Savill Garden Battle (Open)

[Elphyr]

As soon as both of them had accepted the invitation, Elphyr checked out each’s stats. “A Dancer and a puppeteer...” The feline thought.

“Some potions would be pretty helpful right now…” Elphyr said before letting out a sigh. Argenta’s plan, in his opinion, was pretty good, if not certain factors. The three of them weren’t exactly in ideal form to have good chance of pulling it off. The werecat’s health had dropped to about a half when that boar had thrown him to the ground earlier. There weren’t any healing spells he could use at the moment and none of them would survive having all the boar’s attention directed at them.

Elphyr swore in his mind. Though he did not regret getting Lightning Fall, Hearbeat Healing would have been so useful in the current situation as well. He planned to get it once the ordeal was over, as well as another attacking skill.

“Since we’re in a party now I’m guessing we won’t be affected by whatever skill it was you used… right? If we could make use of that dancer skill again and immobilize the healthier boars with puppets I guess we could pull it off… There’s about around 16 boars left? Last I checked… It’ll be hard though.” He said, glancing around at his surroundings incase a boar appeared just as Lowen had walked over.

As he listened to what Lowen had to say, the werecat folded his arms. “ Well… We could provoke more at a time and do what Argenta suggested. It would probably end after two or three rounds…” He said with a skeptical expression. “If some did have a low HP like Argenta said then… That would probably work out. There’s less of a risk too.” Elphyr shrugged. “Group skills are a bit troublesome too… Like what Yoloswag had pulled off earlier by provoking that many... So it's fine.”

[Argenta]

Regarding to Lowen's comment about his "Scarlet Symphony" being meant for one on one battle, she would give a sigh and put a hand to his shoulder. "Lowen. Right now, any damage we could do to those thing so their numbers are reduced would be helpful right now." Elphyr soon brought up Argenta's "Pacifying Dance" skill about it not affecting them anymore. She had never really thought about it, but checked her skill screen just in case. "Yup your right Elphyr, it stops enemies from attacking the party for a while." They would need to think this through and play smart if this plan was to suceed.

As she looked back at her skill window she realized how many times she had leveled up. "Wow 5 level's already, that was fast." Upon further investigation, it seemed like she could acquire another move. "Sweet!" She pressed the Plus sign next to "Quick Draw" to gain the new attack move. "Looks like this might go faster than I expected. Let's go get em!" Argenta Would Jump into the tree's and disappear within the foliage above her. She would drop down on the opposite side of the field and wait a while for her other party member's to get ready. Her signal would be the begining of Pacifying dance but before that she decided to attack.

Locking her sights onto the closest boar to her, she gripped her scythe tightly and with blinding speed destroyed the Boar. She had activated her New Move "Quick Draw". Before the boars could notice what was happening she jumped into the air and activated, "Deadly Dance". At this moment Elicka had taken over for a bit of fun. "Going for it!" She called as the she spun the scythe in a windmill like motion while falling diagnally. Gouge marks appeared within the very earth as the second bull exploded into data. The boars had now focused on her as she jumped up to dodge the boars that started charging at her. With a very wide swipe she destroyed 3 boars in her path all with low health. The aggro was now fully directed towards her as she now switched back to Argenta. "Care to dance? Let's Boogie." She now Began "Pacifying Dance" and the charging boars stopped dead in their tracks to watch her dance. Gracefully dancing around the area, she would stall for time as her assassin skills cooled down. This would signal the others to come out of their hiding spots and attack the remaining 11 boars that she had grouped together. "Anytime would be good for you guys to come out and play." She alerted them as she continued her dance around the boars.

"I know this sound like the most sure fire plan, but I don't really want to die again," Lowen stated. It definitely sounded like a good idea to use the skill that Argenta had used before. Therefore he said after Elyphr had spoken of their plan, "Let's go with that in the worst case scenario."

While Argenta checked their gear and skills, and Elyphr stood there with his arms folded, Lowen checked his stats. He had used up to forty percent of his mana on Scarlet Symphony, and had lost up to forty percent of his health points. He was not as damaged as they others but he still feared that as a weapons based character his help would not be all that great since the boars had proven to be quite confrontational with them. This could not be helped though anymore since they were in a tight situation, already had a plan, and now as Lowen was seeing as he peeked out from their hiding place Argenta was beginning to dance. The boars had stopped in their tracks, thanks to this, and as a result could not attack due to the swaying dance moves Argenta performed. Lowen got sucked into watching Argenta's hips sashay but he breathed in deeply and ran out from behind the rock with his dagger at the ready.

He held up his harmonica and blew the tune for his Scarlet Symphony into it before rushing the nearest boar in front of the dancing girl. About two to three seconds later his wall of red swords appeared around him within a cloud of red mist. The attack had taken about twenty percent of his mana to perform so he had to make it count. He tackled the animal to the ground and while it flailed in terror, raised his knife above the animal's large snout and stabbed through its nostrils. The pig began to bleed and he stabbed it a second time to make sure it would go down. Minor damage in this fight was not going to be allowed.

He only hoped that Elyphr would come out quickly and start shooting his lightning again. It had been rather helpful in dealing with the last nine aggressors. Though if he could not Lowen felt rather comfortable with the fact the black furred were cat carried a mace. Maces were good for smashing skulls and as such would be far more effective then his blade was. Lowen did not stop with the first animal though after he killed it he rushed to a second one while his skill was in effect and slashed it across the right side. Its fur was going to bleed a lot thanks to this but he knew he could do more so while Argenta continued to dance he attacked a third by getting at it from behind and cutting off its tail. Its remaining stump began to bleed like the other two had, but it just did not seem like enough. Three seemed to be his limit though as he huffed and puffed and gave Elphyr a thumbs up in his direction.

"Go get some more of them!" Lowen cried, "After this I think I'm honestly almost done!"

[Elphyr]

Elphyr grinned when Argenta confirmed his statement about Pacifying Dance. This made things much easier. The immobilization of the remaining boars would increase chances of survival. “Good news then.” He said with a nod, now feeling slightly more assured that he wasn’t going to be sent back to the cathedral a third time that day.

Watching Argenta head out to attack the boars, Elphyr started moving among the trees, getting closer to the herd and finding a comfortable spot where the boar with the highest hit points was close. It would be a good idea to immobilize it with the puppet first, he’d thought, watching Argenta start the pacifying dance and Lowen head out, playing his harmonica.

“Act One, Exposition.” He whispered. His right hand, gripping the control bar, moved quickly, sending out his puppet to cling on his target and restrain it from movement. The Boar snorted in surprise at the sudden appearance of a wooden figure. With the puppet clinging on, it began to thrash around on the spot, hoping to throw it off.

“Lightning Fall.”

Next, a spark of lightning shot out from the trees. First hitting the puppet bearing boar before eventually spreading out to the remaining nine boars, taking down 3 of which HP had been close to zero. There was a sort of victory grin on Elphyr’s face as the number of boars had lessened considerably.

Seeing both skills on cool down, Elphyr finally revealed himself, smashing the head of the 1st boar with the head of his flail whilst keeping in mind both cool downs. There were 6 boars left and all of them had somewhere around half or less HP left, knowing this boosted his confidence somewhat. He took a short glance at the status menus of the others in the party.

“Lowen, think you could cast Scarlet Symphony one more time?” He asked, wondering of the cool down. The boar had finally shaken off the puppet and began to dig its front left hoof into the ground, getting ready to charge at the werecat. He barely dodged before swinging his flail around to attack its leg, finally bringing its HP to zero.

[Argenta]

Argenta's Pacifying Dance was coming to an end as the others had finished attacking. The number of boars had dropped significantly. There were 6 boars left, while her teamates and she all had around half in the health points area. As Elicka she could go all out and risk losing health, that was unless they ganged up on her. Gripping her scythe she looked closely upon her Cooldown Guage and noticed her skills had finished cooling. 'We're going to have fun with this thing.' She thought to herself as Elicka came forth and attacked out of her dance. She sliced one of the remaining boars in front of her and then launched it into the air. It was in the red zone and her next move would surely kill it.

Elicka began spinning in the air cutting the bull 4 times forcing it to explode into data. Locking her sights onto another boar she rotated the scythe in front of her and used the angular momentem of her fall to charge at the bull. "Going for it!" She cried as she cut the bull into oblivion. On the ground she used the full power of her legs to flip and cut the ground around her. The gashes on the ground showed cuts of various lengths and widths as her deadly dance of death had begun. Jumping out of it, nothing but flying dirt and data remained of the two of boars.

"Lowen I think You've got the last one." She said putting the scythe behind her. She had done enough work so far, and her health was getting pretty low. SHe would have to play it safe for now.

(sorry it took so long, I had to do college Apps.)

Lowen told Elyphr as the cat took down a beast with his mace, "Yes, I think I could get that last one, but I need a moment." He told his friends as he pulled out his harmonica and played the Scarlett Symphony as requested. When ready and the red, phantom-like swords floated around him he charged the remaining boar, jumped high into the air, and slammed the edge of his knife into its back while he gripped its hilt and hung on for dear life.

The boar swayed left and right trying to send him flying, but his fingers were strong and he would not budge. So he took a moment of pleasure in his killing and smirked as the animal's health drained to zero. It rolled over onto its right flank and Lowen rolled with it landing on his feetin a crouched position. Behind him the animal exploded into bits and he stood up and said, "I think that's the last of them Elphyr and Argenta. I think we should probably leave."

At this point, all were likely worn out. Lowen sure was thanks to having no MP now and only forty percent of his health. He looked around until he spotted the forest trail and dashed over to it. If they followed this he was pretty sure he could get back to the city.

[Elphyr]

Seeing that Lowen had jumped on to the boar, Elphyr contemplated his next move. Since both his skills were still under cool down, he couldn’t very well think of a way to help other than mindlessly chasing the last boar with his flail. He switches status views to check on the boars HP before letting out a sigh of relief when he noticed the boars HP drop down to a zero.

He’d gain a reasonable amount of HP from this experience, to his glee. He had a big grin on his face when the boar had burst into experience points and money. He picked up the loot. “So, how shall we split this?” He asked, though its discussion would probably have to wait till they reached a safe place in the city. He hoped they wouldn’t run into the “PK”ers he’s been hearing so much about. Their HP and MP were pretty low enough to not survive another horde of monsters. Heaven, if there was even one there, forbid they’d run into some aggressive ones.

As he followed Lowen to the forest trail, he opened up his status menu, checking on the skills that were available. Since the threat had disappeared, he’d be able to read through them properly instead. He would probably get a healing skill, although he wasn’t sure if he should go for a party of singular effect one. While the singular effect one would save some MP, the one that affected the whole party would be good for reaching multiple people at the same time.

(OOC: Its totally cool, I've been pretty busy starting uni and all as well.)
