Czeslaw moves to G5.

Czeslaw casts Righteous Hymnal on Valincar!

Valincar's Intellect increases by 50%!

Valincar gains Haste!

MP: 38/70

Gently raising his kris from the soil with his right thumb and pointer finger, Czeslaw clumsily shuffled toward Valincar. His visage showing immense lethargy, he allowed the kris to fall back into the soil. He gazed down at the knife, beginning to mutter another soft chant. "Bolster your mind with the mystical wisdom of many, Righteous Hymnal."

A cyan glow of mana encircled the kris; an unbent streak of energy then shot out of the circle's edge, arriving at Valincar's base. With a quick flurry of white sparks, Valincar's mind instantly sharpened. Czeslaw removed his kris from the ground once more, loosely holding its grip with his left hand.

The Battle Glyphographer had underestimated the Ombre Skillblade's ability to keep fighting despite of her sealing his limbs. He grunted in pain as he was slashed by the material glyphs, but smirked as he, channeling his Mana through his weapons, caused their blades to glow and enlarge before slashing viciously at her once again. Scarlet tinted the blades, and was soon dispersed as a powerful kick sent Julia tumbling back.

More columns of light descended down upon the party from the glyph in the sky. The toll of their attacks was visible on the woman's battered body, yet she stood. Tall. Proud. She would not fall. "Close your eyes...all you see are lies." She drew two glyphs in the air that looked like eyes and slashed through them quickly. Shadow found himself unable to see as a result along with a stinging sensation in his eyes that refused to dissipate. Not stopping there, she drew a simple circle in the air in front of her with a line down the middle. She placed both index fingers of each hand at the middle of the line and began pulling it apart quickly. As a result, a laser of pure darkness fired from the circle, blasting Rosetta and Shadow.

MP: 10/70

Still amazed by the woman's strength, Valincar hovered in place. Her battling skills were less like skills aimed to kill and more like pieces of art. It fell upon him that he still had no idea why they were battling this woman; she didn't seem evil as one would expect it. He really wanted to ask her about her abilities, but now was not the time. He raised a hand into the air and brought it down causing random furniture to crash into the woman from all sides. Bringing his arm out to the side quickly, he summoned more furniture utilizing the boon Czeslaw bestowed upon him.

Valincar waits.

Marching forward, the rock knight crushed some flowers in order to get into a better position to assault the woman. At that point, the creature slid across the ground and kicked the woman upwards into the air, sliding back to watch her fall to the ground.

Lily frowned as her eyesight returned to normal, zooming out and regaining her peripheral vision, allowing her to take notice of the two wildflowers that were close by. She smiled, glad to see such colors surrounding her, and opted to watch them for a little while, placing the next arrow she grabbed out of reflex away. The others seemed to be dominating the girl fairly well, but something seemed a bit off.

Lily raised her hands out in front of her, using her very strange abilities to call forth a small mist that began to spread out and seemingly fade from existence. The mist was barely visible as it touched herself and her allies. "Alleviate injuries of the past," Lily spoke softly, smiling brightly. "My mana is strange to be able to do this, but a huntress must always have a way to heal herself, right?"

She felt the wind behind her heels fading away, the magic that had quickened her movements had worn off. It was a slight pain to have to renew the spell every once in a while, but it couldn't be helped. She closed her eyes and focused on the wind around the area. Exerting a slight bit of mana Zero focused the wind to behind her back, again dramatically raising her speed.

Czeslaw casts Sheath of Penance on Zero.

MP: 22/70

Continuing with his menial, frail wanderings and blessings, Czeslaw approached the leftmost side of Valincar and focused his disinterested gaze, which appeared cold and impartial, as well as gray and as cold as the northern seas, on Zero. His blade gently sinking into the soil, Czeslaw animated a chilling pattern of mana, which lethargically slithered its way to the base of Zero's person.

With a sudden burst of energy, the mana erupted into a fine, golden color and imbued Zero's blades with a holy and revitalizing energy. Uplifting his blade from the earth, Czeslaw closed his eyes momentarily, his balance beginning to waver slightly.

by Shadow Tue Dec 06, 2011 3:48 pm

Despite his inability to see, the Ombre Skillblade continued his assault on Julia. His body Mana had reached its limit--and continuing to use it would be deplorable. And so Shadow threw his bladed weapons, which criss-crossed as they miraculously evaded the Elemental Striker in front of him, and hopefully slashed at the glyph-wielding woman.

The woman stayed calm despite all the attacks that were thrown at her. Barrage after barrage they had sent and yet she still remained standing as if nothing had hit her. Inside, however, she knew that she couldn't hold out for much longer. Her limits were nearly reached. "I knew it," she said peacefully to herself with a soft smile before stepping forth only to dodge around Shadow quickly. She slammed her hands into his chest in a multitude of places, glyphs appearing at the points of contact that exploded for increased damage. She then slashed through each of Shadow's limbs as she had done before. Taking a deep breath, she proceeded to unleash an even more furious barrage of blows upon Shadow. He would be able to see the determination in her eyes before her open palm slammed into his chest to push him back.

Seeing that he was far enough away, she turned and faced the ghost that was sending flying furniture at him. She nodded her head to him and drew a little butterfly in the air, a rather ornate glyph that she brough to life. It flew over to Valincar and burst into a giant swarm of butterflies, circling around him and draining whatever force which allowed him to sustain his form.

Fear. It wasn't something he felt often, but he couldn't help but fall prey to the shivering shackles that gripped him now. This woman with the gentle smile on her face decimated Shadow in a fierce flurry of blows that would leave anyone on the ground out cold which is exactly how Shadow had wound up. She had turned to face him, seeing her nod. He thought everything would be okay, but the second she drew the glyph, he knew he was going to get it. As the butterflies swarmed around him, he had to struggle against the power of her magic, but failed. He felt his life force draining away from him, or at least what he used to remain on this plain of existence. His gaze grew fierce and he held up a hand towards her, contaminating her mana cycle and pulling in remnants from her body towards himself to replenish his own mana reservoir. Twice, he did this, still utilizing Czeslaw's boon, however, he still felt weak by the woman's attack.

Its target fast while it was slow, the Rock Knight trundled over the grasses of the meadow and halted, sliding along the ground to kick the woman upwards again and slid back to see her hit the ground. Would she break soon?

Zero cursed herself for not using her newly mastered technique, it was a much more dangerous attack than what she had been using. But, nothing can be done now except for more. Now she had Czeslaw's blessing and the wind at her back, she could easily take revenge on the woman for taking down one of her allies. The Windwalker dashed forward, her movements swift as if she was striding upon the wind itself. Zero only slowed down momentarily when she ran past the woman, although her movements were too quick to be seen it was apparent she had done something for four large cuts were made.

Zero stopped at a fair distance away from the woman and turned around, ready to dash back for another strike.

The trickster stood by, hardly noticing that the paste had been taken from his dripping fingers, only the beautiful display of destruction ahead of him. In a way, he supposed he hated it. A rabbit was only supposed to jump about in a frivolous display, not this . . this violence. But otherwise the glowing glyphs, the giant columns of light, not to mention the speed and grace with which they were delivered were absolutely stunning. So he continued to hold to his original decision and merely watch, not minding the damage he took standing in the sidelines.

Noticing the pastes reacting, Sonia quickly reached into her bag with a free hand. Pulling out a vial, she caught the liquid produced from the two pastes. So they made some sort of potion? At this the summoner bit her lip in frustration. She wasn't very savvy when it came to things like potions and medicines. Putting the vial away, she made a mental note to check out the library later to figure out what it was.

Looking around herself, she realized the others seemed to be having a rather easy time with the woman they were fighting. While she was quite powerful in her own respect, she wasn't a match for them. They had her outnumbered even with some of their party members not doing much anything against the woman. It was when she saw no one particularly in aid, save Shadow, that she decided staying out of it was her best option. She hadn't really fought this fight much to begin with; Best to keep it that way.

Noticing a flower none to far from her, she nodded at it with a smile. Taking samples of the plants used to make the potion would be important. Taking a few steps over to it, she reached down for the pretty herb and pulled it free from the ground.

"Oh no, Shadow was beaten up," Lily frowned, her voice surprisingly monotone. She didn't know much about the guy, even though they've been in the same group for quite a while. Lily didn't really care to get to know him, though she was interested in how headstrong and courageous he was for jumping into the front lines. Of course, Rosetta did the same, and Lily adored the woman for that. But Lily knew she was just as strong as either of them, just in a different way.

Cunning and agile, like a fox, that was how Lily saw herself. Not really on the front lines, but definitely a great asset to the party. Grinning, Lily cocked an arrow and aimed it at the strange girl they were fighting. It appeared that the fight would soon be over shortly, and Lily wanted to avoid any more knock-outs. Quickly firing the arrow so that it caught the wind and changed course, Lily locked on with another arrow and fired, this time having the arrowhead dig into the strange, dancing, butterfly-summoning woman.

There was that strange tick again. Though he wasn't paying attention - any attention at all, really - to neither his surroundings nor his own health and mana pool, he felt an odd, compelling sensation to heal his strange, trickster of an ally anyway. Through his hazy view and his skewed senses, he managed to discern who needed which blessing, to what degree, and when they needed it quite simply. It was whoever glowed the brightest shade of red. That was it. Amidst the tan and colorful shades of clothing and skin, and the verdant flora's blurs, he searched for that unsettling red hue.

However, despite his nonchalant senses and his unreasonably composed - yet clearly dazed and confused - exterior, he felt an unsettling rumbling come from within the deepest corners of his stomach. He felt unsafe and insecure. That damned scientist. What the hell could he have done to me? Surely it must have been an experiment gone wrong.

She was still unfazed. The battle had continued on, and yet she appeared completely unaffected by their efforts. Blazing columns of light struck down on those she was fighting as she had before. "I see it. It's unbelievable!" she exclaimed, a fierce, yet joyous gleam in her eyes. "You're...even more than I imagined. It goes to show that stories aren't always just...stories." She placed a finger to her lips and kissed it, moving her hand out gracefully to draw several diamonds in the air. "But you still have a bit more to prove to me," she whispered to herself inaudibly before snapping her fingers. The diamonds she drew in the air glowed a bright blue and in an instant, the temperature in the area dropped. An ethereal ice glazed over the remaining wildflowers and they shattered, their ice dust carried away with the wind. The cold ravaged the party, nothing less.

The woman giggled. "I must say...you don't look better on ice," she remarked openly as if the battle were some sort of joke. She wasn't finished, that was for sure. Her finger traced curvy lines in the air whimsically and when she swiped a hand over them, a violent wind burst through the area, slamming into both frozen and unfrozen enemies alike.

Valincar is Frozen!

The cold. It swept through like a storm. Relentless. Who could have thought that a couple of beautiful diamond glyphs drawn in the air could lead to this. Even his form was forced into a solidified state and he felt himself crash to the ground, completely unable to move or faze out of the ice. It was just too cold. He wanted to give a command to his Rock Knight, but it would have to act for itself until he was freed from his frigid prison.

Rock Knight moves to C7.

The Rock Knight trembled a bit as it watched its master fall to the ground. Stomping forward, he lunged at the woman that had caused them all so much trouble and slashed at her with its earthen blade.

Annon moves to E-5.

Annon uses Anti-Hallucinogen on Czeslaw! How ironic!

The trickster sucked in a raspy breath, falling to his knees at the sudden and sheer cold. The freeze was so quick, he could swear he heard a bone snap. His lungs heaved in and out, as if making sure they were still in working order. Shivering now, he stood and pulled his coat tighter about himself, muttering, "Wrong Wonderland, Alice." He glanced at his allies and found some to be frozen, one fallen with grievous wounds, and others gazing vacantly about.

He touched one hand to his head as it swam. "The blue . . too blue . . . not good. Annon smiled to himself. He could fix this. He could! The trickster urged his numb legs forward, closer to the apathetic priest. He grabbed an anti-hallucinogenic from his stashed inventory (don't we all have those?) and proceeded to use it on Czeslaw, standing very close. Though whether or not it was to preserve body heat had yet to be interpreted.

As the priest's eyes cleared, at least as clear as they were before, Annon patted the smaller man's head and smiled. "There. No more mice between your elephants. Now," He plopped heavily on the ground, breathing raggedly from the insidious cold. "Go be blue enough."

Czeslaw moves to G6.

Czeslaw uses Remedy on Sonia! Sonia is cured of Freeze!

Amidst the chaos unfolding around his disoriented body, Czeslaw spotted a colorful blur in his scope of vision. A very eccentric, tricky blur that just so happened to ameliorate his disorientation with great haste. As his sight cleared, albeit minimally, Czeslaw thanked the trickster with a quick nod and stumbled toward Sonia, scuffling through her frost-coated belongings, removing an odd medical material from her person and proceeding to apply it to her frozen skin.

"My apologies for stealing, though I figured it was necessary in such a dire situation." Czeslaw confessed, though apathetically and unconvincingly, "I believe you have grown into a stronger cleric than I, so I place my faith in you so that you may cleanse our wounds and bring us to victory as quickly as possible."

Sonia's eyes widened as the diamonds created by the strange woman suddenly released a large surge of icy energy. After that very moment, she felt nothing but the all too familiar cold. Though it had been a long time since she was last frozen, she still remembered the feeling. Unable to move, unable to feel, helpless in a thick shell of icy entrapment. She figured it was the end then, the woman had probably frozen the entire party...

But it was not the end, for Annon had freed Czeslaw of his confusion and in turn the rather baked priest had moved over to her. She couldn't feel him reaching into her bag, but she could sense his presence, and it was overall relief when the last remedy was used on her. Shaking immediately, she could all but nod at the priest, understanding what he meant.

"Thank you."

With that, the summoner turned, looking over the other frozen targets. Of the two of them, Sonia realized that Zero would be the better choice. She was rather skilled with finishing blows, as the summoner had observed in the past. Raising her staff, she began to focus on the icy grasp which held the Windwalker prisoner. In seconds a fluid surge of multicolored lights swirled around her and the ice and cold disappeared. It was as if she had never been frozen.

"Zero, finish her!"

Sonia casts Aurora Remedy on Zero! All of Zero's Negative Status Conditions are healed!

With that said and done, Sonia nodded over to her familiar and began to walk away. She didn't wish to get caught in the woman's retaliation if she lived.

"You don't need to tell me that Sonia."

Zero moves to cell C-9

The woman had taken quite a lot of hits now, surely she had suffered enough injuries for her to deliver a finishing blow. After nodding to the summoner as thanks for freeing her from the icy imprisonment, Zero narrowed her eyes at the woman. She took off in a quick dash, running behind the woman and taking her dagger to aim for a precise strike at her neck.

"...die..." Zero whispered in the woman's ear.

She immediately stood still, her eyes closed as the area became darkened by some mysterious force. Within seconds no one could see anything farther than a few inches in front of them. Then the sound of cutting flesh, and blood splattering out was heard, and not even a minute after the darkness, light returned. The woman had a a multitude of large cuts on her arms, legs, gut, and neck while Zero was still standing in the same exact spot she had been, licking blood off her dagger.

It was unbelievable. Valincar was finally able to have his fluid, translucent form once more as the cold from the woman's attack dissipated. But what had happened to it? He gazed at her; it looked as though she was unfazed by their attacks as she had been all along, but something was off. She grinned suddenly and spread her arms out as if to embrace the sky...only to fall backwards and hit the ground hard with a thud. The area was very still and silent except for the breeze, its gentle warmth welcoming to those who had been frozen solid by the woman's strange, yet elegant magic. An ethereal peace seemed to permeate the area. Valincar sighed and began to hover closer to their fallen enemy only to be startled.

"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!" The laugh cracked whatever tranquility had come to rest on the meadow. It was the woman. Her hands were on her stomach, her eyes shut. The laughter did not cease until she was wheezing for breath. She turned her head to see Valincar rushing towards her, sword at the ready. "And what do you think you're going to do with that, Mr. Ghost?"

"W-well, I...er, was going to..." Valincar stuttered in surprise. Even after the thrashing they had dealt to her, she was still so full of energy.

"Finish me off, right? Sheesh. I thought Luz Cascata wasn't that kind of guild, especially this little group here," she said, holding out her hand towards Valincar. "Are you going to help me up or not, Mr. Ghost?" she asked with a gentle smile. Her countenance went back to being a bit more reserved as it had during the battle. She took ahold of Valincar's manifested hand and stood up with his aid, brushing herself off. Surprisingly, the glyph trapping the group within was still active, but as she waved her hand through the air, the thing disappeared. "My apologies for that embarassing outburst. I try to consider myself the most reserved out of me and my sisters because they're a little...well...off their rockers, so to speak. But sometimes you just have to let it out, you know?" She looked at the others. They really didn't seem all too thrilled like she was.

"Ummm....." Valincar was still a bit speechless. What was going on? That was a good place to start. Maybe. "Who are you, exactly?" he questioned. It was obvious she hadn't meant to kill any of them, despite poor Shadow being brutalized by her vicious combination attacks.

"Julia Reschelle, at your service," she said and bowed her head. "My apologies for attacking you all so suddenly, but...I had to make sure..."

by Zerifachias Tue Dec 27, 2011 10:35 am

Lily shivered, the cold slowly lessening as her blood warmed her body. Being frozen like that was not one of Lily's favorite things in the world, that was for sure. Seeing Valincar approach the strange woman, Lily took off the string on her bow and put it away, into the quiver on her back. There wasn't any need for it at the moment, she didn't see any beasts around them, nor did the woman, though standing, didn't seem like much of a threat.

Her bow away, Lily began to jog over to where the others were. She had stayed back, which helped her avoid direct confrontation, but catching up to the others took awhile, she had just arrived when the woman introduced herself.

"I thought something was wrong here," Lily mentioned, "I didn't feel any sort of motivation to kill from you at all." Lily shot a glance over to Valincar, then returned it to Julia and introduced herself, "My name's Lily, and I have a question for you that I'm sure everyone wants to know the answer to. What did you want to make sure of? What horrible thing is going on that you would need to test our abilities before asking for help? Because the way you worded it, it sounds like you need help."

by **Masquerade** Tue Dec 27, 2011 11:08 am

"I had to make sure you were what everyone claimed you to be," Julia said, her smile never fading, so serene. "You're a bit famous, you know. I've heard a lot of things about Luz Cascata. I know it's one of the largest and most active guilds in this entire nation, but your group in particular has accomplished quite a few impressive feats. And when I heard you were heading to Cadencia, I knew I had to stop you and find out for myself." She paused and looked from Lily to Valincar, and then back to Lily.

"I should explain myself. I come from a small town called Maldicao, right down that path," she said, pointing towards the east path leading towards the coast, though in the distance, a large forest could be seen. "A vicious plague in the form of an incurable virus has besieged our forest and is managing to take over the town as well. We call the virus Malvine. Upon infection, the victim is weakened to the point where it can barely take care of itself. Over time, the weakness only increases until eventually, the victim can't even move and just rots away in place. We try to salvage infected villagers, but their mentality is shaken and they try to infect others. Many tend to wander the forest after being infected, but no one knows why. We have surmised that the source of this virus lies within." Her eyes fell. The conclusion of what she wanted from them was obvious.

by **Silver** Tue Dec 27, 2011 11:17 am

Sonia sighed in relief as the woman stopped attacking the group, eventually revealing her rather strange manner. Attacking them as a test of their strength? To see if they could help with some sort of request... Whatever it was, the summoner didn't quite care at the moment. She hadn't done much in the previous fight, and had other matters at hand which were more important. Starting with their fallen ally, the summoner moved over to his body and quickly casted a healing spell.

"W... wake up."

As soon as she noticed him coming to, she smiled slightly, and with a nod moved away from him. Towards the Trickster, who she could swear she felt power surging. Not just power, but excess mana. The way she and her allies had been awhile back in the soul laboratory. If it was anything like her experience, it only meant he would be of more help during the upcoming challenges.

Pushing that thought away, she reached him and another small smile flashed on her face. Before either said anything, she reached into her bag intending to grab the potion she had made. Instead, she was met with quite the curiosity, yes the potion was there, but so was a hat. One in better condition than Annon's current one. Pulling the hat out first, she held it rather tightly.

"Annon, would you prefer... this hat?"

by Zerifachias Tue Dec 27, 2011 11:20 am

"And you want our help to find out the source of the virus and save your village," Lily concluded, crossing her arms over her chest. She looked at Valincar, "I've read in books about contagions that spread with no end to infect entire towns and villages until everything is dead, with no way to cure it. But it would be more accurate to call it a curse rather than a disease or a virus. If left unattended, it could seriously impact the surrounding villages, and over time grow in power until the entire continent is engulfed." Lily frowned, wondering what Valincar could possibly be thinking. If she was right about him, he wouldn't want to let this curse go unattended.

"I for one want to help," Lily volunteered, looking back at Julia. "The sooner we kill or seal the source of this curse, the better."
