Flynn and Laviil: Fight some Bones and Talk some Feelings

<Ken> For a long moment, you hear nothing. For a long moment, nothing happens. You prepare to unload the second you see him, but for now.. nothing is happening. With that same phrase repeated three times in slightly different variations, you now have a pretty okay understanding of how little is going on at this current moment in time. It is only then tha
<Ken> t walls are blown apart as bone missiles tear through them, the illusion Laviil, the real Laviil and also Flynn take a spike of bone in the shoulder, entire segments of the wall falling off in chunks from above and below. The floor is failing, and gravity is still in effect the *wrong direction.* Roll your to hits and damages and then take your tur

<Ken> To all three of you.
<Flynn> (OOC) From the bone spike, yeah
<Laviil> The fake Laviil shatters, having only a single HP
<Ken> Then it's the turn of whoever goes after mister bonely.
<Ken> I think.. Flynn, right? You see a mass of bones shifting and turning through the holes in the walls and standing has become precarious.
* Flynn tears the bone spike out of his shoulder.
<Flynn> "Owww FUCK."
* Flynn lines up another shot to the bonely mass

<Flynn> (Major Action)
<Ken> You hit a bone, the dang thing exploding in a shatter of shards.
<Flynn> "Come on Laviil, we can do this."
<Flynn> (Minor Action)(Help Ally)(Laviil has Advantage to next move)
* Flynn is getting worried about the increasing lack of footing, however.
* Laviil pulls out her own bone spike, setting it on fire in a rage
<Laviil> She glares at it, then surrounds herself with fireballs before launching all six at the monster

<Ken> Most of your flame bullets pass through the bones, but one manages to hit a mass, poofing into a blackened mark.
<Ken> The giant skeletal face appears, right below Flynn. A mass of bones shoots up at him, causing him to have to roll acrobatics.
<Flynn> !roll 1d20+3
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+3 --> [ 1d20=19 ] | {22}
<Ken> You manage to escape the clutches of the open mouthed skeleton, not getting eaten by the bones that would have pushed you into his mouth. The skeletal face starts glowing in what Laviil recognizes to be a spell.
<Laviil> "carefuull, Flynn"
<Laviil> "iit'ss tryiing ssome kiind of sspellll"
<Ken> He ends his turn, and Flynn goes now.
* Flynn is starting to get a little angry. This fighting is getting to him. He's starting to get little tired about almost dying all the time. He grits his teeth, he takes it out on the monster.
<Flynn> "rrrrRRRRR BUDDY YOU'RE GONNA LOOK REAL GOOFY WHEN HALF YOUR FACE IS SHATTERED." (Minor)(Intimidate)

<Ken> You fire bullets and flame into it's body and face, when the skeletal head grows bigger and the arcane spell reaches insane magnitude.
<Ken> It lets loose an earth shattering shriek as the spell is unleashed.
<Ken> !roll 1d20+8 vs fortitude
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+8 --> [ 1d20=12 ] | {20}

<Ken> You each take ten damage, and he is healed for twenty.
<Ken> Flynn, the spell cast, you feel woozy but well enough to not fall to your death on the crippled tower.
<Ken> Take your turn.

<Flynn> (Revolver: 2/6)
<Flynn> "We gotta... *huff* we gotta STOP that thing!"
<Flynn> "Can you distract it or something?"

<Laviil> Laviil summons an illusory copy of herself, which she commands to distract the bone monster away from whatever Flynn is planning

<Laviil> vs passive perception
<Laviil> Laviil herself flies further away from the creature, using her movement to put herself closer to out of range of some of its attacks
<Laviil> End turn
<Ken> You fly further down the tower away from where the main assortment of bones lies, but you can hear more scritching along the walls of wherever you end up. The fake Laviil rushes in and is as assuming as she can be, which is a lot. The mister bonely spends his turn executing the fake Laviil, and it is now Flynn's turn again.
<Laviil> "ii don't have muuch power lleft, Flynn"
<Laviil> "iif youu're goiing to do ssomethiing, iit needss to be ssoon"
* Flynn thinks about something he's had for a long time now.
* Flynn thinks to himself: "Oh man, if heroes are jackasses that wing-it without plans, then I'm feeling pretty god-damn heroic right about now."
* Flynn uncaptchalogues his GREY SPAGHETTI SAUCE JAR BOMB
<Flynn> (Minor)
* Flynn chucks the bomb at the center of the bonely beast.
<Flynn> (Major)
<Flynn> "Laviil! Get back and HIT THAT THING!"
<Flynn> End turn.
<Ken> The bomb explodes, bones shattering out of hand. The head is consumed in concussive force, and the walls that remain crumble to pieces.

<Ken> You don't manage to save yourself in time from the precarious situation that you have made for yourself, the blackened and charred groups of bones catch your fall, and you land just have the cloud surrounding the skeletal head removes itself. It seems to be damaged, and you are safe, for now. Though the word safe is very unlikely to actually apply
<Ken> here, sitting in the rib cage of the enemy.
<Ken> Laviil, it's your move.
<Laviil> Wasting no time, Laviil attempts to pick Flynn up and fly out of there
<Ken> You spend a major action to reach him in time, picking him up and getting out of literally the worst place to be.
<Ken> Is there anything you can do with a minor action while holding a person?
<Laviil> not unless she can fly even further away
<Laviil> End Turn
<Ken> The bone does something familiar, in this last vestige of it's defense. It's skeletal mouth opens wide, a gathering of arcane energies ready to consume the life essence of it's enemies on it's next turn.
<Ken> Flynn, your move.
* Flynn 's mind is racing. The bomb didn't finish it off? What is he supposed to do now? That things gonna drain the life force out of the both of you!
* Flynn has an idea, it's probably stupid, and it's going to suck.
* Flynn begins to uncaptchalogue bottles of the STRANGE GREEN LIQUID.
* Flynn starts downing some of the disgusting green drink.
<Laviil> "iiss that Ome'ss radiioactiive miillk?"
<Flynn> (Minor)
* Flynn speaks in between glugs
<Flynn> "Yes *gluglug* and it's gROSS as sHIT."
<Laviil> "then why are youu driinkiing iit?"
* Flynn lines up one more hopeful shot with his Hopemaker.
<Flynn> "Because it makes you REALLY fuckin' sick."
<Flynn> !roll 1d20+6
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+6 --> [ 1d20=5 ] | {11}
* Flynn 's aim is messed up by the combination of being flown as well as drinking all that gross liquid.
<Flynn> End turn.
<Laviil> "????"
<Laviil> As a final thing, Laviil places Flynn down and begins crafting an illusion
<Laviil> She uses her final major slot to create a solid wall between her (and Flynn) and the monstrosity as a last line of defense
<Ken> Inside a twenty foot cube, there is a solid wall between you and the bonely.
<Ken> Very solid, so solid in fact that the bone guy chooses to go around it instead of through it.
<Ken> You see the head peek around the corner and the bright light returns, bones following it and the spell being cast.
<Ken> VWOOOOM. The arcane energies pass through you/
<Ken> !roll 1d20+8
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+8 --> [ 1d20=13 ] | {21}
<Ken> !roll 2d6+4
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 2d6+4 --> [ 2d6=7 ] | {11}
<Ken> The same thing as before happens, where blood flows forth from your bodies to his, Flynn's however, seems particularly..
<Ken> Sickly..
<Ken> Oh lord, is his plan actually going to work?
<Ken> Find out next turn, Flynn your move.
* Flynn is feeling exponentially weaker.
* Flynn has one bullet left in his Hopemaker.
* Flynn fires it off.
<Flynn> (Major)
<Flynn> !roll 1d20+6
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+6 --> [ 1d20=8 ] | {14}
* Flynn lets out a deep sigh.
* Flynn turns toward Laviil's direction.
<Flynn> "You can do this Laviil. You're a cool wizard. *huff*... and cool wizards... never lose."
<Flynn> (Minor)(Help Ally)(Advantage to next move)
<Flynn> End turn.
<Laviil> Laviil nods, then faces the monster
<Laviil> Tapping into the power of her flame, she unleashes a roar of flame from her mouth

<Laviil> end turn
<Laviil> 20 damage
<Ken> Your flames spread over a large portion of bones, scorching them regardless of it's high reflexes.
<Ken> The skeletons surge forward to attack when something..
<Ken> Goes wrong.
<Ken> It sends bone spikes at you at a lethargic pace.
<Ken> !roll 2#1d20+8
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 2#1d20+8 -->  | [ 1d20=15 ]{23}, [ 1d20=5 ]{13}
<Ken> You manage to dodge the spikes, and the bodies shudder.
<Ken> Flynn, you take your turn now.
<Flynn> "Woah... that *cough* actually worked!"
* Flynn thinks to himself: "We're not out of this yet."
* Flynn reloads Hopemaker.
<Flynn> (Revolver: 2/6)(Minor)
* Flynn holds his arm steady, trying really hard to make any kind of hit that's not going to whiff the bone creature.
<Flynn> (Major)
<Flynn> !roll 1d20+6
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+6 --> [ 1d20=10 ] | {16}
* Flynn still manages to whiff the bone creature.
<Flynn> Pass turn.
<Laviil> Laviil summons another volley of fireballs, using an extra minor slot to make sure the first three hit
<Laviil> !roll 3#1d20+10
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 3#1d20+10 -->  | [ 1d20=6 ]{16}, [ 1d20=11 ]{21}, [ 1d20=4 ]{14}

<Laviil> 20 total
<Laviil> End turn
<Ken> It makes a move to use it's ULTIMATE ATTACK that it seems to like spamming, an arcane blast charging up in it's mouth.
<Ken> The next turn it will consume more life force, or at least try to.
<Ken> You have one turn to end this.
* Flynn stands up straight.
* Flynn loads two more into Hopemaker and swings it shut.
<Flynn> (Minor)(Revolver: 3/6)
* Flynn spits on the ground.
* Flynn thinks to himself "Well.. looks like this is it."
<Flynn> "I ain't afraid of you."
* Flynn brings up Hopemaker.
<Flynn> "I'm afraid of what I could do to you."
* Flynn Unloads with a very hopeful hope barrage.
<Flynn> !roll 3#1d20+6
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 3#1d20+6 -->  | [ 1d20=2 ]{8}, [ 1d20=13 ]{19}, [ 1d20=4 ]{10}
<Flynn> End turn.
<Laviil> Laviil concentrates, remembering that feeling from the bloody tower
<Laviil> Focusing on that energy, she attempts to channel it toward this thing
<Laviil> It stole her blood, so she's going to use every ounce of it against this monster
<Ken> Stop
<Ken> Wait no
<Ken> Don't stop
<Ken> Hold on.
<Ken> Flynn roll to hit.
<Ken> Just one.
<Ken> Laviil, roll your occult.
<Flynn> !roll 1d20+6
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+6 --> [ 1d20=5 ] | {11}
<Laviil> !roll 1d20+7
<Kaiserbot[Dice]> rolled 1d20+7 --> [ 1d20=15 ] | {22}
<Ken> Something weird happens in this six seconds that you two are thinking that you can end this. For some reason, a pull from Flynn catches your attention. He's.. attempting to cast some sort of spell on you? The.. You know exactly what he's trying to take but you don't know what that even means. With a 22, you know he's trying to take your hope.
<Ken> Do you let him?
<Laviil> Flynn... is a good guy
<Laviil> You trust him
<Laviil> Yes
<Laviil> You let him take your hope
<Ken> You are now entirely hopeless, but Flynns bullets then break reality. He believes so hard that he can end this that it is made so. The bullets deposit themselves into the skull and break it in half. The bones..
<Ken> Slowly start to fall to the ground..
<Ken> Whatever was animating them has ceased to exist.
* Laviil sinks to her knees, whatever determination that kept her moving gone from her body
<Laviil> It's gone, but what about everything else?
<Laviil> Is any of this worth it?
<Laviil> Does any of it matter?
* Flynn runs over to Laviil.
<Laviil> You're not going to be able to save them
<Laviil> Not any of them.
<Flynn> "Hey! It's gone! We beat it."
<Flynn> "Laviil are you..."
<Flynn> "feeling... okay?..."
* Laviil weakly shakes her head, slumping down further
<Laviil> Tears begin to gather, but even those have no motivation to run freely
* Flynn slowly kneels down beside her, unsure of what to do.
* Flynn attempts to give her a hug.
* Laviil does not move
* Flynn is so confused. She seemed okay just a minute ago. Is this from that creature draining your life forces? You seem pretty okay though...
* Flynn
* Flynn 's hug continues.
<Flynn> "Hey hey hey... it's okay."
<Flynn> "It's"
<Flynn> "Okay."
<Laviil> "iit'ss not"
<Laviil> "and iit can't be"
* Flynn it's really getting to you seeing someone this hurt.
<Flynn> "Hey hey I know it's hard..."
<Flynn> "Trust me... I KNOW it's hard but..."
<Flynn> "just now..."
<Flynn> "for the minute..."
<Flynn> "We're alive."
<Flynn> "And that's a pretty good thing."
* Laviil grows quiet for a moment
<Laviil> "be carefuull wiith youur powerss, Flynn"
<Flynn> "...what?"
<Laviil> "ii don't thiink beiing alliive matterss"
<Flynn> "You mean... my teleportation stuff? That's not really powers I think... just some tricks."
<Flynn> "...w-what?"
<Laviil> "nothiing matterss when thiingss are lliike thiiss"
* Laviil shakes her head
<Flynn> "When things are like... what?"
<Laviil> "thiiss"
<Laviil> "they're goiing to sstop exiisstiiing"
<Laviil> "we're goiing to fade away"
<Laviil> "there are thouussandss of uuss allready"
<Laviil> "we can't be diifferent"
<Flynn> "Thousands? What are you talkin' about?
<Laviil> "tiimelliiness"
<Laviil> "thouussandss of other verssiionss of uuss, allll diifferent iin the ssmallllesst wayss"
<Laviil> "allll dead"
* Flynn is feeling a combination of emotions. Part sadness and want for Laviil to feel better, another part frustration at what she's saying.
<Flynn> "T-timelines what? Why does that even matter?"
<Laviil> "iit doessn't"
<Flynn> "So if it doesn't matter, then YOU matter! Laviil there could be millions of me in split dimension-universe.. things or whatever I don't know. I heard someone talk about that once but it's beyond me."
<Flynn> "All I know is that I'm me, and you're you."
<Flynn> "And we're here."
<Flynn> "And we're alive."
<Flynn> "And that's pretty cool."
* Laviil doesn't respond
<Flynn> "..because we very easily couldn't be."
<Laviil> "yeah"
<Laviil> "ii know"
<Laviil> "...ii know"
* Flynn starts to think about what she said about powers, how his denizen described him, and how that last shot was seemingly way too powerful.
<Flynn> "Laviil... did..."
<Flynn> "Did I do this to you somehow?"
<Laviil> "hope iiss a sstrong thiing"
* Laviil nods
<Laviil> "ii llet youu"
<Flynn> "W-what?"
* Flynn sits down, dumbfounded.
* Laviil pulls her knees to her chest
<Flynn> "I did this..."
* Flynn stands up frantically and paces.
<Flynn> "Okay uhm..."
<Flynn> "So I did this to you right? Maybe I can un-do it or something?"
* Laviil doesn't respond
<Flynn> "Okay uhhhh..."
* Flynn grabs Laviil's hand.
<Flynn> "I am going to uh..."
<Flynn> "Fix this. Somehow."
<Laviil> "ii don't thiink there iiss anythiing to fiix"
* Flynn concentrates and grabs her hand tighter, trying to mentally assault Laviill with positive images and hopeful feelings, completely and utterly not having any idea how is implied powers work at all.

* Flynn is also making mental whoosh noises
* Flynn has no idea what he is doing and just wants his friend to feel better but is worried he can't.
<Ken> Laviil feels not hopeless again. She's still exhausted, but the worst effects have passed.
* Laviil takes a deep breath
* Flynn lets go of her hand in frustration.
<Flynn> "Dammit. What the hell am I even doing..."
* Laviil blinks, then looks at Flynn
<Laviil> "maybe try to be a biit more carefuull wiith youur hope-y powerss iin the fuutuure?"
<Laviil> She gives him a weak smile
<Flynn> "I mean yeah but that's scary. I didn't even do anything it just sort of...

<Flynn> "...Laviil..."
* Flynn you sigh. This is going to suck.
<Flynn> "..no."
<Flynn> "The power to do what you need to do... to save your friends... at any cost."
* Flynn clutches his fists and shakes his head.
<Flynn> "Just... no."
<Flynn> "I know what it means Laviil."
<Flynn> "..."
<Flynn> "There's something you need to know."
<Laviil> "what iiss iit?"
* Flynn hands begin to tremble, only held back by a white knuckle grip.
<Flynn> "Laviil.... I don't know what a moirail is, but I can tell it's important when he talks about you. I don't know if he's your brother or you soulmate or best friend or what."
<Flynn> "I had to make a choice Laviil. The choice it gave me was simple."
<Flynn> "Our session... or theirs."
<Flynn> "I chose ours."
<Laviil> "sso that'ss why Vii wass sso uupsset wiith youu?"

<Flynn> "I felt so bad I just..."
<Flynn> "It's okay if you're mad."
* Flynn 's voice sounds funny.
