish Mi'iltha, but she dodged the attack with ease, and responded with a cut that barely grazed the brigand. To keep fighting on that hill was a bad idea, since the man, unlike Mi'iltha, could use the terrain to his advantage. Brigand 3 misses, Mi'iltha retaliates and deals 5 damage Mi'iltha gains 10 Exp Reinforcements data: Spoiler the Brigand 4 (K1) has a Venin Axe: Dmg 11 Acc 70 Avo 4 Crit 1 CE 2 AS 1 Hunter: hp 19 str 4 mag 0 skl 4 spd 6 lck 2 def 3 res 0 With Poison Bow: Dmg 9 Acc 84 Avo 10 Crit 2 CE 2 AS 4 Edited July 19, 2017 by Enaluxeme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moblin Major General Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Abeloth knew that the hit wasn't serious in the least, but the poison it had on it might kill him if he didn't kill the bandit quickly. He attacks, hoping the enemy would die before the cleric girl went to heal him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toogee Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Ahava saw Abeloth take a hit from the enemy, but she could not see the severity of the wound from her vantage point. The cleric moved to B3, ready to rush in as soon as the enemy was taken care of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enaluxeme Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 Abeloth could feel the effects of the wound. The poison was debilitating him. He swung his axe, hitting the bandit, but his next blow went blank, as did the one from his opponent. Abeloth loses 2 HP from the poison Abeloth hits for 11 damage, Brigand 1 retaliates but misses, Abeloth follows up but misses Abeloth gains 10 Exp The cleric moved closer, but still at a reasonable distance from the bandit.

ThicreanPhoenix Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) Finally, the tree toppled over, providing a very convenient bridge. Sicon balanced his way across it and continued to march forward, keeping his orders in mind. The man next to him didn't look like the type to attack civilians. No, he seemed more of a burglar. But burglars were not what Sicon was here to stop. Sicon to P10 Edited July 19, 2017 by ThicreanPhoenix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyotasomi no Miko Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 ...Yeah, no. This wasn't working much in her favor at all. For the moment, Mi'iltha flies over to F11, popping a Vulnerary. She's not gonna be doing much to that brigand while he's on the mountains like that. Sure, he was weakened, but so was she. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enaluxeme Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 The brigand with the poisoned axe kept attacking Abeloth, and was joined by another with a similar weapon. He wounded his opponent again, this time on one of his bare thighs. Abeloth responded, and this time his axe made a good cut through the bandit's torso, leaving him on the ground, weak and in pain. Brigand 1 hits for 6 damage, Abeloth retaliates and deals 11 damage, Abeloth kills Bandit 1 Abeloth gains 30 Exp Sicon was right beside the cloaked bandit. The man saw the soldier and unsheathed his sword, but the first to attack was another enemy. He also wielded a sword, and looked more like a mercenary than an actual bandit. Sicon was fast enough to dodge his swing however, and responded with a quick thrust of his lance Mercenary misses, Sicon retaliates and deals 7 damage Sicon gains 10 Exp The other guy also swung his sword at Sicon, with the same exact result. Thief misses, Sicon retaliates and deals 9 damage Sicon gains 17 Exp The soldier heard a noise and looked to find an arrow in a nearby tree. It was probably meant for him, but thankfully missed the mark. Hunter misses Sicon gains 1 Exp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThicreanPhoenix Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) Sicon had stopped for a breather amidst a few trees. They provided cover and something sturdy to lean on. Marching is tiresome. But no sooner had he glanced at, and ignored, the burglar-looking-guy than a rustling of leaves alerted him to a more threatening presence. A more official-looking swordsman charged. Sicon sidestepped and responded with a quick poke. Orders were unless civilians were endangered, but basic protocol says if you are attacked, fight back. He looked back at the thiefy guy, only to see him swing a blade too! Sicon sidestepped again, responding in kind with a good thrust, and immediately after this happened, a loud thunk left an arrow in a nearby tree. That was close...Ugh, I could use better cover. Maybe a vantage point higher up...Damn. Sicon resolved that the best way to resolve this was to take them all down. One...by...one. "I wasn't going to attack before, but you've forced my hand!" Sicon to Q9, Attack Hunter. If this is not doable, stay put and attack Thief.

Toyotasomi no Miko Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Alright, Brigand's off the mountain, so... Time for round two! Mi'iltha returns to I9 and waits. Slow and steady... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moblin Major General Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Abeloth wasn't about to risk ceding the grove to the enemy. He instead switched out his regular axe for the hatchet he had and attacked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toogee Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Ahava stayed put as Abeloth tried a different tactic. Given his recent spat of misses, she began to pray for a hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enaluxeme Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) Sicon had the high ground, and some boulders to repair him from the arrows. He attacked the archer, who was in no position to counterattack. Sicon hits for 6 damage Sicon gains 10 Exp Meanwhile, Abeloth switched to ranged offense. Like many other weapons of its kind, the hatcet had a simple enchantment to make it return to the user after being hurled. For two times, Abeloth threw the axe and it wounded the bandit before returning in the hands of his owner. Of course, Abeloth still suffered from the effects of the poison. Abeloth loses 5 HP from the poison Abeloth hits for 8 damage, then follows up and hits for 8 damage Abeloth gains 10 Exp The bandit rushed to its target, but his strike went straight into the side of a tree, giving Abeloth the perfect opportunity to finish him. Bandit 4 misses, Abeloth retaliates and deals 8 damage, Abeloth kills Bandit 4 Abeloth gains 30 Exp Level up! As for Sicon, the swordsman circled around him to take a more advantageous position between the trees and attacked the soldier again, this time with a better result, as he got a good cut on the target's right leg. Sicon poked the man again in return. Mercenary hits for 4 damage, Sicon retaliates and deals 6 damage Sicon gains 10 Exp The jovian barely noticed another arrow that failed to hit him. As for the thief, there was no trace of him. Hunter misses Sicon gains 1 Exp As soon as Mi'iltha got lower to fight with the now exposed bandit, he leaped forward and swung the axe at the girl's sword arm. She wasn't fast enough to completely avoid the attack and was wounded, but at least her arm wasn't cut off. She was still able to attack effectively on her pegasus, and proved it by thrusting the tip of her sword right through the opponent's shoulder. Brigand 3 hits for 9 damage, Mi'iltha retaliates and deals 7 damage Mi'iltha gains 10 Exp Edited July 21, 2017 by Enaluxeme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThicreanPhoenix Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 "Gyaah!" Sicon had taken an advantageous vantage point, but still that swordsman was...ugh! He wasn't going down quickly. Another arrow came and missed. No matter. Hopefully a third would just miss too. But with his current lance out, Sicon couldn't strike back at the archer without exposing himself. He considered the javelin strapped to him for a moment...but no. He couldn't move very quickly using it, and he could always strike back later. But what he could do..."Hyaaaargh!" Attack Mercenary, hope that Hunter misses again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moblin Major General Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Knowing he wasn't in any immediate danger, Abeloth decided to put away his hatchet, but decided that he needed to stay there. "I hope she comes soon. I don't feel good in the least." Even though he was a great deal more intelligent about survival, he could neither revitalize himself nor treat the poisoned wound. He figured it wouldn't be long before he could suck the poison out, but how close to death would he be before he could spit it out of his mouth?

Toogee Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 With the nearby enemies dispatched, Ahava moved to E3 and healed Abeloth with her staff. She closed her eyes and concentrated as the healing aura surrounded Abeloth, closing his wounds. While he was much better off than before, there was still the matter of poison. "You're poisoned," Ahava said, concern etched on her face. "You really shouldn't be out fighting until it's out of your system." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyotasomi no Miko Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 ...Mh. This fight really wasn't going as well as she had hoped. This one brigand was nearly enough to strike her down. That's one of the hardest things about being a pegasus knight: You're too frail all the time, but she's gonna try and see that gets changed. For now, Mi'iltha attacks the Brigand again, hopefully killing him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enaluxeme Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 This time, Sicon was the one attacking the mercenary, keeping him at bay with his longer weapon. The swordsman took the hit, but was surprisingly able to strike back by hitting Sicon's arm during the attack. Sicon hits for 6 damage (2/21), Mercenary retaliates and deals 4 damage (12/20) Sicon gains 10 Exp Ahava finally put her Staff to use, healing Abeloth and relieving his pain, though the man was still afflicted by the poison. Abeloth loses 3 HP from the poison (1/23) Ahava heals 12 HP to Abeloth (13/23) Ahava gains 11 Exp With a swift slash, Mi'iltha got rid of her opponent, who fell to the ground. Mi'iltha hits for 7 damage and kills Brigand 3 Mi'iltha gains 31 Exp The enemies around Sicon moved around. The swordsman started fleeing, the archer got a better position and the thief shew himself again. The higher position didn't help the bowmen with his accuracy, as another arrow missed Sicon Thief recovers 5 HP (14/18) Hunter misses Sicon gains 1 Exp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThicreanPhoenix Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) Sicon had once again struck the swordsman, but not without consequenses. He failed to parry the next strike. And with that, the man began to run. Probably to gain some distance and patch his wounds before coming back for another round. That will not do, Sicon thought. I can hardly take him at full strength! A second wind would be...deadly. But at the same time, the soldier was unwilling to surrender his high ground. Fortunately, though, he didn't have to.

Strange, she didn't expect anyone aside from the soldier and herself to be fighting up here, yet there are... She'll probably have to improvise.
