  23. [18 dic 16 10:04] * Kira * Hi

  25. [18 dic 16 10:05] * HaniwaShogun * oh nice
  26. [18 dic 16 10:05] * HaniwaShogun * just give me a few mins to finish up with this
  27. [18 dic 16 10:05] * Kira * sure thing
  28. [18 dic 16 10:18] * HaniwaShogun * ok I'm pretty much ready
  29. [18 dic 16 10:19] * Kira * nice
  30. [18 dic 16 10:19] * rhs * ^
  31. [18 dic 16 10:20] * HaniwaShogun * Hmmm
  32. [18 dic 16 10:21] * HaniwaShogun * where did we leave last time
  33. [18 dic 16 10:21] * Kira * We're back in the town with the new girl
  34. [18 dic 16 10:22] * HaniwaShogun * Ah I remember now
  35. [18 dic 16 10:22] * HaniwaShogun * (not really I read the logs)
  36. [18 dic 16 10:23] * HaniwaShogun * well
  37. [18 dic 16 10:23] * HaniwaShogun * You guys were heading out, but you ended up running into this girl
  38. [18 dic 16 10:23] * HaniwaShogun * now the question is
  39. [18 dic 16 10:23] * HaniwaShogun * what to do
  40. [18 dic 16 10:24] * HaniwaShogun * you could leave her at the inn with cash to get by
  41. [18 dic 16 10:24] * HaniwaShogun * or you could take her along to the ruins
  42. [18 dic 16 10:24] * Kira * Well I don't think taking her into a dungeon is a great idea
  43. [18 dic 16 10:24] * HaniwaShogun * if you leave her here you could always ask beerwald to keep an eye on her
  44. [18 dic 16 10:24] * HaniwaShogun * maybe she can even help gina
  45. [18 dic 16 10:24] * Tomato * I thought we were settled into having her as the team cook last session.
  46. [18 dic 16 10:24] * HaniwaShogun * you could also do that
  47. [18 dic 16 10:24] * rhs * Team cook would be a long term goal
  48. [18 dic 16 10:25] * rhs * but at this point it would be wise to keep her with beerwald
  49. [18 dic 16 10:25] * Tomato * But it does sound stupidly dangerous to bring her to a dungeon right now.
  50. [18 dic 16 10:25] * HaniwaShogun * I didn't give you guys much input last thread
  51. [18 dic 16 10:25] * HaniwaShogun * so I thought I would fix that
  52. [18 dic 16 10:25] * Kira * Let her rest up in the inn?
  53. [18 dic 16 10:25] * rhs * she needs a chance to rest
  54. [18 dic 16 10:25] * rhs * and recover
  55. [18 dic 16 10:25] * rhs * and we didn't prepare for an extra party member anyway
  56. [18 dic 16 10:26] * HaniwaShogun * ok
  57. [18 dic 16 10:27] * HaniwaShogun * last check before we go dungeoneering
  58. [18 dic 16 10:27] * HaniwaShogun * do you guys remember everything you have on hand?
  59. [18 dic 16 10:28] * Kira * umm
  60. [18 dic 16 10:28] * HaniwaShogun * don bought a new sword, kira got armor, racket has an anti-projectile helm
  61. [18 dic 16 10:28] * HaniwaShogun * and uuuh
  62. [18 dic 16 10:28] * HaniwaShogun * right, potions
  63. [18 dic 16 10:28] * Kira * 30 hp pots and 4 mana pots as well?
  64. [18 dic 16 10:28] * rhs * yeah
  65. [18 dic 16 10:28] # The topic is 'HP/MP/Status - Kira 100%/100%/Normal - Don 100%/100%/Normal - Racket 100%/---/Normal - Gold: 2474 | 30H : 4M' (set by HaniwaShogun)
  66. [18 dic 16 10:29] * HaniwaShogun * also I probably will not narrate every fight you guys run into in the dungeon
  67. [18 dic 16 10:29] * HaniwaShogun * so HP pots might wink out between scenes
  68. [18 dic 16 10:29] * Kira * sure
  69. [18 dic 16 10:29] * rhs * yeah
  70. [18 dic 16 10:29] * HaniwaShogun * also tales of berseria looks interesting
  71. [18 dic 16 10:30] * Kira * Yeah that got my interest when I saw it
  72. [18 dic 16 10:30] * HaniwaShogun * I don't like how the female protagonist looks like a Milla clone though
  73. [18 dic 16 10:30] * HaniwaShogun * she looks samey
  74. [18 dic 16 10:31] * HaniwaShogun * Ok uh
  75. [18 dic 16 10:31] * HaniwaShogun * So you're letting her rest at the inn
  76. [18 dic 16 10:31] * Kira * yep
  77. [18 dic 16 10:31] * HaniwaShogun * you guys might be gone for awhile
  78. [18 dic 16 10:31] * HaniwaShogun * sure you dont want to hook her up with gina
  79. [18 dic 16 10:31] * HaniwaShogun * ?
  80. [18 dic 16 10:32] * Kira * oh that's a point
  81. [18 dic 16 10:32] * Kira * Would I be able to make a contract with a level god? since we're going on expeditions
  82. [18 dic 16 10:32] * Kira * I meant to ask last time but forgot
  83. [18 dic 16 10:32] * rhs * I'd assume you already have one
  84. [18 dic 16 10:33] * rhs * given you have extensive fighting experience and interest
  85. [18 dic 16 10:33] * HaniwaShogun * I don't exactly know how it works, to be honest
  86. [18 dic 16 10:33] * rhs * even Maria has one in IV
  87. [18 dic 16 10:33] * HaniwaShogun * well last time everyone went to a level shop
  88. [18 dic 16 10:33] * HaniwaShogun * But I could retcon if you guys want
  89. [18 dic 16 10:33] * Tomato * It wasn't a contracted one, wasn't it?
  90. [18 dic 16 10:33] * Tomato * She just tried calling for one and it popped up.
  91. [18 dic 16 10:34] * rhs * well in that case we could do that
  92. [18 dic 16 10:34] * HaniwaShogun * roland has a level god in any case
  93. [18 dic 16 10:34] * Kira * ok
  94. [18 dic 16 10:34] * Tomato * So technically, we could call for a random non-contracted one
  95. [18 dic 16 10:34] * rhs * are level shops affiliated with the AL Church?
  96. [18 dic 16 10:34] * HaniwaShogun * Maybe
  97. [18 dic 16 10:34] * HaniwaShogun * I doubt it
  98. [18 dic 16 10:34] * Kira * yes
  99. [18 dic 16 10:34] * Kira * I believe so
  100. [18 dic 16 10:34] * rhs * I suspect they are
  101. [18 dic 16 10:35] * rhs * Level Gods are low tier angels after all
  102. [18 dic 16 10:35] * Kira * " Level Shops are officially endorsed and sponsored by the AL Church."
  103. [18 dic 16 10:35] * HaniwaShogun * Ah
  104. [18 dic 16 10:35] * Tomato * Just wondering, how are level ups done in this system?
  105. [18 dic 16 10:35] * HaniwaShogun * Well I didn't see much ALsy stuff on level shops so it might be a new thing
  106. [18 dic 16 10:35] * Tomato * Is it going to be like in early Rance games where it fully heals you and stuff?
  107. [18 dic 16 10:36] * HaniwaShogun * yeah sure
  108. [18 dic 16 10:36] * HaniwaShogun * Why the question btw
  109. [18 dic 16 10:36] * HaniwaShogun * on the AL church thing
  110. [18 dic 16 10:37] * rhs * its just something that popped in my head
  111. [18 dic 16 10:37] * rhs * after thinking about whether or not Kira would have a contract
  112. [18 dic 16 10:37] * rhs * with JAPAN obviously not having much of an AL Church presence
  113. [18 dic 16 10:37] * Kira * Since AL church isn't big in JAPAN I guess
  114. [18 dic 16 10:37] * HaniwaShogun * I still have no idea how people level up in JAPAN
  115. [18 dic 16 10:37] * HaniwaShogun * with rampant tenshiism
  116. [18 dic 16 10:37] * rhs * same way I assume
  117. [18 dic 16 10:38] * HaniwaShogun * You think devils can level up people?
  118. [18 dic 16 10:38] * Tomato * Non-AL Church level up stores?
  119. [18 dic 16 10:38] * rhs * nah but Level Gods get something out of leveling people
  120. [18 dic 16 10:38] * HaniwaShogun * They probably can
  121. [18 dic 16 10:38] * rhs * so its not like they won't level you
  122. [18 dic 16 10:38] * rhs * and hell you can level up Feliss in 03
  123. [18 dic 16 10:39] * HaniwaShogun * Ok so-
  124. [18 dic 16 10:41] * HaniwaShogun * In the end, though Millia wanted to take Anya as the team cook to the expedition, the group decided that the girl was nowhere near ready to head outside of the city, and entrusted her with a small amount of money to pay for her continued stay on the inn. At the same time, they visited En Passant in order to talk with Beerwald about the subject.
  125. [18 dic 16 10:41] * HaniwaShogun * "A runaway slave, huh?" Beerwald nodded tightly. "Don't worry, I'll make sure she doesn't get into trouble. Gina could use a friend or two, in any case."
  126. [18 dic 16 10:42] * HaniwaShogun * The girl looked kind of lonely, seeing you depart, but it was hard to tell- There was some profound sadness hanging around her presence, one that was difficult to deal with.
  127. [18 dic 16 10:42] # The topic is 'HP/MP/Status - Kira 100%/100%/Normal - Don 100%/100%/Normal - Racket 100%/---/Normal - Gold: 2274 | 30H : 4M' (set by HaniwaShogun)
  128. [18 dic 16 10:43] * HaniwaShogun * And so, leaving her behind, you braved the wastes of the Monster Realm's frontier, heading towards the dungeon where your mettle would finally be tested to its limits.
  129. [18 dic 16 10:45] * HaniwaShogun * >Rolled: 37
  130. [18 dic 16 10:45] * rhs * (high is good or Dark Heresy style?)
  131. [18 dic 16 10:46] * HaniwaShogun * Your journey to the Toushin Toshi ruins was mostly uneventful, save for a minor event where your borrowed carriage was beset by a band of Octomen
  132. [18 dic 16 10:46] * HaniwaShogun * After a short fight, you emerged victorious, but the annoying octomen had lightly damaged the supplies in the carriage
  133. [18 dic 16 10:46] * HaniwaShogun * >lost 3 health potions.
  134. [18 dic 16 10:46] # The topic is 'HP/MP/Status - Kira 100%/100%/Normal - Don 100%/100%/Normal - Racket 100%/---/Normal - Gold: 2274 | 27H : 4M' (set by HaniwaShogun)
  135. [18 dic 16 10:47] * HaniwaShogun * >gained 300 EXP
  136. [18 dic 16 10:47] * Kira * (Good thing we brought plenty then)
  137. [18 dic 16 10:47] * rhs * (fucking octomen)
  138. [18 dic 16 10:49] * HaniwaShogun * It was as you approached the landmark indicated by Roland, that you noticed it. As the monochrome wasteland became littered with the shattered corpses of iron soldiers and magical machines, what at first looked like a small hill slowly approached you.
  139. [18 dic 16 10:50] * HaniwaShogun * Only once you got close enough you realized that the thing was no hill, but rather the remnants of something that once had been great beyond compare.
  140. [18 dic 16 10:52] * HaniwaShogun * The corpse of Toushin Beta was mostly intact, save for parts of its armor that had been mangled a long time ago. Despite its wounds, the thing looked like at any moment it could rise up again and fight for its overlords.
  141. [18 dic 16 10:52] * HaniwaShogun * Unlike its brothers, Toushin Beta possessed six different arms, though one of them had been torn at the forearm, leaving only a stump.
  142. [18 dic 16 10:53] * HaniwaShogun * And yet, despite its mangled state, one could not deny that even its corpse remained intimidating. A vestige of an era where even mere humans had been able to rise and fight against the Dark Lords on an equal field.
  143. [18 dic 16 10:54] * rhs * (reminder that even Fletcher could do that)
  144. [18 dic 16 10:55] * HaniwaShogun * "Don't you think it's strange?" Millia asked, peeking over the carriage. "It looks pretty beaten up, but you'd expect more out of something from the Holy Magic Sect. How did it just croak over like that?"
  145. [18 dic 16 10:55] * HaniwaShogun * (fletcher was such a monster that he got actual monsters made out of him)
  146. [18 dic 16 10:55] * Tomato * (Fletcher did better, he actually damaged the Dark Lords.)
  147. [18 dic 16 10:56] * rhs * Probably against a Dark Lord Millia
  148. [18 dic 16 10:57] * HaniwaShogun * "Yeah, but look at it. It doesn't even a wound through the chestplate. I can get that it lost, but why did it die?"
  149. [18 dic 16 10:57] * Tomato * "Those Toushins are products of mages, right? Could they also have stopped moving when Rune died?"
  150. [18 dic 16 10:59] * HaniwaShogun * "How would you explain the Holy Robot Zombies, then?" Millia countered. "Those guys are still walking around like everything's fine, and they even regenerate."
  151. [18 dic 16 10:59] * HaniwaShogun * "There's still so much about the Magic Sect we don't know... I guess coming into this dungeon might not have been a bad idea."
  152. [18 dic 16 11:00] * Tomato * "Different kind of creatures? I mean the Toushos don't walk around either. At least, none has been reported to be active."
  153. [18 dic 16 11:00] * HaniwaShogun * She continued to look at the corpse, curiosity gleaming in her face.
  154. [18 dic 16 11:00] * HaniwaShogun * ---
  155. [18 dic 16 11:01] * rhs * The Toushos were men once from what I heard
  156. [18 dic 16 11:01] * HaniwaShogun * Minutes passed, and you left the corpse of Toushin Beta behind, trailing the wasteland full of shattered machines in the direction where Roland had indicated.
  157. [18 dic 16 11:01] * HaniwaShogun * (you can keep chatting)
  158. [18 dic 16 11:02] * HaniwaShogun * You expected that there would already be people present in order to take on the dungeon... But the sight of what you found once you arrived at the massive hill that were the ruins of the floating city surprised you for a moment.
  159. [18 dic 16 11:03] * Tomato * "Could the Toushins be the same then? Ah, but one of them was a dragon, wasn't it? Never mind then."
  160. [18 dic 16 11:03] * HaniwaShogun * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sq1QKitKyl4
  161. [18 dic 16 11:03] * HaniwaShogun * The entire thing looked like a war camp.
  162. [18 dic 16 11:04] * HaniwaShogun * Tents were set up around the broken tower that led to the mysterious city's depths, many adventurers sitting around and drinking or eating while they waited patiently.
  163. [18 dic 16 11:05] * HaniwaShogun * In particular, one large tent stuck out, simply because one of Roland's party members was outside. Denver's eyes looked towards you as you entered the camp, and almost lazily he waved you over.
  164. [18 dic 16 11:05] * HaniwaShogun * What was all this about?
  165. [18 dic 16 11:06] * HaniwaShogun * "Ah, it's you guys." Roland looked up from his seat as he saw you enter, smiling widely. "Dropped the girl off, I see? You're right on time. I guess you won't have to miss out on these spoils after all."
  166. [18 dic 16 11:07] * HaniwaShogun * "Guess we'll soon see if you guys weren't all talk when you said you could take on a Monster Captain." Denver grunted.
  167. [18 dic 16 11:07] * HaniwaShogun * (Roland is waiting for you guys to speak)
  168. [18 dic 16 11:08] * rhs * Don't worry. We;ll protect you
  169. [18 dic 16 11:08] * Kira * "You'll get a chance to see just how capable we are soon enough"
  170. [18 dic 16 11:09] * HaniwaShogun * Roland laughed. "That's what I like to hear! Well, it's not really protection I need right now, but people good at some pest control."
  171. [18 dic 16 11:09] * HaniwaShogun * He proceeded to explain.
  172. [18 dic 16 11:10] * HaniwaShogun * "So I'd decided to refrain on entering the ruins out of common sense when I first found this place, and when a few more adventurers appeared we sent in a scout to look what kind of shit would be awaiting us at the entrance, to make sure we didn't run into an ambush.
  173. [18 dic 16 11:11] * Kira * "What did they find?"
  174. [18 dic 16 11:11] * HaniwaShogun * Roland tapped on a makeshift table he'd fashioned out of logs and metal from the surrounding debris. "Unfortunately, my suspicions were right. It looks like despite having been sealed, some monsters managed to dig their way through into the place, and now the entrance is infested with monster nests."
  175. [18 dic 16 11:13] * HaniwaShogun * "This means that before we can get any exploration done, we're going to need to clear them all up so we can get a good base to rest when the night is coming, because no way we're going to the city between expeditions. It'd take too long."
  176. [18 dic 16 11:14] * HaniwaShogun * Roland's grin widened. "I'm no soldier, but I say we have plenty of strong enough people around to do that. It might get a little dangerous, but you're adventurers aren't you? Small or big, if you get scared from a battle then why are you even here?"
  177. [18 dic 16 11:15] * HaniwaShogun * (thoughts?)
  178. [18 dic 16 11:15] * Kira * "Sign me up. I've been itching for a fight since we got back from the captain"
  179. [18 dic 16 11:16] * Tomato * "Sure, we'll help in clearing the ruins. The faster we do it, the faster we can do some actual exploring."
  180. [18 dic 16 11:17] * rhs * "Nice easy way to warm up"
  181. [18 dic 16 11:18] * HaniwaShogun * "That's what I'd like to hear. Which is why I'd like you guys to come with me, right on the frontlines." Roland clapped. "We'll be right in the thick of it, but we'll also get first pick for any loot the monsters kept. Sounds like a good trade doesn't it?"
  182. [18 dic 16 11:19] * HaniwaShogun * "Don't you dare drag us down." Mia sneered. "If you're a bunch of posers, you should just chicken out here while you have the chance."
  183. [18 dic 16 11:19] * HaniwaShogun * Roland rolled his eyes.
  184. [18 dic 16 11:21] * HaniwaShogun * (well I see you guys have nothing to say, so I'll move on)
  185. [18 dic 16 11:21] * HaniwaShogun * ---
  186. [18 dic 16 11:22] * HaniwaShogun * http://listenonrepeat.com/watch/?v=qseS25JsYRU
  187. [18 dic 16 11:22] * Kira * (Back, sorry was sorting out some food)
  188. [18 dic 16 11:23] * Kira * "Speak for yourself lady, you don't look too capable"
  189. [18 dic 16 11:23] * HaniwaShogun * "Alright, listen up you bastards!" Roland's voice echoed throughout the mass of adventurers, his party in full regalia and poised over the entrance of the ruins in preparation for the battle.
  190. [18 dic 16 11:24] * HaniwaShogun * (also the bgm cuts off weirdly, hold on)
  191. [18 dic 16 11:25] * HaniwaShogun * (we'll use this instead: http://listenonrepeat.com/watch/?v=zQW90rvQMyE )
  192. [18 dic 16 11:26] * HaniwaShogun * "If you guys hold any value in keeping your lives, you can stay right here! I can't guarantee that you lot will come out alive if you come with me down those doors and venture into the depths of hell!"
  193. [18 dic 16 11:28] * HaniwaShogun * "However!" He glared at all of them. "If you yearn for battle! If you wish for glory, for fame and fortune! If you have any pride as a warrior, then I'm telling you to get fucking ready! Because once we storm these gates and enter these ruins, those swords of yours will cut free a sea of blood, and from that sea you'll finally be a step closer to getting everything you've ever yearned for!"
  194. [18 dic 16 11:28] * HaniwaShogun * "What say you, men!? Are you cowards... Or are you adventurers!?" Grabbing his massive sword, Roland hoisted it into the air with only one hand.
  195. [18 dic 16 11:29] * HaniwaShogun * "YEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
  196. [18 dic 16 11:29] * HaniwaShogun * "BRING IT ON!"
  197. [18 dic 16 11:29] * HaniwaShogun * "WE'LL CRUSH THOSE MONSTERS GOOD!"
  198. [18 dic 16 11:29] * HaniwaShogun * "YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE!"
  199. [18 dic 16 11:30] * HaniwaShogun * "Those are good words!" Roland cheered, and as he turned towards the door of the ruins, he sheathed his sword and sneered at them. "Don't you dare regret them."
  200. [18 dic 16 11:31] * HaniwaShogun * Millia shook her head, looking disgusted. "Savages..." She smiled at you nonetheless. "Take care, alright? I'll be stepping out here, but I don't want you dying on me."
  201. [18 dic 16 11:31] * Tomato * "Of course not, you have a house to build, don't you?"
  202. [18 dic 16 11:32] * Kira * "I don't think there's a chance of that happening. Stay safe"
  203. [18 dic 16 11:32] * rhs * No monster can match my sword
  204. [18 dic 16 11:33] * HaniwaShogun * ---
  205. [18 dic 16 11:34] * HaniwaShogun * The army of adventurers gathered. With swift work from the expedition's rogues, the doors were opened and the expedition al force made its descent down the tower's massive elevator.
  206. [18 dic 16 11:35] * HaniwaShogun * "This will be the last breather we'll get." Roland said, as the floor under your feet began to descend. "If you've got any priests that want to cast their blessings, now is the time to do it!"
  207. [18 dic 16 11:35] * HaniwaShogun * As he spoke, Mia appeared to become alert and started to chant. "Iron Wall!"
  208. [18 dic 16 11:36] * HaniwaShogun * Space shuffled as what looked like a powerful barrier appeared overlayed around the party of three. Across the first wave of the adventurers, similar effects happened.
  209. [18 dic 16 11:36] * HaniwaShogun * (do anything?)
  210. [18 dic 16 11:36] * Kira * (I haven't got anything to do here as far as I know)
  211. [18 dic 16 11:37] * HaniwaShogun * (im mostly asking cuz don)
  212. [18 dic 16 11:37] * Kira * (yeah I thought so)

  215. [18 dic 16 11:40] * HaniwaShogun * As the entire party suddenly feels stronger and lighter on their feet, the elevator doors soon stop. Outside, people can already hear the sounds of living beings not themselves moving around.
  216. [18 dic 16 11:41] * HaniwaShogun * -At that moment, it happens.
  217. [18 dic 16 11:42] * HaniwaShogun * (hold on looking for bgm)
  218. [18 dic 16 11:43] * HaniwaShogun * The doors to the Toushin Toshi ruins opened, and as they did a hundred inhuman eyes turned all at once, wide monster eyes looking in surprise at the mass of intruding humans.
  219. [18 dic 16 11:43] * HaniwaShogun * The next moment-
  220. [18 dic 16 11:43] * HaniwaShogun * "CHARGE!"
  221. [18 dic 16 11:43] * HaniwaShogun * -Chaos broke out.

  224. [18 dic 16 11:45] * HaniwaShogun * The first wave of adventurers dashed straight towards the surprised monsters, weapons brandished and their eyes widened with savage bloodlust.
  225. [18 dic 16 11:47] * HaniwaShogun * Archers lifted their bows from behind, letting loose a volley of descending steel that impaled the many creatures. Some, like the weak yankees, magemen and helpless kyan kyans died instantly from those blows, while others proved hardy enough to shrug off the long-distance fire.
  226. [18 dic 16 11:47] # The topic is 'HP/MP/Status - Kira 100%/100%/Normal - Don 100%/97%/Normal - Racket 100%/---/Normal - Gold: 2274 | 27H : 4M | Adventurer Army: 432/432 | Monster Army: 898/938' (set by HaniwaShogun)
  227. [18 dic 16 11:48] * HaniwaShogun * Those same monsters roared in anger at the sight of their dead kin, and taking up what arms they could threw themselves at the coming army of adventurers, the frontline erupting with the sounds of crashing blades.
  228. [18 dic 16 11:50] * HaniwaShogun * "HOOMANS!" -A thunderous smash caused the earth to tremble near you, and both your party and Roland's turned to look as from a tunnel to the depths of the ruins emerged four towering monsters, with faces that only a mother could love. Wielding massive clubs with a body of rippling muscles, the Dekants would likely spell trouble for the adventurers if they managed to flank the army.
  229. [18 dic 16 11:50] * HaniwaShogun * "We're getting rid of those bastards, come on!" Roland grabbed his sword and charged at the formation alongside Denver, motioning for you to follow.
  230. [18 dic 16 11:50] * HaniwaShogun * (you can act now)
  231. [18 dic 16 11:51] * Kira * Follow Roland to the Dekants
  232. [18 dic 16 11:51] * HaniwaShogun * (how will you attack them)
  233. [18 dic 16 11:51] * rhs * Go for one of the Dekants. Yell "COSSACK atlantic laser DANCE" and attack it
  234. [18 dic 16 11:52] * Kira * Might as well start off with a blood-soaked dive
  235. [18 dic 16 11:52] * Kira * "Let's tear 'em to shreds!"
  236. [18 dic 16 11:52] * Tomato * With such a massive army clash, I'll just go bare-handed and punch and fling monsters away.
  237. [18 dic 16 11:54] # The topic is 'HP/MP/Status - Kira 100%/100%/Normal - Don 100%/82%/Normal - Racket 100%/---/Normal - Gold: 2274 | 27H : 4M | Adventurer Army: 432/432 | Monster Army: 898/938' (set by HaniwaShogun)
  238. [18 dic 16 11:55] * HaniwaShogun * One of the Dekants was instantly pulverized by Don's 'special move', the sword of light dealing extreme damage as it lit up the dark ruins with its cleansing azure flames. The sword of light even cut into the walls and roof of the ruins with its extreme length, leaving a scar of molten slag in its path.
  239. [18 dic 16 11:56] * rhs * (master swordsman at work)
  240. [18 dic 16 11:56] * Kira * (Nice and subtle)
  241. [18 dic 16 11:56] * HaniwaShogun * The other Dekants stepped back in fear from the attack, but they would get no respite. Like a pouncing tiger, Kira dived straight towards with a gaze full of bloodlust. Her sword raised high, she landed among them with a dance of blades that left gashes all over them and actually pushed them back momentaneously.
  242. [18 dic 16 11:56] * HaniwaShogun * "RAAAAAAAAH!" One of the Dekants raised his maul reflexively, as his body was scarred by blood, glaring at the swordswoman and moving to crush her
  243. [18 dic 16 11:56] * HaniwaShogun * however
  244. [18 dic 16 11:57] * HaniwaShogun * "I am your opponent." The maul was met upon by the steel pole of a halberd, the incredibly strong Stalingrad shrugging off the attack which caused the earth below him to crack.
  245. [18 dic 16 11:58] * HaniwaShogun * "Hahahahahaha! That's good! You guys are great!" Hefting his sword behind his shoulder, Roland gazed towards one of the Dekants with a bloodthirsty smile. "I guess you're my prey this time!"
  246. [18 dic 16 11:59] * HaniwaShogun * Wielding that massive sword with fluid ease, Roland charged straight at the monster and met the swing of his massive club with a swing of his own. Against all odds, the Dekant's mace was flung back from the sheer strength of opponent.
  247. [18 dic 16 11:59] * HaniwaShogun * "Hahahahahaha! Too weak! Eat this... CROSS SWORD!"
  248. [18 dic 16 11:59] * HaniwaShogun * It happened in an instant.
  249. [18 dic 16 12:00] * HaniwaShogun * Roland's body glowed for a moment, and then in one quick motion he swung that sword two times in a cross-shaped slash that caused the walls behind the Dekant to shatter as the monster was summarily sectioned into four parts.
  250. [18 dic 16 12:01] * HaniwaShogun * When some monsters saw that the Dekants were being carved up, they tried to help. However...
  251. [18 dic 16 12:02] * HaniwaShogun * A Ham Bambara collapsed bonelessly to the ground, its head having been reduced to a messy pulp. The yankees which had followed him stepped back in momentary caution, eyeing the heavily armored enemy that had disposed of the beefy soldier.
  252. [18 dic 16 12:02] * HaniwaShogun * Racket cracked his knuckles, and without giving them the respite the monsters wanted, threw himself into the fray, securing the party's flank.

  255. [18 dic 16 12:03] * HaniwaShogun * --Turn 2---
  256. [18 dic 16 12:04] * Kira * Are there any Dekants left
  257. [18 dic 16 12:04] * HaniwaShogun * The battle progressed. The monsters, still hurrying to react to the threat of the humans, continued to be slaughtered by the dozens. A few adventurers were finally wounded and downed, but only because they were foolish enough to dive into the middle of the enemy without backup.
  258. [18 dic 16 12:05] * HaniwaShogun * However, soon that would change.
  259. [18 dic 16 12:06] * HaniwaShogun * "HAH!" Together with Kira, Roland felled the last enemy Dekant remaining. Everyone had suffered some minor wounds as the horde of monsters targeted them due to being in the frontline, but altogether nobody had been too terribly hurt.
  260. [18 dic 16 12:07] * HaniwaShogun * However, as the last monster collapsed and caused the earth to tremble, those rumblings continued in a way that made Roland react.
  261. [18 dic 16 12:07] * HaniwaShogun * "Something's coming! Watch out!"
  262. [18 dic 16 12:07] * HaniwaShogun * Everyone felt it, then. A tremor that began right below they feet.
  263. [18 dic 16 12:08] * HaniwaShogun * Jumping away, they escaped in time to see it emerge. A massive body of clay, with huge fists that uprooted a the hard concrete floor. Its empty, black eyes reflected nothing but death, and its massive fangs looked like they could shred a man to pieces in an instant.
  264. [18 dic 16 12:08] * HaniwaShogun * The Death Golem (true) had arrived.
  265. [18 dic 16 12:08] * HaniwaShogun * At the same time...
  266. [18 dic 16 12:09] * HaniwaShogun * "N-no!" One of the monsters suddenly collapsed on its knees, tears pouring from her eyes. "I-I'm scared! Help, Dorn-kun!"
  267. [18 dic 16 12:09] * HaniwaShogun * Roland's eyes widened. "Shi-"
  268. [18 dic 16 12:09] * HaniwaShogun * but it was too late.
  269. [18 dic 16 12:10] * HaniwaShogun * Still sniffling, the Goat-san sounded the horn that had been cradled at her chest.
  270. [18 dic 16 12:10] * Tomato * (Oh nuts, Dragon Knight)
  271. [18 dic 16 12:11] * HaniwaShogun * Space shuddered, and a massive figure descended from seemingly nowhere. With its massive sword that buried itself straight through the floor, it knelt like a gallant knight.
  272. [18 dic 16 12:11] * HaniwaShogun * The Dragon Knight rose, its golden armor gleaming as it glared at the horde of intruders that would dare harm his girlfriend.
  273. [18 dic 16 12:11] * rhs * (use ice beam)
  274. [18 dic 16 12:11] * HaniwaShogun * "We're splitting up!" Roland said. "Denver, Mia! We're taking that lizard! You guys, I leave that golem to you!"
  275. [18 dic 16 12:12] * HaniwaShogun * (actions pls)
  276. [18 dic 16 12:12] * Kira * "Understood!"
  277. [18 dic 16 12:12] * rhs * (well I still have plenty of MP left)
  278. [18 dic 16 12:12] * rhs * So Atlantic Laser disguised as Cossack Dance again
  279. [18 dic 16 12:12] * rhs * before retreating behind Racket
  280. [18 dic 16 12:12] * Kira * ok
  281. [18 dic 16 12:13] * Kira * I leap at the golem and strike at it
  282. [18 dic 16 12:13] * Tomato * (I try to slow it down with a Earth Smash, to hurt it as well as create a makeshift barricade from the debris left over.)

  284. [18 dic 16 12:15] * HaniwaShogun * Like a dance of death, Don's Cossack Dance once again carved massive destruction across the area, hitting the massive golem dead-on and causing it to cry in agony as the gajillion degrees of heat dealt extensive damage to its clay body.
  285. [18 dic 16 12:16] * HaniwaShogun * Fearing retaliation from the creature, Racket picked up his maul and smashed the earth with a massive swing that caused a wall of rocks to emerge between the two of them, Don barely making it in time to hide behind his meatshi- partner.
  286. [18 dic 16 12:17] * HaniwaShogun * At the same time, Kira looked at the wounded monster and saw an opportunity to strike at the monster, her blade aiming to end the large monster before it could cause devastation.
  287. [18 dic 16 12:17] * HaniwaShogun * However, the monster's screech tore at the three as it reacted with speed that seemed impossible for a creature of its size.
  288. [18 dic 16 12:18] * HaniwaShogun * When Kira pounced upon it, the monster reacted to the damage by swinging his arm to the side like a massive club, the limb catching Kira if only just barely and sending her flying with the monster's astonishing strength. Her armor, fortunately however, managed to soak up most of the damage.
  289. [18 dic 16 12:18] # The topic is 'HP/MP/Status - Kira 86%/100%/Normal - Don 94%/67%/Normal - Racket 95%/---/Normal - Gold: 2274 | 27H : 4M | Adventurer Army: 418/432 | Monster Army: 842/938' (set by HaniwaShogun)
  290. [18 dic 16 12:19] * HaniwaShogun * At the same time, the Death Golem looked at the wall standing in his way, and his half-burnt mouth roared in anger, before it did something truly abnormal.
  291. [18 dic 16 12:19] * HaniwaShogun * Ripping apart the wall of earth with his bare hands, it grabbed the massive chunks of earth and threw them right at Don and Racket.
  292. [18 dic 16 12:20] * HaniwaShogun * The towering warrior stepped forward to intercept the blow, but even bracing himself against it it would've done terrible damage it not for his anti-projectile helm, which shielded him from the worst.
  293. [18 dic 16 12:20] * HaniwaShogun * However, some of the debris struck at Don, causing him to fall to his knees for a moment despite the glancing damage.

  297. [18 dic 16 12:22] * HaniwaShogun * The battle suddenly intensified. As the monsters started using all of their special abilities, the death toll grew higher on both sides as the adventurers started to fight with more intensity.
  298. [18 dic 16 12:22] * HaniwaShogun * Natural selection started to take action, as the weakest died quickly while the stronger trampled over the bodies of the fallen.
  299. [18 dic 16 12:22] * HaniwaShogun * And on your side, the battle of titans continued.
  300. [18 dic 16 12:23] * rhs * (Ludo posted in thread)
  301. [18 dic 16 12:23] * HaniwaShogun * Roland and the Dragon Knight were engaged in a dance of blades, the warrior somehow capable of facing off against the mighty monster on his own, while the support of Denver and Mia ensured that none other would get in the way of his fight.
  302. [18 dic 16 12:24] * Tomato * (All the reminiscing summoned the real Ludo, that's odd.)

  310. [18 dic 16 12:26] * HaniwaShogun * this is the last one
  311. [18 dic 16 12:26] * Kira * I believe it was 3
  312. [18 dic 16 12:26] * Tomato * "This Death Golem is a lot smarter than the average monster it seems!" I do a Hammer Toss at the crowd of monsters to help the other adventurers, and slowly advance towards the Death Golem with Iron Flesh and Bulverk.
  313. [18 dic 16 12:27] * Kira * I get back on my feet and charge at the Death Golem once again, aiming to deal the finishing blow

  315. [18 dic 16 12:30] * HaniwaShogun * Together, Kira and Don attack the Death Golem with their best shot- The blazing inferno strikes the Death Golem, and this time the creature collapses under the extreme heat, unable to deal with a second shot.
  316. [18 dic 16 12:31] * HaniwaShogun * Before its stunned body, Kira quickly advances and with a brutal slash tears off its head.
  317. [18 dic 16 12:31] * HaniwaShogun * The collapse of the boss monster quickly makes many of the monsters cry out in fear, heavily demoralizing them. Rallied by the death throes of the great beast, the adventurers charge with renewed vigor and renew their attacks.
  318. [18 dic 16 12:32] * HaniwaShogun * At the same time...
  319. [18 dic 16 12:33] * HaniwaShogun * "K-kuh...! W-well played, hu... man..." The Dragon Knight collapsed to the floor, its body bleeding and broken. Roland panted, his body also littered with wounds as he clutched at his sword with both hands.
  320. [18 dic 16 12:33] * HaniwaShogun * "Healing!"
  321. [18 dic 16 12:33] * HaniwaShogun * As Mia started to mend his body, giving the warrior a much-needed breather... A new sound echoed through the battlefield.
  322. [18 dic 16 12:33] * HaniwaShogun * Once again, the chaos reached new levels of height.

  326. [18 dic 16 12:34] * HaniwaShogun * Like a dark storm, they arrived.
  327. [18 dic 16 12:34] * HaniwaShogun * "TIGER"
  328. [18 dic 16 12:35] * HaniwaShogun * That sound echoed through the halls of the Toushin Toshi ruins, and the sight that the 2nd and last wave of the expeditionary force was greeted with as they reached the ruins was that of black explosions engulfing the bodies of many adventurers, black flames melting through their armor and dealing heavy damage.
  329. [18 dic 16 12:36] * HaniwaShogun * Pouring from the many passages of the ruins, they had arrived. For decades, they had slumbered. But the presence of the hated barbarians had awakened slumbering subroutines, and MM Rune's cursed order drive them to wipe any barbarian in sight off the face of existence.
  330. [18 dic 16 12:37] * HaniwaShogun * Like an army of darkness, the Holy Skeletons of the Magic Sect rose to protect the home of the Toushin from the humans that once made them.
  331. [18 dic 16 12:38] * rhs * (fortunately they are weak against master sword techniques)
  332. [18 dic 16 12:38] * HaniwaShogun * "This is bad..." Roland said, as he rejoined your group and you reassessed the situation. The monsters ignored the form of the Holy Skeletons, allowing them to do as they pleased and accepting them as reinforcements. From the shambling rejections to the form of Rusts and Rommels, many powerful constructs had showed up.
  333. [18 dic 16 12:38] * HaniwaShogun * However, Roland and your party only had eyes for the most elite.
  334. [18 dic 16 12:39] * HaniwaShogun * Their dark champions of the Holy Skeletons were more like a flying fortress than a human. Their shrouds concealing two gigantic sphere-shaped lumps, the gigantic creatures known as Marder prepared to evaporate the enemies of the Sect with their horrible dark magic.
  335. [18 dic 16 12:40] * HaniwaShogun * And standing at the front of it all, the black-clothed Himmler extended one hand, pulsing with uncontrollable dark energy.
  336. [18 dic 16 12:41] * HaniwaShogun * "Don't you dare back out now, any of you!" Roland shouted, brandishing his sword at the metallic. "We're taking down that guy, now!"
  337. [18 dic 16 12:42] * HaniwaShogun * "Denver, Kira, with me! We're attacking the black guy! Mia, you back up the others with those flying bastards! Don will handle em!"
  338. [18 dic 16 12:42] * HaniwaShogun * (you're fighting against a Himmler and two Marders)
  339. [18 dic 16 12:42] * HaniwaShogun * (actions plz)

  341. [18 dic 16 12:43] * Kira * "Try and keep up, you two!" as I brace myself for a strong attack at their leader
  342. [18 dic 16 12:43] * rhs * (master swordsmen don't need actual sword techniques. Just special attacks)
  343. [18 dic 16 12:44] * Kira * (Is Don exhausted at this point from repeated spells?)
  344. [18 dic 16 12:44] * Tomato * I rush towards the other Marder and Arms Shatter one of two orbs he has. At the same time, trying to crash him to the ground.
  345. [18 dic 16 12:44] * HaniwaShogun * [12:44] Kira: (Is Don exhausted at this point from repeated spells?)
  346. [18 dic 16 12:44] * HaniwaShogun * this
  347. [18 dic 16 12:44] * HaniwaShogun * you can't cast right now
  348. [18 dic 16 12:45] * HaniwaShogun * but you still have 1 turn of empower iirc
  349. [18 dic 16 12:45] * rhs * okay
  350. [18 dic 16 12:46] * rhs * I'll wait this turn out. And fight some weaker Rusts for a bit
  351. [18 dic 16 12:47] * HaniwaShogun * (thats what you get for spamming spells ha)
  352. [18 dic 16 12:47] * HaniwaShogun * Roland and Kira rushed together to the Himmler, whose hands swirled with extreme magic power as he challenged them with a monotone, emotionless glare.
  353. [18 dic 16 12:48] * HaniwaShogun * "TIRPITZ"
  354. [18 dic 16 12:49] * HaniwaShogun * A black hole manifested in front of the Himmler, and from it a showed of arrows emerged. They split into countless bullets, aimed towards the two warriors that dared challenge it.
  355. [18 dic 16 12:49] * HaniwaShogun * Denver Stalingrad stepped in front to hold them, but the monstruous barrage was too much for even him, and the attack also damaged Roland and Kira.

  357. [18 dic 16 12:50] * HaniwaShogun * "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" The two warriors closed in on the Himmler nonetheless, and struck with two gigantic swings- Kira with her ogre-slaying slash, and Roland with a simply strong attack with both hands that caused the Earth to shatter.
  358. [18 dic 16 12:51] * HaniwaShogun * However, unlike any monster, rather than collapsing, the Himmler simply raised his arms to block, and for a moment both warriors started at the extreme strength of the monster, who endured both blows despite both of its arms shuddering with cracking sounds for a moment.
  359. [18 dic 16 12:51] * HaniwaShogun * (bet it'd be nice to have magic huh)
  360. [18 dic 16 12:51] * Kira * (lol)
  361. [18 dic 16 12:52] * rhs * (we have no mages though)
  362. [18 dic 16 12:53] * Tomato * (If only we had some)
  363. [18 dic 16 12:53] * HaniwaShogun * Against the Marder, Don couldn't simply erase them as he did the other monsters due to exhaustion, so instead he kept monsters off Racket's back by fighting Rusts, as the towering warrior jumped at one of the Marder and struck with a vicious crushing blow that caused one of the fortress' orbs to crack, causing it to collapse.
  364. [18 dic 16 12:53] * HaniwaShogun * "Why am I stuck with these guys... Recovery Rain!"

  366. [18 dic 16 12:54] * HaniwaShogun * The two Marders, both the one on the ground and the flyer, answered to the attack with vicious retaliation.
  367. [18 dic 16 12:54] * HaniwaShogun * "MESSERSCHMITT"
  368. [18 dic 16 12:55] * HaniwaShogun * A shower of dark bolts fell upon the two warriors and the priestess, the area of effect targetting all opponents at once. Though Racket used his bulwark technique to absorb part of the damage, it was not as effective when faced with two wide-area spells.

  370. [18 dic 16 12:56] * HaniwaShogun * "Aaaagh! You useless fuck, are you even protecting us!" Mia screeched, covering her head with her arms and screaming as the attack burned her.
  371. [18 dic 16 12:57] * HaniwaShogun * She had surprising willpower, however, and got off from the attack with only slight burns.
  372. [18 dic 16 12:57] * Tomato * "I'm a physical warrior! I don't do well against magic!"

  376. [18 dic 16 12:58] * rhs * COSSACK blue conflagration TANGO
  377. [18 dic 16 12:58] * HaniwaShogun * The battle was quickly getting more and more bloody, as almost half of the total monsters met their demise.
  378. [18 dic 16 12:59] * HaniwaShogun * Though the Holy Skeletons were extremely powerful, the Adventurers responded by acting more defensively, finally using the recovery items they had saved up and targetting the most troublesome opponents with the recently arrived, fresh forces.
  379. [18 dic 16 12:59] * HaniwaShogun * However, in the frontlines, the battle was becoming brutal with the sound of explosions and the clashing of swords against monster flesh and biometal.
  380. [18 dic 16 12:59] * HaniwaShogun * (your turn again)
  381. [18 dic 16 12:59] * rhs * what I just posted above
  382. [18 dic 16 13:00] * Tomato * "Aim for the orb-like implements! They seem to serve some purpose to these Holy Magic creatures!"
  383. [18 dic 16 13:01] * Tomato * I do another Arm Shatter to the other orb of the Marder, before punching it again and again in the face.
  384. [18 dic 16 13:02] * HaniwaShogun * (waiting on Kira)
  385. [18 dic 16 13:02] * Kira * "Can we distract this thing, Stalingrad? Let's give Roland a chance to do some damage"
  386. [18 dic 16 13:03] * HaniwaShogun * (just gonna say that and try to distract it?)
  387. [18 dic 16 13:03] * Kira * (Sure)
  388. [18 dic 16 13:04] * Kira * (Frontal assault seems to just get blocked)
  389. [18 dic 16 13:05] * rhs * (I wish we had a mage)
  390. [18 dic 16 13:05] * Kira * (But mages are evil!)
  391. [18 dic 16 13:05] * HaniwaShogun * (yes if only)
  392. [18 dic 16 13:06] * Tomato * (Who needs a mage, when we have the BEST SWORDSMAN IN THE CONTINENT)
  393. [18 dic 16 13:06] * HaniwaShogun * "-Roger!" Denver said, and responded to Kira's action by charging straight at the Himmler. Kira followed, making sure that the two of them completely encapsulated the enemy's field of vision.
  394. [18 dic 16 13:07] * HaniwaShogun * "SUPER TIGER"
  395. [18 dic 16 13:08] * HaniwaShogun * The Himmler gathered an extreme amount of magical energy in his hands, then released a barrage of gigantic balls of darkness at the armored warrior and the swordswoman, who both tried to defend or dodge against the brutal attack. However, the damage from the exploding fireballs was truly amazing, and for a moment Kira saw death.

  397. [18 dic 16 13:08] * Kira * (fug)
  398. [18 dic 16 13:09] * HaniwaShogun * -But at that moment, Roland came flying from the smoke, his body glowing with prower.
  399. [18 dic 16 13:09] * HaniwaShogun * "Take this, you bastard! CROSS SLASH... GIGA!"
  400. [18 dic 16 13:10] * HaniwaShogun * The earth exploded as the Himmler suffered a devastating blow that could shatter mountains, finally collapsing as even its core suffered the extreme damage from Roland's special move.
  401. [18 dic 16 13:10] * HaniwaShogun * The swordsman wobbled on his feet, before somehow gaining the strength to stand back up. "Are you guys alright!?" He looked at Denver and Kira, worried about the monster's final spell and the damage it had caused.
  402. [18 dic 16 13:11] * HaniwaShogun * "I'm... fine. Nothing Mia can't patch up." Denver said, a few droplets of blood falling from the gaps of his armor.
  403. [18 dic 16 13:11] * Kira * "ahhh... I think I'm alright. That was amazing!"
  404. [18 dic 16 13:13] * HaniwaShogun * On the other side of the battle, Racket and Don moved to action. Racket jumped on the Marder and with a second Arm Crusher broke the last thing's orb, and with that the Marder simply deactivated, unable to do anything as the warrior pummeled it over and over until it stopped responding.

  413. [18 dic 16 13:14] * HaniwaShogun * At the same time, a wave of pure flames devoured the Marder. It was extremely effective, the 'special move' striking a critcal weakness in the construct and engulfing it in a blaze of light.
  414. [18 dic 16 13:14] * HaniwaShogun * When it ceased, there was nothing but ashes left.
  415. [18 dic 16 13:15] * HaniwaShogun * "Healing!" Mia casted the spell on Denver, promptly forgetting about your group when she saw the fight was over. "Roland, do you also need healing?"
  416. [18 dic 16 13:16] * HaniwaShogun * "No, rather, you should use it on..." Roland was about to refute her... When a sudden chill crawled up his spine, and the straightened up, brandishing his sword at the distance. "If you have any recovery items... You should use them right now."
  417. [18 dic 16 13:16] * HaniwaShogun * The hands on his sword trembled, but not out of fear. On his face, there was only excitement.
  418. [18 dic 16 13:17] * HaniwaShogun * "Something... Amazing is coming."
  419. [18 dic 16 13:17] * HaniwaShogun * --Turn 6--

  423. [18 dic 16 13:18] * Tomato * Drink a Health Potion on the quick.
  424. [18 dic 16 13:18] * HaniwaShogun * The battle was almost at its end. Both forces had been depleted by about half, but the sea of blood that surrounded both sides was making everyone tired and weary, and morale was running low. Soon, one of the two sides would break and suffer massive losses. And judging by the victory after victory that the adventurers had scored, it would be them, but...
  425. [18 dic 16 13:19] * HaniwaShogun * Were they not the ones who had launched an ambush, aiming for a quick offensive to thin down the enemy's numbers?
  426. [18 dic 16 13:19] * HaniwaShogun * After all, the strongest amongst the monsters, that is to say the leader, did not often sleep close to his subordinates. But how long could they remain unaware?
  427. [18 dic 16 13:19] * HaniwaShogun * How long, until...

  433. [18 dic 16 13:25] * HaniwaShogun * Suddenly, from the army of monsters and Holy Skeletons, they appeared.
  434. [18 dic 16 13:26] * HaniwaShogun * Flanked by an army of strong-looking monsters, four figures appeared. They were clearly a cut above the rest, the Cow Bambaras and Octomen emerging in a line and glaring at the army of adventurers with death in their eyes.
  435. [18 dic 16 13:26] * HaniwaShogun * And in the center of them...
  436. [18 dic 16 13:26] * rhs * (cow bambara. Bezeleye sure slept around)
  437. [18 dic 16 13:27] * HaniwaShogun * "You stupid humans, you dare raid the monster town ruled by the Great Me?"
  438. [18 dic 16 13:27] * HaniwaShogun * With a body of pure white and rippling muscles, and blue eyes that glowed on a surprisingly handsome octopoid face, the Octoking sneered at the army of humans displayed before him.
  439. [18 dic 16 13:30] * Tomato * "You're a lot of talk for an Octomen!"
  440. [18 dic 16 13:30] * HaniwaShogun * "Ohohohohoho~ They've got some nerve, launching an ambush while we were having fun. But don't worry my lord, this Notes will make sure to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat!" Clinging lightly to the monster's arm was a Gal Monster dressed in a military uniform, with long silver hair and sharp blue eyes. A military cap framed her face, giving her a cute look that would have disarmed anyone who wasn't aware of her true nature.
  441. [18 dic 16 13:31] * rhs * (best gal monster)
  442. [18 dic 16 13:31] * HaniwaShogun * "Strong opponents... To test my blade." A pink-haired monster with long elfin ears said, a note that could almost be called joy lacing her voice as she unsheathed her two katanas, the blades swirling with strong fighting spirit that turned into visible power.
  443. [18 dic 16 13:32] * HaniwaShogun * "The enemy commander... I'll be taking your life." Golden eyes shone eerily from the bangs of a pale-skinned gal monster, who lifted a massive scythe with one of her dainty hands. In her eyes was reflected the figure of Roland, making shivers run down the spine of the warrior.
  444. [18 dic 16 13:33] * Tomato * (Wow, this Octoking really gets around. With some very elite Gal Monsters too.)
  445. [18 dic 16 13:33] * HaniwaShogun * "Kukuku... My girls sure are lively today. I guess that even for a bunch of stinky humans, the lot of you will have some use as entertainment in the end." The Octoking grinned, before raising his hand.
  446. [18 dic 16 13:34] * HaniwaShogun * "All units-!"
  447. [18 dic 16 13:34] * HaniwaShogun * "Get ready!" Roland shouted, bracing himself for the enemy's attack.
  448. [18 dic 16 13:34] * HaniwaShogun * "CHARGE!"
  449. [18 dic 16 13:34] * HaniwaShogun * And thus began the final stretch of the battle for the Toushin Toshi ruins.
  450. [18 dic 16 13:34] * HaniwaShogun * (how are we doing, want to cut here or go on?)
  451. [18 dic 16 13:35] * rhs * I'm good for this battle
  452. [18 dic 16 13:35] * Kira * (I'm fine to go on)

  460. [18 dic 16 13:37] * HaniwaShogun * "Don't be scared, they're just a bunch of monsters!" Roland shouted at all of the adventurers. "We beat them once, we'll beat them again! None of you dare take a single step back! We're going to win this, and we're going to become legendary! GO!"
  461. [18 dic 16 13:38] * HaniwaShogun * As cries erupted all over the battlefield, Roland turned towards the rest of the guys. "You guys move however you want, it looks like my choice is made on what to do! None of you dare intervene!"
  462. [18 dic 16 13:38] * HaniwaShogun * "But-!" Mia shouted.
  463. [18 dic 16 13:39] * HaniwaShogun * "No! She's too dangerous!" Roland said, and then glared towards the DEATH Girl, who was advancing so fast she had become a living blur. "Leave this to-"
  464. [18 dic 16 13:39] * HaniwaShogun * There was a shower of sparks, as the warrior barely avoided being decapitated by the girl's scythe. "ME!"
  465. [18 dic 16 13:40] * HaniwaShogun * "I don't mind if you come at me two or three at a time... I'll cut down as many as it takes." The Swordmaster said, her two swords brandished at the rest of the group.
  466. [18 dic 16 13:41] * HaniwaShogun * "I'm going, Lotte." The Octoking said as he stepped forwards. "I won't let any of these stupid humans touch you. After we win this, I won't let you sleep tonight."
  467. [18 dic 16 13:41] * Tomato * "Normally, I would let our swordsman fight with you, but his fire special attacks will do wonders for those Octomen. Don, can you take care of the Octoking and his surbodinates? I fight the Swordmaster!"
  468. [18 dic 16 13:42] * HaniwaShogun * "D-don't say something like that in public!" The Notes blushed, before crossing her arms. "B-But, I'll do my best to support you." Then she turned to shout at the army, her body glowing with a mysterious power. "Everyone, don't just charge head-on! Make use of the pillars to group the humans together and crush them from the bottleneck!"
  469. [18 dic 16 13:42] * Kira * "Don't you go and take all the glory, Racket! I'll have the Swordmaster's head!"
  470. [18 dic 16 13:43] * rhs * (hopefully my all party attacking spell actually does that now)
  471. [18 dic 16 13:43] * Tomato * "Fine! You go on offensive, I'll take defense!"
  472. [18 dic 16 13:43] * rhs * COSSACK blue conflagration TANGO
  473. [18 dic 16 13:43] * rhs * and then dash back behind Racket
  474. [18 dic 16 13:44] * HaniwaShogun * "Genius swordsman, huh?" Denver said, stepping up to Don's side. "I guess I'm about to see that from up close." He stayed at the swordsman's side, acting last as he saw the formations group up.
  475. [18 dic 16 13:44] * HaniwaShogun * (denver will protect you rhs)
  476. [18 dic 16 13:44] * HaniwaShogun * (let Racket and Kira fight the katana girl)
  477. [18 dic 16 13:45] * Tomato * I ready an Iron Flesh and Bulverk. (Also is Counter considered an offensive skill too?)
  478. [18 dic 16 13:45] * HaniwaShogun * yes that combo is 2strong
  479. [18 dic 16 13:45] * HaniwaShogun * (what is kira doing)
  480. [18 dic 16 13:46] * HaniwaShogun * (just normal attack?)
  481. [18 dic 16 13:46] * Kira * (Can I blood soaked dive again?)
  482. [18 dic 16 13:46] * Kira * (It's been a few turns)
  483. [18 dic 16 13:46] * HaniwaShogun * (yeah its been awhile)
  484. [18 dic 16 13:46] * Tomato * (Okay, so it's just Iron Flesh and Bulverk then. Chaining it with Counter would be overkill.)
  485. [18 dic 16 13:46] * Kira * Then I use blood soaked dive to close the distance with the Swordmaster
  486. [18 dic 16 13:47] * HaniwaShogun * And thus, the final battle began.
  487. [18 dic 16 13:48] * HaniwaShogun * Roland fiercely engaged against the DEATH Girl. Each of her movements were lethal, each aimed to strike a finishing blow. Any of them would score critical damage. However, despite his massive blade Roland could expertly dodge or deflect the monster's attacks, being equally matched in abilities.
  488. [18 dic 16 13:48] * HaniwaShogun * With all the pressure she was making, however, he was finding it near impossible to use his special move.
  489. [18 dic 16 13:48] * HaniwaShogun * At this rate...
  490. [18 dic 16 13:50] * HaniwaShogun * Kira dived towards the Swordsmaster with a running leap, moving fast as a bullet to engage the target. The monster's eyes narrowed, sensing the power behind the attack. Her arms raised up, blades ready for her attack as the human landed and started assailing her with a storm of blows.
  491. [18 dic 16 13:51] * HaniwaShogun * "...I can see it!" The swordmaster deflected the blows, arms flowing with inhuman skill and power and striking back at each of this slashes with a clarity that most warriors were incapable of achieving.
  492. [18 dic 16 13:51] # The topic is 'HP/MP/Status - Kira 82%/92%/Normal - Don 70%/75%/Normal - Racket 100%/---/Normal - Gold: 2274 | 25H : 3M | Adventurer Army: 245/432 | Monster Army: 402/938' (set by HaniwaShogun)
  493. [18 dic 16 13:52] * HaniwaShogun * However, as if rejecting the idea of her attack being nullified, an inner power surged from Kira and the shockwaves from her attacks grew tangible and visible form, becoming sycthes that cut light gashes across the Swordmaster's body. The gal monster's eyes widened, surprised by the esoteric effect.
  494. [18 dic 16 13:52] * rhs * (looks like we finally have a mage in the party)
  495. [18 dic 16 13:53] * HaniwaShogun * "...Dangerous." The monster leapt back to get a little distance, then quickly dashed forwards with a murderous expression on her eyes as her swords, having been pulled to their sheaths, flashed once again.
  496. [18 dic 16 13:54] * HaniwaShogun * -However, before the Swordmaster's brutal sword attack could connect, Racket stood in front of the two. His body became a fortress itself, his arms lashing out to the lighting-fast blades and stopping them in their tracks between his armored arms and the plates at the side of his torso.
  497. [18 dic 16 13:55] * HaniwaShogun * And yet... his body shuddered as the shockwave of the attack was enough to make his arms and stomach scream in pain.
  498. [18 dic 16 13:55] # The topic is 'HP/MP/Status - Kira 82%/92%/Normal - Don 70%/75%/Normal - Racket 80%/---/Normal - Gold: 2274 | 25H : 3M | Adventurer Army: 245/432 | Monster Army: 402/938' (set by HaniwaShogun)
  499. [18 dic 16 13:56] * HaniwaShogun * Don's conflagration struck the enemy, the massive wave of fire encapsulating the arrogant Octomen and Bambaras with ease, dealing devastating damage to the charging army. Some died, but the majority were high-leveled enough that one single spell wouldn't be enough to end them.
  500. [18 dic 16 13:57] * HaniwaShogun * "Hmph! This power...!" The Octoking's eyes widened, him having jumped to avoid the spell but having still received damage from the towering explosion. The Battle Notes at the back, however, had completely evaded the attack with surprising agility and grace.
  501. [18 dic 16 13:57] # The topic is 'HP/MP/Status - Kira 82%/92%/Normal - Don 70%/65%/Normal - Racket 80%/---/Normal - Gold: 2274 | 25H : 3M | Adventurer Army: 245/432 | Monster Army: 402/938' (set by HaniwaShogun)
  502. [18 dic 16 13:58] * HaniwaShogun * "I see, so you're not complete garbage! BUT, this great me will be the one to end you!" The Octoking then charged straight towards Don, recognizing the swordsman as the most powerful opponent among the party. However, before his fists could land and reduce him to pase, a wall of iron stood in his way.
  503. [18 dic 16 13:59] * HaniwaShogun * "That was pretty effective, genius swordsman." Denver Stalingrad sneered, even as he engaged the Octoking dead on. "Sorry, but you'll have to get past me first!"
  504. [18 dic 16 13:59] * HaniwaShogun * "Sh-shit, what do I do!?" Mia looked back and forth, torn between going against Roland's orders or obeying him and helping the party instead.
  505. [18 dic 16 13:59] * HaniwaShogun * ---Turn 8---
  506. [18 dic 16 14:00] * Tomato * "You're too dependent on your blades!" I desperately try to hold on to the blades with all my might. Trying to yank them from the Swordmaster, I use Iron Flesh to increase defence and grapple with the Swordsman.
  507. [18 dic 16 14:00] # The topic is 'HP/MP/Status - Kira 82%/92%/Normal - Don 70%/65%/Normal - Racket 80%/---/Normal - Gold: 2274 | 25H : 3M | Adventurer Army: 215/432 | Monster Army: 362/938' (set by HaniwaShogun)
  508. [18 dic 16 14:01] * HaniwaShogun * (grappling is an offensive technique, tomato)
  509. [18 dic 16 14:01] * HaniwaShogun * (also you just used iron flesh a turn ago)
  510. [18 dic 16 14:01] * HaniwaShogun * (if you grapple, you have to remove iron flesh)
  511. [18 dic 16 14:01] * Kira * While Racket has the Swordmaster disabled, I attempt to end it with a swing at her neck
  512. [18 dic 16 14:02] * Kira * (oh or maybe not depending on what's happening here)
  513. [18 dic 16 14:02] * Tomato * (Oh, then I'll just grapple then. I thought it was just a movement instead of a technique.)
  514. [18 dic 16 14:04] * HaniwaShogun * waiting on rhs
  515. [18 dic 16 14:08] * HaniwaShogun * oh shit
  516. [18 dic 16 14:08] * HaniwaShogun * I need to go eat lunch
  517. [18 dic 16 14:08] * HaniwaShogun * Sorry, we'll end it here >_>
  518. [18 dic 16 14:08] * Tomato * Okay then.
  519. [18 dic 16 14:08] * HaniwaShogun * yeah I'm with my family for the holidays
