Lightning Unarmed 7

[19:37] Khiora Zoruin says, "Mmm."
[19:37] Khiora Zoruin exclaims, "Basten!"
[19:37] Khiora Zoruin says, "Come beat up the sand loser with us."
[19:37] Khiora Zoruin says, "That golem is quite annoying."
[19:38] Basten says, "Hm? Sure... But we should probably let the boss know before hand... I thought the kavlore group was doing that? "
[19:38] Khiora Zoruin says, "...."
[19:38] Mars asks, "...?"
[19:38] Basil says, "What's up."
[19:38] Talmhainn Cruinne says, "Hm."
[19:38] Mars asks, "What you want?"
[19:38] Owyn asks, "The hell do you want?"
[19:39] Khiora Zoruin asks, "You speak as if you own this place. Why are you dolts present?"
[19:39] Mars asks, "...?"
[19:39] Osiris says, "..."
[19:39] Owyn says, ". . ."
[19:39] Mars asks, "You don't own this place either..?"
[19:39] Khiora Zoruin says, "We do."
[19:39] Mars says, "Your name aint Penelope."
[19:39] Osiris steps out of the way.
(Osiris)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:39] Owyn says, "Bigheadope."
[19:39] Mars asks, "...?"
[19:39] Mars glances back at Owyn?
(Mars)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:39] Mars says, "Shut up.."
[19:39] Owyn says, "Her."
[19:39] Owyn says, "Not you."
[19:39] Owyn says, "Stupid."
[19:39] Mars says, "Well duh, but Penelope's cool.."
[19:39] Owyn says, "Well, yeah."
[19:39] "..?"

It almost seems like Basil takes the most offense.

"FUCK YOU MEAN WHY I'M PRESENT? IT'S MY HOME." Of all people.. she would really ask a RHOYNUR what he's doing next to Ilburg?

"The hell. I'm the BEST BOY OF ILBURG. Ask Penny. Damn."

"No awareness these days."
(Basil)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:39] Del looks at the sand.
(Del mer Joyau)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:39] Owyn says, "But she's no Penelope."
[19:39] Khiora Zoruin says, "Penelope doesn't just own everything. We live here as well."
[19:39] Owyn says, "You live where we say you live."
[19:40] Mars says, "It's what Owyn says. So, if you ain't gonna put up the dukes and prove'em wrong...Well.."
[19:40] Khiora Zoruin says, "Ill rock your teeth wide open if you say that again."
[19:40] Basil asks, "??????????????????"
[19:40] Del mer Joyau asks, "Why is there.. tension..?"
[19:40] Mars says, "...! Welp."
[19:40] Basil says, "Alright that's it."
[19:40] Del mer Joyau says, "There's no need to fight..."
[19:40] Mars asks, "So, which one of us you want, Pinky?"
[19:40] Basil says, "Rhoynur on Rhoynur."
[19:40] Basil says, "C'mere."
[19:40] Talmhainn Cruinne says, "I'll put the lad in the sand, if tha's wha' he wishes."
[19:40] Mars says, "No, no, no.."
[19:40] Mars says, "Back off...Let'em choose."
[19:40] Del mer Joyau says, "I-- Guys..."
[19:40] Mars says, "Which one of us you want."
[19:40] Owyn asks, "Two on two?"
[19:42] Osiris sweats nervously.
(Osiris)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:45] The young woman would slowly smile. Looking towards Talmheim as she had smiled onwards. Her body slowly itching for some conflict between the two. One thing was for sure, she knew that either of these people did not belong here.

"You are the 'Best boy' and you bring your osronan friends along? Best boy my left foot. That man behind you talks quite big for someone who is always with a group."

The young woman would raise her finger, and point towards the black haired boy as she smiled onwards.

"That man right behind you buttercup. His kind doesn't get to speak about where I tread. An idiot like him deserves to at least fight and prove himself worthy of those words."

She said. Leering at the man hiding behind Mars.
(Khiora Zoruin)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:45] Mars says, "Oh damn..."
[19:45] Mars says, "Alright, alright."
[19:45] Mars scooches over.~
(Mars)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:48] Owyn merely shrugs his shoulders. People loved to think that he was hiding. It was always so strange to him when they assumed as such, too. But, nonetheless. Owyn's hands come up.
(Owyn)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:48] Quite frankly, she enjoys as much trouble as one could give. And considering the fact that they chose Owyn...Well, surely, they were definitely thinking that he was some sort of pushover. Nevertheless though, the young girl would merely purse her lips. "I suppose that if you're lookin' for a fight then, you've chosen the right one...He's actually one of the stronger ones....When he's not being dumb." She adds while waving briefly.

Although, as for Basil being recognized as 'The Best Boy'...Well, there's not much to say. However! There is a bit of a correction, "Oh right...I'm not Osronan. And actually, none of these people are..." Probably save for Del, but...Well, Del's also a part of their group now, much moreso than Osrona since they're seeing the 'light' with those foolish knights now..

Anyways though...

"What about your friend here. Is he gonna choose his battles too?"
(Mars)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:48] Mars asks, "Oop! No words, Owyn?"
[19:48] Osiris slowly lifts a hand to add a tidbit of information into this ordeal. Just a little something-something to correct the Rhoynishwoman's assumptions. After all, why allow her to simply accuse Osiris and such of belonging to somewhere that they do not?

"I-... I'm not... uhm... Osronan…" The Felinae states before backing up a bit in order for the others here to speak their piece and do whatever else it was that they sort to do.

No one ever really paid enough attention to Osiris to do anything about... anything.
(Osiris)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:48] Mars asks, "You scared?"
[19:49] "Are you fucking stupid."

It seems like he's simply.. not able to actually be nice anymore, but perhaps it's time for him to speak out a little bit more directly. After all..

It's clear that she doesn't understand anything at all.

"I ain't some runt you gonna talk shit to."

"I am the fucking Marauder of Ilburg, and Penny knows full well what I'm up to." A sudden revelation to some, perhaps, but..

Is he actually second in command?

He steps closer, almost getting right into Khiora's face; for already the stardust gathers around his form, clearly annoyed by this.

"These? These are Lionheart."

"They ain't fucking Osronan. They fought more knights n' cadets that you could imagine. They've been helping me, and they wanted to help Ilburg in the times when we about to get swarmed by both Myllenoris and Osrona - and you gonna respect them for it."

"And if ye have anything against that?"

"Put 'em up. I'll beat the respect into you."

Clearly, Basil is a bit.. thin on patience, but such is expected out of strong-willed, hot-blooded Rhoynur. If anything..

"Make your damn choice."
(Basil)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:49] Off to the sidelines, the Rhoynish lad left himself to levitate in silence, albeit he possibly could've stepped forward to stop it. Maybe his words could breach the chattering and foreclose this argument, until later.

But then again, he was curious to see the outcome. If only because, it was their way. And the matter of the fact was, even this fight here didn't settle who'd exactly would get the chance to hunt down the sand golem.

After-all, Illburg lay claim to all that which the lion group walked on. So as long as it was sandy. "Hm... I'd rather you both not maim each other. We still have a war to fight. And I doubt Penelope is going to approve of her medic losing a limb." Who'd apply it?

Waving a hand forward however, he glanced between the others.
(Basten)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:49] Basten says, "Speaking off... I smell bosses smoke"
[19:49] Mars exclaims, "A challenge is a challenge!"
[19:49] Basten says, "Doesn't need to resolve itself with losing limbs though. Not when we've got war knocking."
[19:50] Basten says, "Force the issue, and you'll have more than just her to worry about."
[19:50] Mars says, "...I ain't afraid of you."
[19:50] Mars slowly swivels.
(Mars)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:50] Basten says, "Oh... It wouldn't be just me..."
[19:50] Mars says, "She comes at him with that intent, that's her fault."
[19:50] Mars asks, "You...You think I'm afraid of other people here too?"
[19:50] "Mmmmm."

The swordsman would watch. He hadn't been instructed to do anything, and this looked like a situation built off of what he didn't fully understand. He'd simply stand in place just in case.

"We need a medic."

Stating the
obvious as usual, not in a dumb way, just a mr obvious robotic tone kinda way.
(Bastion)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:50] Owyn asks, "Mm?"
[19:51] Owyn says, "No one's gotta lose limbs."
[19:51] They feel their brows knit together. Upon arriving near Ilburg there's already conflict. This woman, whom they've seen on occasion in Osrona, the same with the man beside her. So, her words lose its weight when she sets foot in the very place she attempts to use as a reasoning to start hostilities.

The Deacon takes a step forwards, golden rays around their frame-- Merely shimmering, there is no hostility present.

"There is no need.. for any hostilities.."

Del makes no denial of her claims. It's clear, by their attire, where this one hails. But they're merely a soft spoken youth who wishes not for violence to unfold for no reason.

"Please.. let us carry on with our days..?"
(Del mer Joyau)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:51] Basten says, "Someone listens."
[19:51] Basil says, "I told her already what's up. She's gonna take back her words or put 'em up."
[19:51] Bastion says, "This land, enjoys solving problems with fighting."
[19:51] Osiris made no comment, despite being a medic. They didn't know Bastion.
(Osiris)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:51] Owyn asks, "Relax, Basil, she wants to fight me, so I'll fight her. Unless you're just wanting to let some steam loose?"
[19:51] Bastion says, "Is very fun."
[19:51] Mars says, "I think we should let her have Owyn. "
[19:51] Bastion whispers: Do you request aid, Mountain?
[19:53] The large man beside Khiora, Talmhainn watches and listens. He knew better than to interrupt his kin when they were in a fighting frenzy. This would be their glory to earn. Even still, he would look over the group, eyeing them up and down. His gaze settling on Mars, the lass quick to agree with Owyn. He would just chuckle. Owyn, the lad he had seen fight and always eat dirt, spoke so large, and now had a cheerleader for himself.

Although... Basil was quick to make a challenge. And they were Rhoynish. If nothing else, it was someone he could actually test himself against, rather than the bunch of sheep that followed.

"Aye, lad, I'll take ya on. Fer respect I'd like t' see if yer mouth an' pride 're as large as yer strength, or if bein' called a marauder is jus' a joke t'ese days.", he grinned, motioning to Basil.

"Outta respect as well, I'd say we 'old back jus' enough t' avoid potential missin' limbs, but... I also don' mind all tha' much either way.", he shrugged.
(Talmhainn Cruinne)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[19:59] The young woman would take a look towards the bandit boss. As well as the group before her. She wouldn't be surprised at how the group presents themselves. Nonetheless, Her chaining lightning would rise drastically. Her blood boiling.

"At a later time Twinkles. I wouldn't mind Ripping your title from you. But your little groupie friend here is the one I am after. He talked quite the big game, and provoked many of my allies doing so. I have a score to settle with him."

The young woman would look towards the mountain man. Giving a small smile towards him. For now, her job was placed off towards the side in order to deal with something much more important in her eyes. A small fit of laughter would be expressed.

"Unless Penelope says otherwise. Im going to press your little friend till they pop."

She said, leering at each of the fighters that were present, especially the white cloaked figure. One that stuck out like a sore thumb.She didn't believe for a fact that they weren't of Osronan decent. He would have to prove otherwise to her.


(Khiora Zoruin)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:00] Owyn looks around.
(Owyn)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:00] Owyn asks, "Many of your allies?"
[20:00] Mars lifts both hands to shoulder level. She shrugs..
(Mars)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:00] Mars exclaims, "Good luck, Owyn!"
[20:01] Yolin says, "Hey again kid. I like your lightning and wind magic."
[20:01] Bastion says, "The Medic is very strong"
[20:01] Bastion says, "They will be victorious."
[20:01] Yolin asks, "Hey are we betting?"
[20:01] Bastion says, "I can bet, I have coins."
[20:01] Yolin says, "Because ten coin after this? The Golem comes and attacks everyone here."
[20:02] Owyn says, "One? You came chasing us down, you electrified camel."
[20:02] Osiris held a thumbs up to Owyn. Even if they all tried to ditch Osiris just a few moments ago.
(Osiris)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:02] Owyn says, "Two, you're the one who said you owned the place."
[20:02] Khiora Zoruin says, "Are you going to blabber."
[20:02] Owyn says, "Yep."
[20:02] Owyn says, "It's kind've my speciality."
[20:02] Khiora Zoruin asks, "Or are you going to fight?"
[20:02] Talmhainn Cruinne says, "I like this kid more an' more the longer 'e's 'round."
[20:02] Bastion says, "Children talk alot todays time."
[20:02] Bastion says, "I prefer to fight."
[20:02] Talmhainn Cruinne says, "Aye."
[20:02] Bastion says, "To improve."
[20:02] Yolin says, "That one was in the arena."
[20:02] Yolin says, "He beat me fair and square, he ain't weak."
[20:02] Talmhainn Cruinne asks, "So eatin' dirt's made'em grow stronger?"
[20:02] Bastion says, "I will eat more dirt then, Mountain."
[20:02] Yolin says, "More like being too attuned to Saekenis."
[20:02] "Hey, if we're going to bet... I'll put down three hundred coins on the medic..." Considering it's the only knowledge he had between the two. It seemed only fair he no longer restrain his judgement and decide.

For betting sakes.

"Either way..."

Looking over in direction of the boss, he just wanted to add in a piece of knowledge to this all. "Hey boss, just wanted to point out though... The lion group wishes to hunt the sand golem. Zoruin says, we the city of Illburg. Are going to hunt it first."

That's all he spoke before falling silent. Looking back over to the argument at hand.
(Basten)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:03] Talmhainn Cruinne says, "..."
[20:03] Bastion says, "I must improve."
[20:03] Basten asks, "Saekanis you say, who is?"
[20:03] Talmhainn Cruinne says, "Bastion, don't... actually eat dirt, lad..."
[20:03] Yolin says, "I say...let one of those healers come with as a good measure."
[20:03] Bastion says, "As you wish, Mountain."
[20:04] Yolin says, "Oh hey its the flame user, hey there again Mars. Good fight you gave in the tournament."
[20:04] Bastion says, "Is 'Sparkles' going to fight."
[20:04] Bastion says, "I wish to improve."
[20:05] Talmhainn Cruinne says, "Was curious meself."
[20:05] "Ya' smell my smoke, I smell ego."

Spoken with an unstable grin as she marches across the sands. Calloused, bare feet leaving behind little indentions in her wake. Mentions of stress during the recent conversation come to mind, but to bear that weight is her duty. To accept the chaos of freedom, and all it births.

"An' it's a pleasant aroma, less it's waftin' from that smarmy dagger-eared bitch."

She takes a drag from the pipes stem, nestled between her lips. "Right. Dunno' what tha' fuck is goin' on here. Won't claim ta' know either. But, ya' know how it goes.

Talk shit, get hit."
(Penelope Dayndros)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:06] Bastion says, "Will our medic have to fight 2 people."
[20:06] Talmhainn Cruinne says, "Nay."
[20:06] Bastion says, "That is good, we need a healthy medic."
[20:08] He stands there, still in the sands. Yeah, talking was his specialty but he had a love for battle as well. There was nothing more within him than the thrill of a good fight.

It drove him forward, and ever since he'd witnessed certain events? He wanted to reach even higher than before. Newer heights. He didn't care if people saw him plummet to the ground in his many attempts to get there.

The journey. He'll grow through the journey.

So Owyn waits for whoever would be his opponent.
(Owyn)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:08] Bastion asks, "Must I provide as ' meat shield', Basten?"
[20:09] Bastion says, "I will improve, if need be."
[20:09] "Unless Penelope says otherwise?"

There's a bellowing laughter that comes with that statement. It's loud, almost obnoxious.. but to an extent, it's made to actually mock Khiora for all that she was saying. After all, not only she challenged Owyn.. but she said she'd be ripping away Basil's title - which most definitely implies putting him down infront of everyone else.

"You were saying all that shit a moment ago, that Penelope ain't own a place and such."

"But when she arrives, ya suddenly say all that?"

He shakes his head. To him, it sounded silly.. for while it's certainly a position of strength, if you cannot stick to it.. then what are you really worth otherwise? But to digress, his gaze briefly turns to Talm.

"I ain't gonna fight you till maiming. We still got a monster to hunt."

"If ye want a challenge, go onahead. I got qualms with this one, but she wanna fight Owyn already."

"I'll let her fight him first, if she wants - just cause I'm that nice and not gonna pile on her two-on-one."

He wafts his hand, almost in a 'come at me' gesture, directed at Khiora.

"What it's gonna be?"
(Basil)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:10] {NARRATION} The earth trembles, and the ground quakes.

The sands of the desert shift, forming a mound- and moments after, rocks explode in all directions from that hollow.

Pulling itself from the hole, the sand golem rises, and glares out at the gathered hunters.

Speaking of having a monster to hunt...

It appears it has arrived.
[20:10] Khiora Zoruin exclaims, "....!"
[20:10] Yolin exclaims, "It's here!"
[20:10] Basil says, "..."
[20:10] Yolin says, "And...I still lost ten coin."
[20:10] Basil says, "--It ain't behind me."
[20:10] Basil asks, "Is it?"
[20:10] Mars says, ".."
[20:10] Feuer Altoir exclaims, "OI! TIME FER SOME PAYBACK!"
[20:10] Khiora Zoruin exclaims, "You have got to be fucking KIDDING ME!"
[20:10] Yolin says, "Its behind the church guy."
[20:11] Yolin test
(Yolin)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:11] Owyn says, "Son'of'a..."
[20:12] As the boss spoke up, his breathing paced itself to a steady beat. Looking beside him towards Bastion. "Well, yes you could if you'd like... Bu---." Before he could finish his sentence.

The earth began shaking, "Ey! I think the shits here!" He called out, looking around briefly to see who was able to stand and who wasn't.

Luckily for the Rhoynish lad, he was floating about. As such, the rumbling was rather minor in his case, allowed the liberty to scan the area without restraint and see where it popped up at.

"All this fighting, shesh… This is why I wanted this to get done quickly." He groaned, scratching at the back of his head.
(Basten)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:12] "I also may--"

Picked up off the ground like a pebble.

The Sand golem arriving in fashion breaking apart the scene in meer seconds. Within the time frame to react the man would have his blade, armor and mind equipped for the fight to come.

A enormous dust cloud blinding him.

"D--Did I die?" A pause "Basten?! Coyote!? Mountain?!"

In disarray still blinded amongst the sand to see the problem amongst them all

The Golem had arrived.
(Bastion)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:14] "...!"

It seems that whatever conflict he had with Khiora was quickly swept under the rug, under a premise of the golem arriving here. After all, as much as he would most definitely catch up with all that she spoke of.. there's something clearly bigger to be taking care of.

And that's one of the monsters.

"Fuck."

"That ain't planned."

Already it seems that the stardust gathers all around his frame.. for he knows that he would need to defend himself thoroughly against the beast, should it happen that he'll be the one fighting- still, where the stars guide him, he knows this is a quaint endeavour..

One that could end up in many different ways.

"Alright. Who gets it first."
(Basil)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:14] He ignited.

Fists of fire, flaming glory, this uproarious charge of mana that swims through his blood. Contrary to belief it isn't hot, but cold, freezing. Like ice.

Liquid ice within his veins as he prepares himself to simply charge towards the woman. So much talk, so much hiding. And he was the one who was relying on his group?

There isn't a chance though as the ground rises. The sand, dunes, they constantly grow at a rapid pace and Owyn, Del and Mars with Osiris are the closest to it. Their group.

Their group.

"Dibs. Dibs!"
(Owyn)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:14] Basten looked over to his boss, while maybe a few here had gotten the chance to tackle the golem already. The youth was still refined and without injuries. He was ready to earn one here should it be applied. But regardless, he seemed intent on watching how things play out firstly. Figuring what his boss said, was the law.
(Basten)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:14] Basten says, "I ain't get my hands on it yet, but..."
[20:14] This was a perfect illustration of the stresses that came with Penelope's job. As for the exacts of what was going on she did not care. Might made right and one of them was soon to be correct.

She moved to speak to the woman at her side, some jest about that half-formed, then the ground began to rumble killing the thought before it reached her lips.

Instead she glanced to Yolin beside her and shook her head, "Glad I ain't take that bet." She mutters as the Marks across her body begin to glow a fierce and bright blue. Wisps of mana trail across her body invigorating her form as her feet dig into the sand below to gain what traction the shift granules would offer.

"C'mon, Best Boy. Show 'em why you're best!"
(Arturo)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:14] Basten says, "Whatever the boss says, goes."
[20:15] Looking on the Golem as he was not going to be part of this one. Watching first and foremost the golem again, waving to it. As he would exhale,

"I won't be apart of this one. I already tried to tame it and got cut. I ain't going again. So someone will have to do it. Preacher, you may want to aid our group for a moment if you can heal them.

If you want to live I say do as I recommend. Because it will slap you around like a ball. So have at it whoever wants it this time."

He spoke as he would chuckle. Taking out his waterskin drinking the contents of Stinnox Tail. Though as he would take out a small rock as throw it slightly at the golem. As he was going to wait, while watching the golem.
(Yolin)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:15] It wouldn't repair itself, this situation. They merely wanted to assist their friends in the hunt of a monster, parts of them compelled to rid the land of that which plagues it. Ever did their heart yearn for it these few weeks, these few months.

They watch the conflict unfold until they feel a rumble-- No, no. It's as though the earth shook and trembled. It nearly throws them off their balance with how sudden it is.

It popped from the ground, literally behind them. With how the sand pushed and pulled they truly almost fell ever. But the timid Deacon quickly backed away. There it was.

An evil needing purging.

Or at least something that could hurt it.

The Lionhearts, plus Del, were here first. This was their goal before the nosey adults appeared...

"There it is--" Pointing out the obvious as they back away a bit more, not wishing to be too close right now.
(Del mer Joyau)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:16] Bastion asks, "Why is it not wise to fight the Golem, Coyote?"
[20:16] Feuer leaps down onto the field in a blaze, her fires burning the sand into glass as she landed. "Cayden! Cover me! I'm gonna tear this thing apart BRICK by FUCKING BRICK!"

And thus, fire would cover her body once more, consuming her, devouring her entirely. Her violent transformation into the Inferno would once more take place, as she tore herself apart to unleash fire's true power and potential.

It emerged, covered in blackened ash and soot, eyes full of flame and rage. Directed, pointed at the Golem. Once more, the Inferno was not going to hold back, Feuer giving herself to raw elemental power at the price of her mind. She roared a challenge, shaking the sands.

This time, it would not escape the Inferno.
(Feuer Altoir)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:16] Bastion says, "Everyone else has failed, but we will Improve."
[20:17] Bastion says, "I must."
[20:18] Yolin exclaims, "Hey Therian here!"
[20:18] Seeing the Golem appear, the Arborea could feel the cracks in his pride reappearing.

His fists clench, but it wasn't time to act yet, Luneth wasn't aro-Then Feuer attacks...
(Cayden Arborea )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:18] Yolin exclaims, "Put it on!"
[20:18] Bastion exclaims, "I thank you Coyote!"
[20:20] The large man looks down at Basil with a sneer, the first time he'd smiled with a slight hint of maliciousness. Leaning down close enough for the to hear the rumble of the sands, he would speak to them. "Aye, lad. Lemme be more clear: I wasn' askin' ya. I was tellin' ya. Was me bein' polite, bu' ya seem t' have sand in yer ears. Ye-", he would stop for a moment, realizing the rumble in the sand wasn't his voice.

The golem had appeared, exploding from the earth incredibly near by. In that moment, the man's full attention turned to a far, far more interesting target. "FIN'LY! BEEN LOOKIN' FER A PROPER FIGHT T' TEST ME ROCKS!", he shouted, a glint of joy to his eyes.

Rocks and sand and wood, hardening and climbing to his body as he prepared to fight, he cared only to fight the beast now. All other matters would have to wait on the side. His body growing slightly, making him likely seem closer to the golem's height, as it would harden to a near metal state.

"A Mountain a' rock against a Mountain a' sand! Me heart drums wit' excitement at the thought!", he beats his chest like an animal, laughing all the while like a madman.
(Talmhainn Cruinne)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:20] "Right. I stood around for three hours waitin' ta' fight this thing yesterday. I ain't fuckin' waitin' anymore."

A miasma of blood shrouds her frame, and she's entirely uncaring of which three join her. Crimson fluids coat the unsheathed blade, and there is little thought that goes through her mind. She's annoyed. Irate.

Day in, and day out, forced to make decisions that affect the lives of the people within Ilburg, while granted little time to give half a second of regard for her own. No amount of delegation had changed this, and she doubts it ever will.

So moments like these? There is no need to think. No need to plan, no need to consider anything that isn't herself, or her enemy.

Much like with Weiss, or any other she'd lashed out against, she charges and swings.

[20:20] Osiris stifled a shriek as the being emerged from the sands, directly ahead of them - a step back simply forced their back to meet to stony wall of raised earth behind them.

This is the thing their guild ditched them for-- and chose Del to accompany them, for one reason or another...

Their lips pursed, a little too stiffly. The Felinae exhales rather quietly before allowing themselves to look between the golem and the Rhoynurs who were trying to start something.

What were they going to choose? Osiris might even help anyway.

"..."
(Osiris)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[20:20] The young woman would look towards the golem that would intervene in on their little scuffle. It was an irritating feeling to have your fight sidelined. The sands would grow rampant, and the golem would rear its ugly head...

"Damn... I thought I could fight em off for it!" The young woman stated, feelings of obvious irritation starting to show upon her face. Nonetheless, she wouldn't hesitate to reach their conclusion. Annoyed, she would back away.

"Alright child, Show us you are worth your damned merit." She would say leering upon the group. She wouldn't dare engage their group in the conflict. She wanted to see if this lionguard were worth the fruits of its merit.

She spoke with small fits of laughter. taking a look at the ground. Seeing the golem sprout forth.

[20:21] Basten quickly spotted the boss leaping in... He couldn't just stand by and let that happen. Not when he hadn't had the chance himself to fight while waiting the same amoutn of time!

[20:21] Bastion exclaims, "I will not disappoint you, Coyote!"
[20:21] Bastion says, "I have greatly improved."
[20:26] {NARRATION} The golem rages at the gathered magi surrounding it. Perhaps, were it a thinking being, it would have thought twice about rising in the midst of a massive group of spellcasters.

Its fists slam the ground, even as those who immediately swung to attack it go in for a fight- knocking them backwards, clearing a wide space around the golem.

But it doesn't begin to attack, yet. It seems to be waiting to see who, actually, is going to fight it...

( On an OOC level, only one group of people is going to get to fight the Golem each day- more than one was too much to write quickly, and kept people waiting for way too long. Keep this in mind, and is going to be the case for future hunts I, specifically me, run. )

[20:50] Basten getting blown back by the sand golem, it was more than a tough battle. It almost felt like an impossible mountain at some point. But he couldn't back down now, not when his personal bodyguard was watching...

He said now folding his arms.

[21:22] {NARRATION} Khiora, Feuer, Basten, and Talmhainn.

Those four hunters who intended- some of them, a second time in a row- to bring down the ancient bricken golem.

They manage to strike hard, and deep- constantly staggering the lumbering figure. Though strike deep enough?

They do not.

Its fists fly wide, clubbing into each of them in a flurry of rage- anger, at having been so closely defeated. Afore any of the fresh hunters may jump upon it, however- its fists slam to the ground, sending out rippling shockwaves.

And it burrows beneath the earth once gain, fleeing the scene of its assault.

Yet it can't win, or escape forever. Perhaps the next group will be able to defeat this golem...
[21:22] Mars says, "hmmm"
[21:22] Tiernay says, "Ahh, I missed a party."
[21:26] Yolin test
(Yolin)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:26] Feuer, for all of her monstrous anger, her raging flames, still couldn't manage to get the beast before it fled. She sacrificed her own vitality, diving after the golem in her rage, digging at the sands where it had escaped with her infernal hands.

But it was for naught. The beast had slipped from the grasp of the Inferno yet again. A shriek ripped across the desert, as the burning elemental cried out in frustration. She continued to dig, over, and over, and over, ash and sand mixing as she screamed.

The madness of the Inferno afflicted Feuer's mind, driving her only to new heights of rage and fury. She didn't care for those watching, for those who'd fought alongside her, or even for herself.

She only wished for destruction, pure and simple.
(Feuer Altoir)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:32] Engaging the sand titan, even without the bosses appearance at scene any longer. He couldn't allow the sand golem to continue its chaos all over the desert. With the settlement not too far off, it almost felt as though it was up to them to bring it down.

Dancing across the sands at full speed, he couldn't take his eyes off the creature for a moment without feeling as though he'd be punished severely for it. Punching against the hard exterior, but alas. His strength didn't feel like enough at times. Even as the cracks possibly appear.

The golem continued on with its powerful, booming control over the arts of sand and earth. Disrupting the entire flow in their favor when tackling the likes of close-quarters combatants.

Flexing his visage together in an attempt to strengthen his muscles to their peak in hopes of enduring more than he could. But unlike feur or the titan... He couldn't exactly endure for too long. Eventually the wear and tear was becoming too much for him. His vision blurry. Parts of him had felt as though death was already near.

More so as the titan pressed on without mercy. Even when victory seemed close, in reality... The group was never a match for the golem, constantly lead into a false sense of security and taken for a swirl.

The lads back slammed hard against the ground leaving his vision to the sky. "Lord... If I get taken now? Would you be happy with all i'd done... Even if I took no lives? Even if I questioned myself throughout my journey? His gaze grew watery with tears shelling down his face." Fear of death wasn't what bond him to such a shameful display, but the idea he'd still felt as though his story had more to be told.

It's not until the rumbling earth fell apart that he woke up to find himself still alive. Only left with some serious damage, but losing some wisdom teeth wasn't the worst thing to happen... "D-Damn... Things a dentist." He growled, swollen cheeks, he wiped his lips clean of the blood. Spitting bits to the ground beside him.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:39] Mars says, "Eh.."
[21:39] Mars asks, "Whatcha tryin' to do..?"
[21:39] Osiris says, "..."
[21:39] Talmhainn, The Mountain, The Rhoynish figure of Endurance... His battle frenzy flared as he struck into the sand golem, baring rock against rock. His body like Iron in the face of impossible might and magic. A construct, uncaring and filled with rage, it's rocks, bricks more ancient than any ruin's he'd seen before. They cracked and broke the man's earthen skin.

In the face of such might, the tall man could only smile. A worthy fight. A worthy test of his endurance. A foe worthy, to break the mountain.

His kin, they needed him. They needed him to stand strong. To weather the sandstorm that befell them. He refused to be brought down without a fight, the rocks around him hardening to their maximum degree. His body growing as mana pulled from his very core to raise a defense to stand the full might of this beast. He would be a shield. A mountain. A warrior who could protect.

He bore everything he had. All his strength, all his training, all his Will. Together with his kin, he pushed the golem back. His rocks broke into the beast's, and hurt it. They had managed to push it to lengths many would fail to achieve. Such things brought a hint of hope to the man.

But that hope, was not to last. The golem slamming it's fists into the sands, a rupture of spikes blasting out with it, the Cruinne would rush in front of any he could, arms barred in front of him in protection. His skin at it's hardest he could manage. But even this, was not enough. Such might, the construct wrought the stone towards them with. It would shatter The Mountain's stone, and pierce his torso, removing a chunk of his body with it.

He would falter, his body broken as much as his rocks, as he struggled in the sands, pain coursing through his body. "D-Damn... Never... Thought I'd, meet a monster, tha' strong...", he chokes out, spitting up blood as he'd pass out.
(Talmhainn Cruinne)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[21:39] Basil says, "Bad things."
[21:39] Del mer Joyau says, ". . ."
[21:39] Tiernay says, "Oh."
[21:39] The young woman would call thunder once more, Thunder striking her directly upon the body. Her arms and legs especially bathed in the lightning. Covered in thick layers of electricity surrounding her. Carefully she was pushing her influence upon her opponent. The giant mass of sand.

"Round two Golem. Your demise is Imminent!"

She yelled. As her thunderous footsteps would echo across the room. Clapping with each step she had taken. Movement Driving her every strike. Thunder echoed when fists have come to contact with hardened sand. And with the help of their allies, victory was proving imminent.

However, The Golem proved to become stronger than what she had expected. Zipping through blasts of sand and pillars of sharp rock would prove to become a challenge... Each moment being more hesitant than the rest... It was evident that the group was losing steam..

Her strikes growing so close! But the Sands around her overwhelm her.. Dampening her abilitiesas she fought on... Her kicks and blows losing their static touch... The Sands curse had became evident. Binding her ability to use magic once more...

This time, she was done in. The inhale and exhale would prove to be heavy.. And her ability to use her magic... Weakened to its possible point. She would take a look at her hand, attempting to summon forth electricity once more...

Only to see little static jolts.. The sand proving to resist her magical output.. The tiny pieces of rock managing to stamp out her higher volts of lightning.. Gripping her fist and slamming it into the empty sand... It seems that she had to start from scratch.... Once more...

"Shit shit SHIT!"

She yelled. She really thought that this golem fight would be the one... And yet she was met with not only failure. But the inability to use her magic to its fullest potential. It not only damaged her ability to use.. It hampered her pride ever so slightly as well.
