When Darkness Falls (Sign-up RP)

[Silver Snake]

"Ha... Hahahaha! I can't believe that worked!" Sunny's nervous laughter filled the narrow channel and he looked at his bow with wonder. "This thing is amazing! I feel like I can't miss!" His celebration had distracted him from the very real threat of being torn apart by the carnivorous Borogroves, but luckily other ponies were paying more attention than he was. The explorer found his sun-bedecked flank saved by the unicorn's resourcefulness and extremely handy power. The sturdy rock barrier let him recover and flash her a beaming smile. "Hey thanks.... uh... y'know, I think I'll have to learn your name later. Just let me..." The Earth pony trailed off as he fetched three more arrows from his quiver and nocked them on the string.

As the fletchings brushed his mouth, he felt an odd sensation, like a power of a much more skilled archer flowing through him, and he found he was able to draw his bowstring back farther. Just as a larger rock fell away from the wall and created an opening, Sunny let fly his arrows once more.

High above the fighting ponies, Lucens shrieked sadly. He had tried swiping his claws at one of the creatures earlier, but it had escaped with no damage. If Sunny had known the effects of the Staff, he would have undoubtedly brought one into the depths. However, he was without, and his trusted partner was unable to help.

[Ründo]

Noy saw the adventures start fighting the main attacking group; but his interest was the group blocking the path forward. [shadow=black,left]"hmmm"[/shadow] he looked at the birds, then the slime, then the birds, then the slime, [shadow=black,left]"HHMMMM."[/shadow] He drew forth his magical might and pulled a large glob of slime off the ground and flung it into one of the birds blocking the path.

[The Wandering Magus]

The bird is unable to even screech as it dissolves into tiny particulates in the slime.  Its fellows, suddenly realizing the danger, signal to the other Borogroves, who rush the group, all Aggression directed at Noy.  Nine ravenous carnivores attempt simultaneous Slashing Claws,Savage Kicks and Crushing Beaks attacks at the pony.

Sunny's Triple Shot boosts his Focus still further, and manage to whittle three of the attackers to 50% health.

The Rock Wall Construct crumbles, its defensive capabilities overcome.

[Ründo]

((Great, had to find the solution AND aggro the lot of them; typical))

Noy smiled briefly at his success, only to realize that he had aggro'd the whole pack. [shadow=black,left] "Right, of course they would all go for me,"[/shadow] he grumbled before darting out of the way of the first wave of attacks.  After which, he quickly prepared to counter attack any further attacks using a slime shield.

[The Wandering Magus]

Noy's Dodge is successful, but it will take some effort to transfer the Borogroves' Aggression from the pony.

((they're coordinated and intelligent, it's not like they'll just stand there and take it; also, hoping to see a bit more teamwork if/when ponies can be online at the same time.))

[Chirp]

"Oh sweet Celestia!" Majem cried out when the party got attacked. Seeing some other ponies take action, Majem got his bow and tried to help. Remembering Noy's trick from earlier, which caused him to be attacked by nine of the monsters, gave Majem an idea as well. He scooped up some of the slime with his arrowheads, then fired away at the Borogroves.

[The Stars]

(( XD I miss quite a bit when I'm in bed, don't I?))
Price targets one of the Borogroves and thinks about how to approach this. He had the advantage in taking them on in flight, but he had to be able to outrun them first if he want's to have a chance of keeping from harms way. He then turns to Range. "Miss Conjure, I have an idea! Propel me to that one, over there!" He says, pointing at one of the 9 demons in front of them.
"Alright- Sure hope you know what you're doing." She says, creating a small wall for  Price to jump off of. Price lands onto the wall and faces towards his target, and then suddenly Range starts to restart the transmutation, although this time the strange tattoo on her back begins to glow. Noticeably, her construction rate increased seemingly Twice it's normal rate, propelling Price Over to the Borogorve, waiting at the right time to attack. Afterwords, Range takes out her staff after realizing she won't be able to be of much use without it.

[bleyd]

Bleyd which has been examining the caustic sludge (sleeping what happens ) looks up and see the fight that takes place. bleyd jump and try to hit one of the chickens in flight that threatening noy. digging her claws into his chest and using this how mattress. bleyd has thermal vision

[ArtVeigar]

Tian looked at the fight happening. Noy was in danger after finding the best way to defeat them, and the ponies now should use the same, like Majem was also doing. She took out Taiyang, fiting it perfectly in the sockets of her greaves and, with a spin, used it to attack one of the bird's legs. After the spin, she was with her back for the falling borogrove, so, with a fast movement, she bucked him in the acid's direction, hoping for it to fall right and dead. She wasn't happy while attempting to kill an animal for the first time, but she knew best that it would be the birds or her and her companions.

"Sorry" - She muttered for herself, with a sad but determined expression.

[The Wandering Magus]

The slime begins eating away at the Legendary Arrows almost as soon as they touch it, but successfully Buffs the arrows, adding Damage Over Time as an additional effect and doubling damage, though the change in weight decreases range.

The Triple Shot thus hits the nearest Borogroves, reducing three of the creatures' health to 66% each, and adding a Caustic Wound which takes off an additional 5% every 3 seconds.  The three creatures' Aggression is also transferred to Majem, and they attempt a combination attack with Charge, Slashing Claws and Savage Kicks.

The Fellowship Maneuver doubles Price's damaging attacks and gives Range a small window to do an Area of Effect damaging transmutation.  The targeted Borogrove is Mesmerized by the attack and cannot move for a moment.

Bleyd's thermal vision shows that the creatures can scarcely be called alive in the normal sense of the term, and despite somewhat normal-looking appearances are indeed a sort of cross-breed between Nameless and ancient bird-raptors from before the Deluge.

Bleyd's close-range attack is successful, dealing Devastating Damage to the creature and reducing its health to 50% in a single strike.  He also Stuns the creature, who is unable to move for a moment.  His Enemy Shield maneuver additionally adds a defensive Buff to him, and strikes will be Absorbed by the Borogrove.

This also causes one of the two other remaining Borogroves to notice the Guardian and transfer its Aggression to him.  It attempts Slashing Claws and Savage Kicks on the pony; the first attack is Absorbed by the Enemy Shield maneuver, causing the equipped creature to be Defeated as its spirit flees back down into the depths, leaving only a heavy shield.  Bleyd's decisions will affect whether the Savage Kicks will damage him.

The remaining Borogrove is successfully defeated instantly by the monk's Art, which manages to prevent any transfer of Aggression to the monk.

[bleyd]

first blood bleyd lifts and throws borogrove furiously against the other borogrove direct to her eyes. while he can not see active optical camouflage and moves to the side of the creature waiting for a moment to plunge the twin blades claws in the spinal column

[Chirp]

Majem's Legendary Sword levitates in front of him and parries the incoming attacks of the Borogroves. He focuses his next attack on just one of the Borogroves, without the slime this time, three arrows were fired at the same enemy.

[The Wandering Magus]

Bleyd's Enemy Throw maneuver successfully Interrupts the Savage Kicks attack, Stunning the opponent for a moment.  His sidestep is both unnecessary and a waste of time, as the creature shakes out of the stun and attempts Slashing Claws again at the pony.

Majem successfully Parries the combination attack, and his Triple Shot successfully reduces the targeted Borogrove's health to 0%, defeating it.  The other two creatures attempt another combination attack, this time from two different sides, with Slashing Claws and Savage Kicks.  His Caustic Wounds, meanwhile, deal Poison damage to the Borogroves, whose healths are reduced to 61% each.

[bleyd]

bleyd wait in optical camouflage. if the gorogobe attack he dodge to left and hit with upperchat target a right wing trying rip this.

[The Wandering Magus]

Of course, the Borogrove's Slashing Claws attack did not need it to move forward, and the pony had underestimated the creature's reach.  His dodge was able to evade two of the three attacks, but the third reduced the Guardian's health to 90%, leaving a Painful Wound that reduces the pony's health by 2% every three seconds and slows his attacks.

He had also failed to realize that the creatures, though they were birds, had no wings at all, having only their two legs and their sharpened beaks to attack or defend with.

The Borogrove attempts another Slashing Claws attack on Bleyd.

[super_chris85]

Glimmer tried to stay away from the fight not really being a fighter

[The Wandering Magus]

Glimmer had an opportunity to use a Healing spell to remove the Painful Wound debuff and restore Bleyd's Health.

[bleyd]

rage bleyd flies direct to Breast of creature he not evade or dodge atacks only wants impaling claws  in the sternum and pull out his spinal column through chest

[The Wandering Magus]

Bleyd's Blind Charge increasing incoming damage while removing Evade ability; his Rage Self-Buff increases outgoing attack but increases existing and incoming Wound effects.

Rage doubles the Painful Wound effect, which now reduces the pony's health by 4% every 3 seconds.

His failure to Evade is costly, and the three Slashing Claws attacks each cause Devastating Damage and remove 15% of his health, reducing his total health to 45%.

The Rage-increased Painful Wound debuff reduces Bleyd's health to 41%.

The Slashing Claws attack Interrupts his Blind Charge, and the Devastating Damage Stuns the pony, who is unable to move for a moment.

The Borogrove takes the opportunity to attempt another Slashing Claws attack.

Glimmer's opportunity will close soon.

[super_chris85]

Glimmer looked around and saw Bleyd wounded and started using her magic from the ground to heal him
