Oblivion Phantasy ~ A Decaying Flux 【RP Thread】

(Trigger Command: Open! on D9)

Nicoro put his hand on the chest and begun to open it. A second in he decided to grab the entire chest and pour the contents onto him in hope that it would be filled with gold and whores. Or rather, in hope that it would be filled with something that would not break upon falling to the floor.

At the same time, Taroh stood at his post, he stared at the battle the guardians seemed to be getting closer to him. Part of him wanted to make a mad dash to get away, but the other part told him to continue hiding. He hoped that the statues would be more concerned of the Delta-Q members that could actually deal damage.

Kaya had immediately begun to see stars upon the usage of her serpents. Though they could not pierce any skin to inject a lethal poison into the beast, she saw the singes on the shoulders of the menacing guardian. Unfortunately for the illusionist, she could not focus her attention from exerting so much Mana in such rapid succession. I can’t go on without replenishing myself… its all about the pacing of the fight. she thought to herself, reshuffling her Mana Cycle so as to do just that; replenish her mind an take a quick break. She screwed her eyes shut and tapped into the world, absorbing whatever Mana was left in the dying Cycle…

When her vision refocused, Kaya noticed Taroh cowering defenselessly in the corner. Nicoro was far from his human link’s body, leaving the little boy alone to the mercy of the stone construct, which appeared to be slowly making its way over to the boy. Kaya would not stand for having the mighty golem attacking the boy, and immediately set about to head off the monstrous being of rock and Mana. “Oh no you don’t!” she called out to the golem, despite the fact that it would never hear the words she spoke as displayed by Kirin’s act of peace earlier on, “You won’t be attacking this kid. Not on my watch.”

Face impassive, she stood defiantly in a stance of sheer aggression, preparing for the worst when dealing with a vicious being of rock that had no defined morals except one; to kill all in its path. Kaya’s adrenaline coursed through her veins as she called out for her companions. “I don’t care if we collect all this treasure or not, we aren’t leaving these monsters alive to prey on any more passers-by.” She herself wasn’t sure what had riled her up so, but she knew that this fight was about to become more than just a quick detour…

 

This battle was going pretty well, but they might not last well. Hendrix watched as most of the group's close combat guys charged the statutes. He looked over in the corner at Nicoro, where he was gathering the treasure. The plan was to get the treasure and leave immediately. He ran over to Nicoro and stood in front of another chest.

"Mind if I help?" Hendrix asked as he opened the second chest, hoping for something good that could benefit them.

And so the chaos began to grow. He smirked smugly and glanced back into the alcove. Seemed like the chests weren't opening all that easily and would require some extra force. Tch, just what we need right now, eh? Heh heh, he thought and nonchalantly strolled after the statue, the grip on his scythe tightening. "The thing expects to run from me? No mercy for cowards!" he exclaimed wildly and turned his body with his scythe outstretched before turning back quickly and swinging the weapon horizontally with great force, the large blade lodging itself within the statue before the shaft had a chance to smash into the beastmaster in front of him. He clapped a hand on the man's shoulder and shook him. "You might want to navigate yourself somewhere else; this cavern's becoming like hell itself," he advised. In essence, he wanted the attention of the thing upon himself, but it was difficult to harvest such a thing in the midst of so many people.

(Nicoro casts Vibration on Hendrix 20/30 MP)
(Taroh takes 2 wound damage 5/15 HP)
(2 turns of wound left)


Nicoro shook the chest with all his might but it would not open, he noticed he felt weaker. Taroh must be in danger somehow. Taroh are you ok? The spirit asked worriedly. FUCK THIS I WANT TO GO HOME was the less than heroic response. Nicoro could tell instantly his dear friend was in danger. There was a way however, if Taroh could use his special ability to remove himself from existence for a period of time, they wouldn't have to deal with problems for a short spell; however, Taroh may die before a chance arises. Nicoro turned to his ally who was also opening a chest. "I might need to go soon. Here, this will help get the job done" and with that The weapons expert started to vibrate rapidly, allowing for faster movement.

In this distance, Taroh rolled on the ground crying and begging Kaya to heal him. Taroh felt there were probably going to be more scenarios like this in the future. A lot more.

Hiiro had completely spaced out for just a few seconds, but that left enough time for the battle to completely change. Seeing that the Earth Guardian had moved, he ran closer to the construct, and as he did, a massive anger filled him. The adrenaline created from this filled his veins, making him able to use more of his power unhindered, but for the cost of a thoughtful defense. He glared at the Earth Guardian, ready to truly destroy it.

 

Consciousness was slipping away. Whatever had hit here, it hit her hard. She grasped her throbbing head as she backed up, trying to clear up her mind. Kirin shook her head a few times and tried to focus. It was hard, but the shapes slowly solidified. She couldn't work in this state...

{Kaya moves to F1 [G2 - F2 - F1]}
{Kaya uses Rain of Faith on Taroh (I1)! 5 INT Healing!}
<MP: 9/35>

Kaya threw her hands over her eyes as she attempted to shield herself from the deadly shrapnel that was sent flying from the attack lead by the construct of rock, having been knocked viciously from her feet seconds earlier. She grunted in pain as she heard the high-pitched voice of Taroh shrieking throughout the air, begging her to heal him. As the dust settled, Kaya saw the golem standing triumphantly and impassively over top of her, painted as an almost human figure with nothing but malice upon its face by the dim Earth Mana crystals…

The rage and hatred inside of her seethed. She knew it was ill-advised to continue the assault on the relentless guardians of the cavern, but Kaya Escala was not one to back down from a fight. “Hurry up with those chests! We need to get going, fast!” she called out to her allies, who she could not see past the stone constructs from her position on the ground. To Taroh, she continued where she left off in a low growl, “As for you, kiddo, just be thankful you’re alive…” upon the last word, the glowing strings of Light Mana drifted towards the tangible host of Nicoro’s spirit, finding his injuries and easing his pain…

She grimaced as she rose to her feet; eyes screwed shut and face contorted with pain as she attempted to feebly walk and slump against the wall beside the corpse. She would not die here; she was absolutely determined of this fact. In passing, she thought to herself, How can these people fight so well, but be outwitted by brainless clumps of dirt?!

 

Hendrix swore under his breath as the chest didn't open for him or Nicoro. He looked back at his group who was getting attacked by the guardians and saw that the Rock Guardian was destroying one of the supports for the room. "Crap now they are destroying the supports!" He screamed as the person known as Taroh was enjoyed from the force.

The weapons expert looked at his ally as he began to cast a spell on him. Nicoro's spell made Hendrix begin to vibrate and he began to feel a little faster than usual. He quickly opened the chest in front of him and grabbed the treasure inside. Right after, he charged at the other chest near him and began to weaken it. "Thanks for the extra boost Nicoro."

Krie moves to F5.

Krie cursed as the earth shook beneath his feet. He plunged the butt of his scythe into the ground with great force to steady himself. "Grah, it just had to run away again, eh?!" he shouted defiantly, brushing off sand from his clothes from the statue's attack. The thrill of the chase. It was one he enjoyed, so it wasn't much of a problem. With a grin on his face, he dashed after it, stopping right next to Hiiro, bringing his scythe up and slamming it down into the statue, the blade somewhat scathing the rock. "We've got to stop meeting up like this," he whispered in Hiiro's ear and laughed before yanking back his scythe and inspecting the blade. The weapon itself wasn't meant for such hard labor as to rip apart stone. It seemed to be all right for the moment, so he calmed himself down a bit...in the aspect of worrying for his weapon. The heat of battle could still be felt within him, and his veins coursed with adrenaline. He missed rending flesh with his blade, and seeing the blood splatter as his reward--proof that his efforts came to fruition. But this wasn't too bad.

Krie attacks Tierra! 6 Dmg! (ATK)

 

Hiiro, in his anger he took upon himself so as to increase his use of strength, almost did not even notice the shaking earth. Even as rocks came up from the Rock Guardian's hammering strike, hitting him extremely hard on the side, he continued his efforts, seeming to hardly notice the pain. Nothing could stop him from defeating the constructs now, until the dust surrounding him completely locked up his body.

A blade came down from behind him, striking the Earth Guardian. The Slayer that had thrown the strike said something to Hiiro, but the Karateka ignored it, nodding in seeming agreement. Giving a harsh yell, he jumped and punched the Earth Guardian as hard as he could, not taking into consideration the pain that would most likely follow.

(Taroh used spoiled brat)
(Taroh&Nicoro are removed from the battle for 3 turns)

As he was shaken by the waves, Taroh became filled with rage. He no longer wanted to be on this mission, he no longer wanted to steal the treasure, he no longer wanted to be here. And so, he stoped. With a loud poping sound his being was cleanly removed from existence. For a short time of course. With no one to cast a body for him, Nicoro faded away. The orb that contained his soul was taken with Taroh anyway. In his place, Taroh left a somewhat large sign on the ground: "Be back in around five minutes -Love Taroh"

 

After opening the treasure chest and obtained the treasure, Hendrix looked over to see Nicoro, but he vanished. He looked around for a moment and then had a small guess to what happened. "Great, now that he's gone I have to open that chest too." He sighed as he opened the chest in front of him and quickly grabbed the treasure. "At least he casted that hastening spell on me before he 'left'."

Hendrix walked over to the last treasure chest and opened it, revealing the treasures inside. After grabbing the treasures, he turned around to look at the rest of the group. Because of the chests, he never realized that everyone else was in danger. One of his allies have fallen from the Rock Guardian and the rest are getting weaker as well. "Guys I have all the treasure!" Hendrix screamed at his allies to inform them. "Escape now, I'll be right behind you guys!"

{Kaya activates Trigger Command: Destroy It! on Rubble Pile (F2)!}
{Kaya waits...}

Unexpectedly, a giant tremor had shaken the entirety of the cavern, sending clumps of sand previously left untouched flying in solidified harmony, buffeting the party with its waves of raw power. When she was able, Kaya looked to see the incredibly damaged guardian of earth - the one she had previously been ignoring - at the epicenter of the blast. Dammit… we aren’t going to last much longer. she thought to herself, preparing to move over top of the rubble left by the assault…

...Only to find that she was unable to move her limbs at normal speed. It seemed as though the world was moving normally, though she was powerless to move at the same speed or with the same ease that the rest of the world flowed in. Enraged, she moved her staff and smacked downwards on the rubble in front of her, attempting to cause it to disperse back to its state as a part of the ground…
