Near Midnight, Merch 3 Gravday. //
[OOC] WC GM: BGM: http:/‘`/www.wingedcat.org/rps/``trombe.mid
[OOC] Hector: Am I going to get a chance to roll a free turn?
The party floats in the middle of the hollowed-out moon. To one side is the hole Trombe just punched on its way in. To the other, the one that the mow Grav had become punched on its way out.
[OOC] WC GM: Yes - once combat begins
[OOC] Pak: If everyone’s revived, someone use a Megalixir! Unless we're getting a free pre-final-battle-heal?
Pak: "!"
Pak: "H…he's not a computer at all!"
Pak: "…That means we can finish him off!"
[OOC] WC GM: Everyone's revived, but yeah, it's time to heal up.
Hector: "Somehow, I'm not really surprised. Alright, everyone. Let's get prepped!"
Pak crawls up onto Trombe.
Pak: "Megalixir time!"
Cassandra Lionheart: "Okay." *pulls one out* "drink up!"
ORN: "… It did not have to be mechanical. But another reason to wipe its existance from our world!"
Eric Lionheart: "Or at least weaken him enough to allow Ahiru's amulet to do its thing…"
Sakha fullheals herself.
Pak is restored by the Megalixir!
Ahiru: "But… I thought…"
ORN tears himself out of the outer wall, motions at the hole to the other selves and splits his old reliable arm one more time
Cassandra Lionheart: "Lets just finish this up, and sort it out after."
Pak is on Trombe. "Everyone get on! We'll chase him out into space!"
ORN looks at Cassie
ORN: "These things always DO seem to have swallowed potion vials… It must be a big one"
Ahiru doesn't look exactly the same… the fact she's human with feathers and wings means SOMETHING happened… And she seemed to glow too.
[OOC] Pak: HP-MP max~
Felicia leaps up onto Trombe. "Let's do it then!"
Pak: "…Oh! Ahiru, you're all glowy. :O"
Cassandra Lionheart hops on Trombe then looks back at ORN "What do you mean?"
Ahiru: "Grav, come out please?" She holds out a hand for the spirit.
A rippling sphere of distortion, about the size of the other spirits, appears in Ahiru's hand. "Yes, mama?"
Pak: "!"
Eric Lionheart heads on over to Trombe. "I hope you know what you're doing, Ahiru."
Pak: "Wait, if that's grav, then what's that out there…?"
ORN: "… Its a mow. The least climatic addition to battle one could ever lack a wish for."
Riia blinks
Riia frowns.
ORN: "… Climactic. In any case, the only thing to look forward to now is some overly large potion from killing it. Oh. and saving This World."
Cassandra Lionheart: "so..we were fighting against the biggest blade of grass known to man?"
Hector: "Whatever the hell it is, let's crush it so nothin' can screw up our world again!"
Pak imagines a /giant/ potion.
Pak: ":o"
Ahiru pets Grav. Can you tell me what that is?" She asks, pointing to the mow-Grav?
Cassandra Lionheart gives a dumbfounded look "I think not. Then again, it is the craziest avatar to date."
Grav: "That's the universe, mama. The part I was formed around, anyway."
Cassandra Lionheart just shakes her head.
Ahiru: "Can you explain please? Mama doesn't understand."
ORN: "… singularity. Are you defining that mow as a self-contained universe?"
Grav: "There are a few basic forces to the universe. Gravity is one of them. 'Lectric is kinda another. The Yeti wanted to reshape everything to their will, so they came up with us spirits to try to bend the universe."
Grav, like the other spirits, seems to ignore ORN.
[OOC] Hector: It's funny. We're fighting UNIVERSE on TROMBE!, and Harry Ord, the guy who says UNIVERSE, is the same voice-actor as Ratsel: Tetsu Inada.
Grav: "Only…it didn't work out quite like they wanted."
[OOC] Hector: Also, Lu Bu, so we SHOULD NOT PURSUE UNIVERSE.
Ahiru: "What happened?"
[OOC] ORN: bah, that just means we can chain juggle the thing
[OOC] Hector: SSST times infinity.
[OOC] Hector: No, wait. SSSST.
Grav: "Too much power, no respect. I was the first spirit, made to help them escape. And I did! But then they wanted more. I felt their relief at escape turn to the same greed that made them need to escape."
Grav: "That changed me."
[OOC] Hector: SSST is the blowblack, usually used for breaking guard.
Grav: "By the time we ran into others, I was no better than they. I'm sorry we nearly killed the others, mama. But at least your friend is keeping them alive."
Grav: "They went on to their backup plan, to use this world to make more spirits, starting with 'lectric and going from there. False forces of the universe."
Grav: "But you stopped them, mama! You and your friends! But in the process…"
Grav: "…you hurt other parts of the universe. They woke up - got a tail of thought, like I did. It's tiiiny, compared to what they are, but it could grow if you don't get rid of it now."
Riia blinks.
Riia looks at the mow.
Pak: "Wah?"
Eric Lionheart: "…"
Pak: "H-how did we hurt it?"
Riia throws up a sign: "Is he saying that there is leftovers of spirits?"
Cassandra Lionheart: "Kill the biggest blade of grass known to the world."
ORN: "… That should be rather obvious. Pacifying them will require… effort."
ORN: "A few did, somewhat."
Cassandra Lionheart nods to ORN "Like we have not done this before."
Grav: "You could say that what's out there is what's left of the bad parts of the Yetis' heart. That's why it's taken the form of their babies."
ORN: "As usual, bringing Love and Peace to the villainous and sociopathically insane, one beating at a time."
ORN: "So… Kill a baby, save the world!"
Riia blinks
Riia raises a finger
Hector: "The leftovers, huh? I'm not really much for eatin' three day-old egg salad, but if that's what I gotta do, then I'm gonna be a man and eat it!"
Cassandra Lionheart is now shocked, then looks at ORN
Riia signs: "Mow is Yeti baby?"
ORN looks back at Cassie
ORN: "Doesn't that make you feel that much less terrible about harming the yeti?"
Riia frowns, fixes signs to employ proper grammar- "Mows are yeti baby?"
Felicia: "…Not the best choice of analogies."
Grav: "Well…kinda babies. Mama knows about tadpoles! This is like those. Only…the Yeti made lots of them, altered, as well as the Viera. And…other things that didn't survive; those were all cast aside. They're dead now."
Cassandra Lionheart looks at ORN "Maybe. But grass? A single blade of grass?"
ORN shrugs
Pak: "Hm."
Riia frowns and shrugs
ORN: "A blade of grass too long is slightly a minimal eyesore to a gardener. A blade of grass consuming sentients needs a lot more cutting than that."
Pak: "Well, anyway, so it's the Yeti's corruption and greed? Alright, that's fine! We have a love-elemental, so why not have the enemy be a hate-elemental, in the end?!"
[OOC] Riia: Ah, I wish I was Hector and could easily pierce the fourth wall, because that thing is SOOOO Zeromus
[OOC] ORN: more like "if zeromus screwed pikachu and their offspring went goth on us
Grav: "Does that answer mama's question?"
Ahiru: "Mama will make sure you don't have to go through the same thing then… but… how are we supposed to fight the universe?"
Hector: "Even though y'can't have love without hate, I think this is a little bit lopsided. So let's do some choppin' to make it all even."
ORN slams his fists together
Grav giggles. "Silly mama! You can't, but you don't have to. Just destroy that seed, and the rest will go back to how it's always been: asleep."
ORN: "The UNIVERSE should know its place by now anyways. It ran with its heads between its legs in that last battle anyways."
[OOC] Riia: OH
[OOC] Riia: So that's what's been absorbing the hit……..
[OOC] Riia: Oh my god.
[OOC] Hector: Oh, you know what else? This boss I just beat in Cross Edge has Lu Bu's voice-actor in English.
[OOC] Pak: …
[OOC] WC GM: What, you thought there'd be no ramifications to that? :P
[OOC] Riia: We created the boss battle by not using BDL attacks.
[OOC] Pak: >_>;
[OOC] ORN: who wasn't using BDL?
[OOC] WC GM: In a sense. It'd been forming before then - again, by not BDLing.
[OOC] Hector: You can't always BDL.
Pak …wait.
Pak: "c_c;"
[OOC] Felicia: I can!
[OOC] Hector: And it's kind of the dice's fault for not giving me crits, anyway.
[OOC] Riia: Heck, I can't do it at all! ….not that I half to.
[OOC] Felicia: 8D
Pak: "…You mean that weird barrier we kept hitting…?"
ORN: "Indeed"
Ahiru: "Thank you Grav…" She hugs him and tells him to rest.
Cassandra Lionheart: "So, we got to shatter it huh?"
ORN: "One would have thought it would understand the need to back off, but perhaps it prefered to… assimilate… the bleedoff."
Grav fades out. The other spirits gather before Ahiru.
Ahiru blinks.
Bolt: "Mama? We're kind of tired too~."
[OOC] WC GM: Remember, they're still out from the last battle.
Ahiru: "Oh dear, Thank you, all of you, we should be fine now that Grav isn't fighting us. Thank you."
Cassandra Lionheart: "Thank you guys again for carrying us."
The spirits fade out. Ahiru can feel them re-entering her amulet.
Pak: "Come on, everyone get on Trombe!"
Cassandra Lionheart holds a hand out for anybody not on Trombe.
Hector jumps on and poses. "YATTE YARUZE!"
ORN: "… It will take time to prepare mobility with the complex. Tromeis preferable at this time. Agreed. The others shall remain behind."
[OOC] ORN: gawds my lack of sleep is showing
Trombe: "No one stays behind."
Trombe PECKS, sending ORN floating towards the Mow-hole, then heads behind with everyone else aboard.
[OOC] Hector: Anytime you want me to roll the pre-emptive turn…
[OOC] WC GM: Almost there.
Outside - there is the mow, alright, chewing on the Gravlings.
It swallows them, then shimmers and doubles.
Cassandra Lionheart: "Oh…boy…"
ORN fires off some white and accelerates, not bothering to reform his legs and begins accumulating
Eric Lionheart: "That's not good."
Pak: "Meeps."
Riia and ORN can easily do the calculations - given the short doubling time, it would not be long before there was an army of them. If the party was not there now, that is.
ORN: "You always worry, and yet it all proves an amusing and excellent exercise. Forward, and annihilate!"
[OOC] WC GM: K, Hector, now.
Hector rolled 1d100 and got 66 for a total of 66
[OOC] Hector: Nope. Figures.
[OOC] WC GM: Just Cassandra, then.
Cassandra Lionheart rushes off and Duoble Cuts the Mow!
Cassandra Lionheart rolled 2#5d12+567(1) and got 2, 10, 3, 10, 10 for a total of 602
Cassandra Lionheart rolled 2#5d12+567(2) and got 12, 8, 9, 9, 1 for a total of 606
Cassandra Lionheart got a total of 1208
The Mows shriek. Which is probably a good thing - proving there is enough air to breathe out here, for the moment.
Cassandra Lionheart hops back, and smiles "Time to mow the lawn!"
WC GM: //Battle order: Sakha:58 UltimowB:36 Riia:32 Ahiru:30 UltimowA:30 Hector:29 Eric:26 Felicia:26 Cassandra:24 Sakha:23(EI) Pak:23 ORN:22 UltimowB:1(EI) //
[OOC] WC GM: Sakha!
Sakha: "Everyone's fighting again? So soon?"
Sakha prepares to fight
Mow B pounces at Riia! And then at Sakha!
WC GM rolled 2d100 and got 47, 19 for a total of 66
ORN: "Appreciate the present, Sakha! The past holds still in books!"
WC GM rolled 5d12+702 and got 3, 8, 6, 10, 7 for a total of 736
WC GM rolled 5d12+702,200% and got 8, 12, 3, 3, 8 for a total of 1472.0
WC GM got a total of 2208.0
Riia is hit for 736,ARM damage. Sakha for 1472, ARM damage.
The Mow looks healthier.
[OOC] Hector: Well, looks like Sakha's dead.
[OOC] Riia: Riia, too
[OOC] WC GM: Ahiru!
[OOC] Sakha: HP:-598/744-MP:743/963-Limit:4285/744/1116/1488/1860-SOS:186
Eric Lionheart: "They are far more powerful then their appearance suggests!"
[OOC] Hector: So…is Sakha now unreviveably dead?
[OOC] Pak: Hey. Hey Cassie.
Cassandra Lionheart: "Yeah."
[OOC] Cassandra Lionheart: Yeah
[OOC] Pak: Hey Cassie
[OOC] Eric Lionheart: Uhh…no. There's no rule that instantly kills someone.
ORN: "Verify any weaknesses!"
[OOC] Pak: Do you have Delay Attack
[OOC] Eric Lionheart: At least permakill.
[OOC] Cassandra Lionheart: yes.
[OOC] WC GM: No - Sakha's revivable.
[OOC] Pak: Would you please use it on Ultimow B so that he loses his extra turn
[OOC] Cassandra Lionheart: Will do!
[OOC] Pak: Okay thanks
[OOC] ORN: smart move
[OOC] Pak: Ahiru, you might want to wait a tick to see what UltimowA does
[OOC] ORN: actually if she can get protect up on everyone first, or even just armor up, it would be fine
[OOC] Pak: ah, yeah, ARM/MEN up would be nice
Ahiru waits a moment
[OOC] Felicia: Protect Shell is so much better >_>;
The other Mow pounces Cassandra, then ORN
[OOC] Hector: They all stack.
WC GM rolled 2d100 and got 34, 88 for a total of 122
[OOC] ORN: yeah but not sure if she has those, I always forget.
WC GM rolled 5d12+702 and got 12, 1, 3, 11, 7 for a total of 736
WC GM rolled 5d12+702 and got 12, 1, 4, 1, 9 for a total of 729
WC GM got a total of 1465
[OOC] Felicia: She does. As one action.
Cassandra is hit for 736, ARM damage. ORN for 729, ARM damage.
[OOC] WC GM: Ahiru!
The Mow looks healthier…
[OOC] Pak: May I make another request! Please try to get everyone revived :3
Cassandra Lionheart rolled 1d100 and got 22 for a total of 22
[OOC] Cassandra Lionheart: counter!
Eric Lionheart: "We won't be able to stand up to this for long…"
[OOC] Cassandra Lionheart: which Mow did that?
[OOC] Pak: B
[OOC] Pak: No, wait, A
[OOC] Riia: A
[OOC] ORN: 239. that was mow A. they're primarily physical for now.
[OOC] ORN: because ahiru waited
Cassandra Lionheart hits Mow A "MORON!"
[OOC] Hector: I'm going to Pinion Sakha.
Cassandra Lionheart rolled 5d12+567 and got 5, 2, 3, 6, 3 for a total of 586
[OOC] Hector: I've got five of them.
[OOC] Riia: I'd suggest ARM, though I request that you wait till I'm up
[OOC] Riia: Err, Protect, not ARM
[OOC] Ahiru: Eric Cover Protect?
[OOC] Cassandra Lionheart: HP: 354/897, SoS: 224
Ultimow A looks injured again.
[OOC] WC GM: Ahiru!
Ahiru uses Natures Armor and ups everyone's defense.
[OOC] WC GM: Hector!
[OOC] Pak: Which set is that?
[OOC] ORN: ORN has regen and will be shielded while charging but we want the defenses up stat.
[OOC] Ahiru: ARM/MARM up Expect Eric to do Protect
[OOC] Pak: Kay
[OOC] Felicia: Or
[OOC] Felicia: He could have scanned
[OOC] Hector: One sec. Arm/MArm up is by 25%, right?
[OOC] Felicia: and not wasted two actions doing both protect and shell
[OOC] Pak: yes
[OOC] Ahiru: yes
[OOC] Felicia: But that's cool too
[OOC] Ahiru: They haven't used magic yet
[OOC] Hector: Alright.
[OOC] Felicia: And they still hit like mack trucks
[OOC] Eric Lionheart: Doesn't mean they can't, though.
[OOC] Felicia: But again, that's cool too
Hector: "This is the final battle! For the sake of all living beings, WE WILL WIN!" *Command: Assault*
[OOC] Pak: Pinioning Sakha is good I s'pose
[OOC] WC GM: Eric!
Hector uses a Phoenix Pinion on Sakha. "Ain't no way I'm letting you stay down!"
[OOC] Pak: Need Riia up too, though, and preferably get them healed above berserk. You'll see~
[OOC] Hector: Remember, using the command isn't a used turn. CHANGING is.
[OOC] WC GM: Right.
[OOC] Eric Lionheart: Hmm…I could protectga. Or I could revive one of the KOed…
[OOC] Riia: That'd be me right now
[OOC] Ahiru: Though… Limit 4 underneath Berserk….? SEXY!!!!
[OOC] Ahiru: For Sakha
[OOC] ORN: Protectga I'd say first.
[OOC] Pak: No, revive.
[OOC] Riia: Though I must say, the ones who need protect are those who get one-shot
[OOC] Pak: You'll get another turn.
[OOC] Eric Lionheart: Ah, I know what I can use.
[OOC] Pak: I have a Limits. :3
[OOC] Pak: I have group Quick
[OOC] Pak: As my final limit
[OOC] Pak: So yeah
[OOC] ORN: well, ORN can take at least one more hit thanks to autorevive… group quick? YES
Eric Lionheart raises his staff up, as sparks of light form and drift over to the fallen. "Rebirth!" (All KOed are revived with 50% HP)
[OOC] WC GM: Felicia!
[OOC] Eric Lionheart: THere, now everyone is up for Group Quick.
[OOC] Pak: okay! Cassie or someone, Delay Attack that Mow!
[OOC] Pak: …hopefully it's not immune to Delay Attack
[OOC] Cassandra Lionheart: ok
[OOC] Riia: Lessee - Sakha and me went down, Cassie got hit but lived, and Sakha was back up - so kinda a waste, unless I'm missing someone
[OOC] Riia: I ain't complainin, tho
[OOC] Eric Lionheart: It's so Pak can Group quick everyone.
[OOC] Riia: I know
Felicia swings a pendulum from her finger, time around her slowing to halt!
[OOC] Sakha: She's saying only one person need to be rveived and you used a group spell
Felicia quickly downs a warrior drink, increasing her speed and strength! (PowUp/AgiUp 6)
[OOC] Riia: But Full Revive would be better than Rebirth, under the circumstances - or does Rebirth also do a Life 3 effect?
[OOC] Eric Lionheart: Bah.
[OOC] WC GM: Cassandra!
[OOC] Felicia: whooo two quicks
Cassandra Lionheart delay attacks UltimowB ((goes off on 22 ))
[OOC] Felicia: WC what are you doing
[OOC] Eric Lionheart: Falter in paying attention two seconds and everyone is mad.
[OOC] WC GM: ?
[OOC] ORN: so for the quicks… … we could use some aura and haste, anything else that needs to be up?
[OOC] Riia: Eh, only mad person is Felicia, and that's because WC skipped one of her actions
[OOC] Felicia: Word
She then flourishes her blade in front of her, before pointing it to the sky. Twinkling sparks of energy swirl around her, as the blade and air turn black as night, a starry landscape far above. With a tremendous leap, a flurry of stars cascading down along its edge.
[OOC] WC GM: What?
[OOC] Felicia: Dude you gave me these Pendulums
[OOC] Riia: Quick/Timestop
[OOC] WC GM: Ah. Quick wasn't marked, so I thought it was normal action.
[OOC] Felicia: burr
Felicia 's blade connects with UltimowB, with a flash of light and explosions, and the heat of a newly created star!
Felicia rolled 1d100 and got 48 for a total of 48
[OOC] ORN: then let's break this!
Felicia rolled 5d10+822,225% and got 9, 1, 3, 4, 8 for a total of 1905.75
Felicia: "Hoshi no Tachi!"
That seemed to be more effective than usual…
[OOC] WC GM: Sakha!
Sakha steps forward, her eyes shadowed. "Do you have ANY idea…?" she titters sounding a little crazy. Massive amounts of energy start to coalesce around her as she laughs. Suddenly, she stops laughing and sweeps a gaze colder than ice against her foes. "~Absolute Zero~" The magic explodes, leaving frost on everything.
[OOC] Felicia: Oh man, I forgot quick lets you ignore charge time on actions
Sakha rolled 5d12+1383,200% and got 10, 11, 4, 4, 1 for a total of 2826.0
[OOC] Sakha: Melting BDL
[OOC] Sakha: Berserk SWEETNESS
Again effective - but somehow, not quite as effective as Felicia's…?
[OOC] WC GM: Pak!
[OOC] Felicia: I has a sword :I
[OOC] Sakha: How the heck can that be? IT IGNORES ARM/MARM
[OOC] WC GM: But Felicia's ignores Protect.
[OOC] WC GM: And Shell, if it hit MARM.
[OOC] Eric Lionheart: Thanks for the hint that we gotta use Dispel.
[OOC] Pak: Wait, did Cassie get her turn?
[OOC] ORN: the word of the day is "dispel". probably every round.
[OOC] Pak: >_>
[OOC] Cassandra Lionheart: not yet
[OOC] Felicia: Actually, flare doesn't
[OOC] WC GM: Cassandra's not yet finished. And ORN has yet to go.
[OOC] Felicia: Meltdown and Ultima do
[OOC] Felicia: But yeah thanks for the tip 8D
Pak waits until 2, just in case.
[OOC] WC GM: Also - this is just a hint from, y'know, the last time you fought Mows? :P
[OOC] Riia: Oh, right
[OOC] WC GM: Or, heck, check the Mow sheets I posted. >_>
[OOC] Riia: I remember that now
[OOC] WC GM: Cassandra then ORN!
Riia looks over her database of prior foes…
Cassandra Lionheart delay attacks B..now!
Cassandra Lionheart rolled 5d12+594 and got 10, 2, 9, 9, 4 for a total of 628
[OOC] ORN: Is Pak delaying to 2 in the turn to use it?
B is delayed just long enough to disrupt its rhythym. (Init -> 0.5 -> 0 -> no EI)
[OOC] WC GM: ORN!
[OOC] Pak: yes
[OOC] ORN: Excellent. In that case… What's missing from us, protect or shell? I can do one.
[OOC] ORN: Ah screw it. I'll open the hostilities.
ORN loads something very special and fires at MOW B!
[OOC] ORN: Purifing salt!
[OOC] WC GM: Roll it
ORN rolled 1d100 and got 9 for a total of 9
[OOC] WC GM: …very hit.
[OOC] ORN: Dispel!
[OOC] WC GM: Pak!
Pak uryaaaaaaah~!
Pak apparently was delaying because- as pointed out- they were in space. Space means he can see the dead bodies of the slain aeons on the surface- or some bits floating up into the void. "Even if we kill this guy, he still destroyed so much! >_<"
Pak: "Even if you're the universe, I can't let their lives be extinguished without retribution~!"
Pak suddenly glows all over with strange light. He roars in a way that is normally only heard during his Pakzilla phases. "GAOOOOOO~!!!"
Pak 's tail /splits down the center/! It becomes two equally sized tails!
Pak: "If it means giving up my mortality to avenge the Aeons, that's fine!"
Pak: "Now, let's show them the power of the slain worlds!"
Cassandra Lionheart looks at Pak with a worried look on her face.
Pak gains a great aura that covers the Party! Everyone is now Quickened, given the Reraise Status, Power up (6), and Magic up (6)!
ORN sparkles and nods, pak's learned a lot!
Pak: "Seed of Aeon~!"
Hector: "Ooh, that's nice."
Trombe's center splits open!
Riia raises one eyebrow, slowly.
Trombe: "Override program activated!"
Felicia blinks.
A holograph Fyl pops up.
ORN: "Well well…"
Fyl: "I hope you never see this, but if you do, Pak just did something suicidal. I will NOT allow that!"
Fyl: "Take these! And please, bring him back to me alive!"
Gear is ejected out from Trombe every which way - practically equipping itself.
Riia's rifle seems more lethal. (Death Penalty)
ORN seems shinier all around. (Kaiser Helm + Marvel Shoes)
Hector finally gets some decent protection…for certain values of decent. (Aegis Ring + Dragon Mail)
Felicia seems stronger. (Muscle Belt)
Eric seems stronger in the magical sense. (Robe of Lords)
Pak *_*; "H-how is this suicidal?! I'm just tapping into the power of the Aeons buried deep inside me! ._."
[OOC] Hector: …can we get a few minutes before round 2 to recalc everything?
Pak somehow looks sheepish, even in his furious Aeonic rage.
Eric Lionheart: "So why wasn't we given this stuff before?"
Ahiru gets a new vest. (Braver Vest)
Sakha's gear materializes on her in sparkles that never seem to quite stop. (Hermes Bag + Focused Wrist)
ORN gives a quick swing of his battle arm, visibly much faster
And Pak…doesn't seem to change that much. (Hot Armlet + Iron Duke)
ORN fires off a single energy shot in the sky and nods
[OOC] WC GM: Sure, but note that you've got Group Quick right now.
[OOC] Pak: The Iron Duke is pretty powerful! ._.
Trombe: "Apologies. Program was pre-set. Gear acquired from multiple sources."
Trombe: "Example: Santa and Mignons made Hector's gear."
Pak 's two tails swish. "…Well, this new stuff is pretty nice. Hmph."
Pak: "Who made this weird item, though?"
Trombe: "Trombe unit looked for excuse to invoke program. Assuming no complaints about success of unlocking upgrades."
Pak holds up the iron duke.
Felicia: "No… no idea."
Pak: "Fiiine."
ORN: "And these?"
Trombe: "Fyl and company. Object design intent to keep Pak at current age forever."
Pak: "…"
Eric Lionheart: "I'm curious where this robe came from. It's clearly enchanted with extremely potent magic…"
Riia shakes her head at Trombe in denial.
Pak: "Wait what."
Felicia coughs.
Pak somehow feels… even more energetic and youthful than he already is.
Felicia: "There's still the matter of these two Mows."
Pak: "…O-oh well! Anyway, right, l-let's get to it!"
[OOC] Hector: I am now the ULTIMATE in elemental resistance!
Cassandra Lionheart: "Kill them!"
Riia raises an eyebrow at the group and gestures vigorously at the Mows, which seem to be waiting impatiently.
Felicia: "And I suppose it's time to show them exactly what theyre up against."
[OOC] Felicia: Wodan channelin time
Cassandra Lionheart: "It is."
[OOC] Riia: Someone leading off with Scan, giving WC some slack?
[OOC] Hector: So, Quick is just…one more free turn?
[OOC] Riia: Or, not slack, rewarding him for his design work
[OOC] ORN: Stern Regisseur time I'd say. It had better music
[OOC] Felicia: Two actions
[OOC] Felicia: No CT
[OOC] ORN: Hector: everyone gets two actions. IGNORING any charge time, its instant.
[OOC] Sakha: no 2 immediat actions RIGHT NOW
Eric Lionheart launches a Scan at UltiMowA as his first action under this powerful aura!
[OOC] Hector: Anyone still injured?
[OOC] ORN: then your turn immediately ends. so people, let's get the auras, protections and all that started, and shatter their star
[OOC] Riia: I'm at 1/2
Ahiru casts Nature's Barrier ((Protect Shell everyone))
[OOC] Cassandra Lionheart: I am hurting
[OOC] ORN: just out of SOS but on regen and about to 'jump'
Sakha casts Hastega and Meltdown
Eric Lionheart then launches a even stronger then usual group Curaga to deal with any nice woulds.
Level 90 End Boss Beast. 6159/9720 HP, 0/0 MP. I: All negative statuses. The ultimate in mows - just like the grey ones, but bigger.
[OOC] Sakha: On B
[OOC] Hector: 9720? That's a little low. The Gravlings had triple that.
Eric Lionheart rolled 5d8+540,150% and got 5, 6, 2, 4, 2 for a total of 838.5
[OOC] Sakha: These guys have Protect

[OOC] Riia: My actions are gonna be Vortex Shield, then Manablaster
Sheathing her blade, Felicia stares down the two giant mows, preparing to unleash her ultimate technique. "I am Felicia…" Once again energy swirls around her, as the air turns black as night, a starry landscape forming above. "Felicia Aubrey…"
[OOC] Riia: BOTH ice
With a roaring effort, her left arm tears through the bonds that held it, gripping firmly to the hilt of her blade. The sheath shatters into twinkling lights that scatter into the sky as she draws the weapon, the blade glowing a brilliant white, seemingly extending over her shoulder far into the horizon. "Sword of Refuge!"
Rushing forward, she swings around with all her might, calling down the stars of the very heavens to her aid; "Those who threaten my world… will perish!" The blade sweeps across the battlefield as the sky flashes, carving a path of glittering stardust through all who stand before her. "Hoshi no Tachi: Stardust Cascade!"
Felicia rolled 2d100 and got 73, 11 for a total of 84
[OOC] Felicia: Can't botch, can't crit

The mows are starting to look weak…
ORN: "… The signal… And their doom."
Ahiru uses Flurry as her second move on Mow B
ORN fires a barrage of pure white beams at Mow B, quickly followed by raising his arm and extending a powerful energy field around himself, as well as the party's rear!

[OOC] ORN: And first 20 CT action of dragon-horn is done; will be out of harm's way after the quicktime event ends.
[OOC] Riia: Surge, Surge, Attack:
Riia rolled 1d100 and got 25 ( Total: 25 ) **
[OOC] Riia: Surge…damnit; aborting Manablaster to Holy Water
Riia opens a pouch of weaponized - err, harmless powder. The power infects the party with - err, that is, *grants* the party immunity to instant death and, as a harmless side-effect, raises their spirits! Unfortunately, once again the stuff infects Riia's inventions and chokes them up - she is forced to spend the rest of her time washing it off with a Holy Water.
[OOC] Riia: …..only, in retrospect, that's the wrong one. I said I was doing Vortex Shield.
[OOC] Riia: So ignore that flavortext! A:Ice(6), with sparks dancing over Riia's equipment until she drowns it out with the Holy Water.
Cassandra Lionheart looks at Mow A and smiles doing 2 Double Cuts at it!

Cassandra Lionheart: "DIE!"
The mow dies.
Cassandra Lionheart: "Just like mowing the lawn…I still got it!"
[OOC] WC GM: http:/‘`/www.wingedcat.org/rps/``victory.mid
Eric Lionheart: "Well, looks like we saved our world. Wasn’t even hard at all."
Riia frowns.
Cassandra Lionheart looks at Eric and shakes her head.
Cassandra Lionheart: "Eric..Don't say that, please. That is inviting trouble."
Hector: "…there has to be more."
Riia nods, watching very, very, very, very carefully for additional foes.
Eric Lionheart: "If there's trouble to be had, it doesn't need to be invited in the first place, so I doubt I made things any worse."
ORN: "… There's more. But where is it… show yourself, "universe"… if space also wishes its turn…"
Pak: ">.>"
Pak: "…Um…"
Eric Lionheart: "Ahiru, is Grav rested enough? Perhaps he could be useful in telling us if it's over or not."
Pak: "Eric, might wanna heal any damage left, just in case."
Pak swishes his twin tails, almost using them like a dowsing rod to look for anything left.
ORN keeps his arm up, the shielding active, waiting
Riia fires a Manablaster set to Ice before the Vortex Shield wears off, just to make sure everyone is at full
[OOC] Riia: Want me to roll it?
[OOC] WC GM: Nah - minimum "damage" would be full heal, though I think Eric already full-healed.
[OOC] Riia: He may have, I got lost in that Group Quick
[OOC] ORN: ORN was a bit short of full but would be full soon as status phase ended anyways.
A vast blackness and silence greet the group.
Ahiru summons Grav. "What do you say? Is everything alright now?"
Pak: "…Nya?"
Grav appears, and seems to take a moment to survey the situation. "…this threat has been defeated. But."
ORN: "… yes… 'but' where is it."
Grav: "Before it died, it found a receptive host."
Eric Lionheart drinks a X-Ether to get back up to full magical power.
Pak: "?!"
Ahiru: "…where?"
Grav: "…on the planet. Somewhere, there is an avatar of pure hate."
Pak: "!"
Eric Lionheart: "…Could it be?"
Cassandra Lionheart shutters "No way."
Pak: "…"
Grav: "I'm sorry, mama, I can not tell where."
Pak: "…Aw man seriously"
ORN: "… … It must be"
Pak: "._."
Eric Lionheart looks at Cassandra. "There's one person I know that fits that description…"
Cassandra Lionheart: "Grav..It would not be a Lionheart would it?"
ORN nods at Eric
ORN tries feeling his selves back at the moon, perhaps they're in range
Ahiru: "Is that avatar related to any being in my group?
Grav: "I don't know, mama."
Cassandra Lionheart: "So, I guess I have to kill..her."
Ahiru summons Plu and Min.
Plu and Min appear, floating around each other, hands grasped as if each one is doing a handstand on the other. "Hii, mama~!" they chorus.
Pak: "Well…"
Ahiru: "Hello,Grav told me that there's an Avatar of Hate… can you identify anything about it?"
Plu: "An avatar of hate?"
Min: "Mmm - yes, I can sense it."
Plu: "Oh yeah. It's on the planet."
Min: "Refuge City? That's mama's name for it, I think."
ORN: "Trombe… Return. These two entities can pinpoint its location"
Pak: "Anyway, let's go talk to the bunny girls. Hopefully they've found a way to get themselves down to earth!"
Plu: "Yeah! Can't pinpoint it further from here."
Cassandra Lionheart: "MOM!"
[OOC] Pak: oh boy gonna kill Cassie's mom
Min: "But whoever it was, had a lot of rage before now."
[OOC] Pak: Wait, we can't have Ahiru eat that, though
[OOC] Pak: What do we do with her? >_>;
[OOC] ORN: aw come on now we knew it was a long time coming. we've killed every kind of familymember now in some way or another!
[OOC] Hector: I'm not going to say anything. :E
Cassandra Lionheart: "Min..I am sorry, it is my mom."
[OOC] Hector: Eric's mom is still alive.
[OOC] ORN: … … ORN's got an idea on what to do with that…..
Plu: "Well, she was just about dead anyway."
Pak: "Was she?"
[OOC] Hector: And she's the "hot shonen mom" archetype, too.
Min: "I guess you'll just give her rest."
[OOC] Eric Lionheart: At least my mom isn't a insane possibly Hate Avatar. »;
Cassandra Lionheart looks down.
[OOC] Hector: I mean, I imagine she's one of those women who's still a looker in their early 40's, not unlike Ms. Kashiwagi.
ORN: "Not entirely advisable. Just in case death would… ascend it to a similar state to these ones"
ORN points at the spirit chibis
Riia shrugs
Eric Lionheart: "That might be a improvement, considering the results…"
ORN: "Perhaps… But perhaps a physical death should be combined also with precautionary imprisonment and exile…"
Cassandra Lionheart: "Lets get this over with."
Plu: "Or you could leave it alone. It's trapped."
Cassandra Lionheart looks VERY focused now.
ORN: "Trapped?"
Min: "Yeah, it's trapped. It won't do anything unless you approach, and no one else will."
Cassandra Lionheart: "NO! SHE MUST DIE!"
Sakha: "…"
ORN: "… What is the likelihood of sentient continuation or full spirit status past the death of the body?"
Trombe begins rocketing, slowly, around the moon. The alien compex comes into sight.
Eric Lionheart: "We must properly assess the risks…perhaps we can make sure everything is alright here on the moon first and decide before returning to Refuge."
[OOC] Riia: Huh. I thought that the final boss was Zeromus. I was wrong.
[OOC] Riia: The final boss is the JEWELER JEM.
Trombe: "Only remaining life forms detected in complex."
[OOC] Riia: Which could be a problem - he is a master of disguise. If we found him in another town we would not know him.
Trombe: "Viera have requested return to planet. Removal of Viera will allow for confirmation of cessation of life on moon."
Pak: "Okay!"
Trombe lands at the top of the complex, which grows around him just enough to secure itself.
ORN: "… Is your capacity sufficient? We may be able to add structural extensions to ensure proper transport"
ORN feels around to see if the new models are acclimating themselves to the area
Trombe answers that by thrusting, slowly pulling the complex out from the moon wholesale.
Hector: "…well, at least we've got a solution."
Pak: "Hooray~"
Cassandra Lionheart is still deep in though. "Why mom?"
Eric Lionheart: "It's only a possiblity, Cassandra."
Eric Lionheart: "We still have to discuss the risks in even considering this course of action…"
Cassandra Lionheart: "What risks? She has the power to destroy everything now!"
ORN: "AX-1 is capable of shielding and high intensity bursts of White. Its capacity in the wind form is uncertain, but likely similar to yours, Eric."
Riia shakes her head.
Riia signs: "Plu/Min said would not act without our approach. Can leave and wait…. …..stand by."
ORN: "Speed will be of the essence here, to simplify things. Preventing it from initialising any defenses should make things more palatable. Alternatively, shield-penetration should be research with haste"
Riia signs: "Will die of old age? Assume no, so will leave eventually."
Hector: "Well, we should prepare as thoroughly as possible."
ORN: "… Its possible one of these two could disrupt or nullify such defenses, given their direct elemental compatibilities"
As the group discusses, Trombe gradually, slowly, pulls the complex free…
With the added mass, it takes two entire days to return.
Eric Lionheart: "I could outline her abilities…"
ORN: "Perhaps preferable would be to negate them. Can you counter their casting in any way?"
[OOC] WC GM: BGM: http:/‘`/www.wingedcat.org/rps/``odekachocobo.mid - as the credits roll; main game complete!
Eric Lionheart: "Like me, she is skilled with White Magic…considerbly more skilled in fact. I can counter some of it, but it’s a matter of being fast enough to do so."
Pak whews.
Pak: "…So I guess we won!"
Pak: "…"
Pak looks back at his tails.
Pak: "…Wait, when did this happen?!"
Pak grabs them.
Cassandra Lionheart: "When you "hulked" out."
Felicia: "Quite."
Hector: "Twin-tails? Why am I getting some kinda vision…?"
Pak: "Eeh?! But they haven't gone back to normal!"
Cassandra Lionheart: "You hulked out a bit too much?"
Pak tries to squish his tails together, but it doesn't really do much.
ORN: "… A simple upgrade. No need to worry"
[OOC] WC GM: …which is when people worry the most? :P
[OOC] ORN: of course
ORN: "This Unit's eyes appear missing also, though three quarters of the new model appear to enjoy them immensely."
Pak: "B-but!"
[OOC] Hector: Pak is a…buttsundere?
[OOC] Hector: Hi. I'm not funny.
[OOC] Pak: no D:
Pak: "Guuu…"
Pak: "This is weird! What does this mean, anyway? >_>;"
Pak: "Does this mean I'm not a Mithra anymore?"
Cassandra Lionheart: "I don't know Pak."
ORN: "It means you have improved."
Cassandra Lionheart: "That also."
Pak: "Ahiruuu! Get out Milf and tell me what happened!"
[OOC] WC GM: Note - extra XP today for so quickly figuring out who the optional post-end-boss is.
[OOC] ORN: is it really quickly figuring it out if we'd already figured long ago? :;;;
[OOC] WC GM: Given how much y'all tend to forget - like those mow parts I had to remind you of? Yes! :P
Eric Lionheart hmms thoughtfully. "Facing her may even be impossible."
Cassandra Lionheart looks at Eric "No, we have too."
ORN: "… If there is ONE thing you should have understood by now, it is that nothing is impossible."
Ahiru brings out Milf and asks about Pak's tails
Eric Lionheart: "She is a White Mage…one that has been around a long time…and may have discovered a way to extend the usage of Shield."
Cassandra Lionheart: "She has sullied me and your family name! That is unforgivable!"
Milf hmms, flits over, and feels up Pak's tails.
Hector: "Despite that, Cassie, we should take a step back, check out the situation, and research every possible countermeasure first."
Eric Lionheart: "Without a means to break Shield…it's hopeless."
Pak !
Pak s-shiver. "A-aahh~"
Cassandra Lionheart looks at hector and Eric "You are both right."
ORN: "… This shield, is omnidirectional, correct?"
Hector: "Y'think Kupostein's any good with anti-magical technology?"
ORN: "Does it adapt dynamically?"
Hector: "Maybe he could, I dunno, design a weapon shell for Riia's gun, or something for Orn."
ORN: "Powered by white, therefore the best method of countering it, if one follows elemental opposites, would be.. love?"
Hector: "Actually, I bet if Riia, Orn, and Kupostein put their heads together, they could come up with somethin'!"
Milf: "Sensitive~. Pak has girlfriends, right? They will be taking advantage of this."
ORN: "… perhaps Ahiru's feathers ground into the base for some form of cartridge, Riia?"
Milf continues to rub herself all over Pak's tails - with the excuse of investigating.
Cassandra Lionheart looks at Eric "Well, maybe now, we should plan on marriage, no?"
Ahiru: "What was that about my feathers?"
ORN looks at Ahiru
Riia raises an eyebrow.
Pak w-wiggle~! "H-hey! ._."
ORN: "It was earlier stated that you were effectively some form of avatar or partial spirit, primarily emanating 'love', correct?"
Felicia: ">_>;"
[OOC] Hector: What, you think she's the Norse Rei and can just shoot death-feather wind by flapping really hard?
Eric Lionheart: "Hmm…perhaps we can test some theories out on how Shield works before we decide."
[OOC] ORN: more like ORN's suggesting we grind love into bullet material
Milf eventually lets go. "Nothing I can control. His genes have been altered by…*them*." Milf frowns. "Any children he has will have their seed."
Ahiru: "Who are 'them'?"
ORN: "Therefore one of two possibilities extends from this. The first is that her shielding may be shattered by sufficient force. Love, added to additional mass for further support and ballistic qualities, as factored into the velocity of impact."
Milf: "The Yetis' other victims."
Eric Lionheart: "It's somewhat understood…it projects a shield around the entire body. It is similar to a easier to break spell, Wall, in that nothing can get though. But unlike Wall…Shield blocks physical and magical assaults, flawlessly."
Pak: "._.; Eek."
Pak: "…I'll have to discuss this with Fyl, since now she'll be having alien babies. >_>;"
ORN: "… no more or less flawlessly than anything else, save that its weakness has yet to be discovered."
ORN: "Also, pak, how would your offspring be alien, if they are born to this world?"
Eric Lionheart: "There's some downsides…for one, it blocks everything…even helpful spells will not get though. And it takes a large ammount of energy to keep up even for a few seconds."
Pak: "Even if they're born into this world, if they have weird extra bits… n.n;"
Ahiru: "It's not guaranteed to pass on."
ORN: "Assume however many months AX-1 has been accumulating, perhaps ever since the birth of cassie."
Eric Lionheart: "However, she may have, based on the last encounter…discovered a way around the second problem."
ORN: "Extensive power reserves should be assumed."
ORN: "Therefore we should capitalise on the shielding's primary weaknesses."
Eric Lionheart: "Which there is none known."
Eric Lionheart: "At least that we can exploit."
ORN: "… there may. such as.. perhaps a trap."
Pak: "It seems that way!"
ORN: "… Trombe's capacity is enough, and the ORN Empire could use some organic-friendly terrain. digging is not out of the option."
Pak: "Anyway, it's still important to discuss…"
ORN: "Take the battlefield up there"
Hector: "Are you even listening to me?"
ORN points off into space
Hector: "Look, we just have to bang Orn, Kupostein, and Riia together until an answer falls out!"
Pak: "Hm."
ORN: "I will NOT perform sexual acts with a moogle!"
Pak: "I could look for an aeon that could get rid of shield."
[OOC] Riia: Whoa. Riia's not into that kinda thing. Not after what happened to Vieraland.
ORN: "… Riia may be pleased at her leisure."
Riia puts her gun between her and ORN and looks….scared.
ORN: "… Now. This shield. It blocks out air?"
ORN looks back at Riia, nods and sparkles a bit
Riia starts playing with the safety.
ORN: "Or wind?"
Cassandra Lionheart is still lost in though, looking at Eric with a smile.
ORN: "such as, say, in the event one were to empty out around the shield, as it protects her. When it is no longer maintained…"
ORN: "Pop goes the evils"
Eric Lionheart: "We could be waiting a very long time for that shield to drop."
Hector: "And then we'd all be dead."
Cassandra Lionheart nods
Eric Lionheart: "In the meantime, we're being hit with the strongest offensive spells available to a White Mage…Holy likely will be extensively used. She's likely strong enough to even break my protection spells."
ORN: "Would perhaps not have to. If we can send off whatever terrain AX-1's shield is on at the time off into… exile…"
Riia frowns.
Eric Lionheart: "Though, I do find it amusing…I was…quite punished when I was younger for learning Aero first…and yet she gets to wield offensive spells without a word."
ORN: "If one can concentrate enough force and hatred in a pinpoint assault, it may be possible to bypass it, should the energies be similar enough."
Riia draws a circle in the air, then draw lines that abruptly end at the circle. She then draws lines that move out from the circle, finally tilting her head in quesiton.
ORN: "Alternatively lies the power of love, as concentrated in ammunition or beam form."
Cassandra Lionheart: "Well, is Holy something all white mages in my family weild?"
ORN: "It has shown most effective in a most consistent way."
ORN looks at Cassie and fires off a cleansing strike
ORN: "Even the offshoot creations of their non-mages."
ORN: "And… she has used it before"
Pak looks over at the planning people.
[OOC] Riia: For those who don't remember Riia's gestures - you can't shoot into shield, but you can shoot out?
Eric Lionheart looks at Riia's drawing. //
Eric Lionheart: "Yes, she can shoot us just fine."
[OOC] ORN: way I see it, I:Mute may mean very little against "nothing to make sound to cast with, with" ;p
ORN: "Then we will whether the storm until offworld. Then we see how much energy a shield can truly take, assuming it is not successfully penetrated first."
Hector: "I think a visit to our local library is in order."
ORN: "An appropriate early test would be, say, tossing whatever chunk of land she was standing on into the sun with massive acceleration…"
Hector: "'cause whoever came up with the Shield ain't around, so there's gotta be a way to bust it down."
Cassandra Lionheart: "Yeah, we should study more into this."
[OOC] ORN: we hadn't gotten to brainstorm in so long ^^.
[OOC] WC GM: Guess what next session is, then? ;)
EC Session 8.17
