| (This is a continuation of https://boards.dangeru.us/cyb/thread/172863 )
(brief recap:living statues i asked yall to roll,i got 19 aria got 2)


| (Is this the one we'll be using?)


| (soo continuing from that...)


| (Why are there 3)


| >>173664
(last one reached 250.)


| (Why are there 3 part 3's)


| (Lag?)


| >>173672 (Probably.)


| >>173673
(yup) lets continue)


| >>173671
(Usually happens in /u/ when network in unstable.)


| >>173677
(yes ok)I SHED LES CONTINU)


| "Again! Who are you guys?"


| >>173680
The other people i invited to form a party.


| >>173680
"I-I'm Aria. A party member of Nova's."

> It took Aria a while to respond; something must have been in her mind, but she ignored it.


| >>173681
"So you must be that nova dude then?"


| >>173685
Yes.
>nova takes out some bat ear chips.
Want some?
(note that we are doing all this tethered to the roof while statues are trying to kill trapped.)


| >>173690
"Sure!"
"Hi Aria! Want some chips?"


| "I am Golden. Dedicated tank and healer"
>He says with a hint of pride


| >>173690
"NOVA! WE'RE KIND OF IN A MIDST OF SOMETHING!"

> Aria yelled at Nova for his actions, trying to make him focus at the literal walking statues at hand.


| >>173694
"hmmm. I have to ideas to handle this."


| >>173693
"A tank huh? Sounds boring!"


| >>173694
Yeah i know.
(someone roll d20)


| >>173698 (1)


| "Seeing as they likely won't attack me and interrupt my channeling. I can come down and convert the ground below into mud. Likely sinking the statues. And myself Included! hah hah"
"...Or we could stay up here and take potshots yes"


| >>173692
"I have rejected it once and I'm not going for it now."

> She still looks at the bat chips negatively.

>>173696
"Since we have an extra hand here, why not attempt my plan again?"

> Aria suggests the same plan: charge, then cover Trapped.


| (19)


| >>173703
"If that means I could kill, yes!"


| >>173698
(12. What is this for?)


| (rollllllllllnsodblslslslcjlx)
(i got 19 scope got 1)


| (9)


| "well since we're already up here. These two gents can likely simply take potshots"
>Golden looks down at trapped again
"How is it in there?"


| >>173700
"Hmm. Perhaps such widespreading attack might be better than us dealing with them directly. They only want Trapped, yes?"


| >nova and aria notices something in the middle of one the of the statues.it looks like anoter teleporter battery.


| >>173714
"That doesn't sound fun!"


| >>173715
"—Okay, we have a good reason to rain fury against them from here now."

> Aria points at the teleporter battery.


| >>173715
Hey look at that one,aria you see it?looks familiar...


| Scope think you can drop that one?
>nova points to the statue holding the battery.


| >>173725
"Of course I can!"
>He quickly unloads his magazine into the statue and reloads.


| >>173731
>The statue dies
>at its death 11 more statues flood the room
(this is that *event* i was mentioning)
Goodthing we are up here
>nova says in relief then eats some more bat ear chips.


| >>173737
"Should I try killing some more?"


| "aha hah hah"
>Totally not an abusable xp farm


| "This is not going so very well."

> Aria sighs, seeing the situation has turned from bad to worse in a mere minute.


| >nova offers aria some comfort bat chips


| "will someone take the young lady from me for a bit?"


| >Scope does [Killing a Lot of Shit]
(4)
>He only hits the arm of one of the statues.


| >>173749
I got her.
>nova then tethers trapped.


| "Your plan would have worked Aria. but I can't fit more than one person in here"
>Golden talks about the weird spot he placed trapped is trapped in


| "God damn! I suck!"


| "Specializing in defense. doesn't only mean defense of armor. But of position and terrain as well"
>Golden lowers down into the crowd. Likely not aggroed from having neither picked up or shot the statues


| >>173755
(lol 20)
>nova then kill 2 statues.


| >>173759
(Do even more spawn?)


| >>173761
(nah)


| >Scope eats a few chips, and they taste amazing!
"Holy shit! That's Amazing!"


| >Golden now stands in the middle of the crowd of statues
"Mmmm yess. I seem to have forgotten what I was about to do"


| >>173766
Told you aria.
>>173767
Really!


| >Golden looks up at the snipers taking potshots
"Ah but the current plan seems to be going
well, Carry on!"


| "Where did you get these? I need to buy some!"


| >>173772
Mini boss drop sadly.
Cmon lets keep shooting.
(17)
>nova then kills another one.


| (5. I hate myself.)
>Scope only hits one statue in the leg, and looks really annoyed.


| >>173777 "Guess I'll be grinding here then!"


| (7. Slowly going up.)
>Scope is being very shitty today, and only hits a leg and an arm, then he eats a chip.


| >>173778
>nova then uses [reapers sting]
(20 hahaha)
>nova then just fhakin wastes all the statues.
>afterwards he lowers the party back down.


| >seeing as there are about a dozen more. Golden crosses his arms and rests. Head tilting back and forth slightly
>{Golden has went AFK}
>(I actually do need to sleep it's 3am)


| Well that worked.
>nova then eats some more bat chips.


| >>173788
>(not gonna retcon. Affected by [Narcolepsy] XD)


| >>173788
(soo continue next time?)


| >>173794
(Yeah. Sleep is important.)


| (If you guys still want to go you can lug around a rigid body XD)


| >>173797
(depends on the others)


| (Sorry for going AFK there. Aria might be taking a bit of break here as well. I have a load of papers to process for today. Let's continue next time.)


| >>173801
(kk meta me on this thread when we are all back.)


| >>173803 (Sounds good.)


|


|


| Hm? Why there is a door opened?

>Shima notices that a door was open, while the others is still closed

Perhaps someone has already gone inside?
>She enters the room

Oh, looks like there is another one that is already opened. And also, there are some footsteps on the floor. No doubt someone is already here.
>She follows the footsteps


| >She then arrives at the room where everyone were inside.

Wha? why there are so many moving statues? What's going on?

(I'll continue when you guys come back.)


| (Oh, and also, my stats are:
>Lvl 52
>3100 HP
(High int and agi, but low hp and def)
Is this acceptable? Since i don't really understand the stats calculation)


| >>174187 (It seems ok. Don't take my word for it though. I'm not the GM.)


| >>174187
(Let's whip up my HP calculator again: `(baseHP/LVL)*LVL` — we're using 625 at 13 for the base HP and level. So, we get a 2500 HP for a build with little focus in HP — the same as Aria's.)


| >>174375
(Okay , i'm fine with that.)


| "HELLO, WE ARE UP HERE!"

> Aria shouted to the unwary Shima, trying to make her notice the party's position.

"NO NEED TO DEAL WITH THE STATUES!"


| >Surprised a little after hearing shout out from nowhere

Wha, really? i was about to cast a spell on them
>Shima cancels the menu

>Shima shouts back
WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING UP THERE?


| (Ooh, wait, retcon! I didn't read the fact that the fight is over, haha. >>173786 said that Nova killed pretty much all of the statues.)


| (Oh, right, i forgot about that ,i'll just pretend that there are no statues and aria shouted from above and things continues)


| >>174395
(fookin ell i overslept again
>morphine)


| >>174187
(its cool)


| >nova then looks to shima
Hello,where is your party?


| >>174401
"N-nova. I don't think she has any party with her."

> Aria, dusting off herself, points out to Nova.

"How about having her join ours? We were almost beaten to shambles by that dragon alone; I don't want to imagine how strong the raid boss is."


| >Shima replies
I was bored and accepted this raid quest out of boredom. I was thinking it might be a good idea to take a rest from grinding


| >>174404
Technically *you* were beaten to shambles,im fine with letting her follow us.


| >>174408
"Hey, don't mention that. I'm the only one faring below the average level of the NPCs around here."

> Aria threw a frown at Nova, feeling the fact that she is still well-below the level of her party members as well.

>>174407
"Let's go together then! I wouldn't want to think how hard the raid would be when on solo."

> Aria extends her hand, this time, a smile was painted in her face.


| >Shima says
Oh, you guys want to invite me? I would be happy to. I didn't get any party because i went to the ruins without thinking. Now i kind of regret my choice


| >Shima reaches Aria's hand and smiles too
Thanks!


| >>174413
Sooo,next room?
>nova gestures to the door
(i assume we already looted the battery.)


| (I'm currently on my way back to home, i'll be afk around 30mins.)


| >>174414
"To the next room we go!"

> Aria excitedly confirms, her voice cheery, and she seems to have lost all her weariness.

>>174415
(Don't worry, we'll hold the fort for you.)


| >>174415
(kk)
>>174416
>the party enters the next room.
>inside there is another BIGGER statue,still depicting a beautiful women.


| >>174420
(Rolled a 17 for Clairvoyance.)
"Before we all do anything ridiculous such as lifting the statue—"

> Aria sarcastically comments before stepping forward; her right eye glows once more, activating her [Clairvoyance] skill towards the statue.


| >>174424
(she can tell its a mini boss,but she cant tell its stats and how it activates.)
Hmm see anything?


| >>174430
"I see myself being beaten to shambles again."

> Aria went for a quip response as she prepares her sword in her left hand.

"—Are you guys ready for yet another mini boss?"


| >>174431
What do you mean?its not doing anything.


| >>174438
"Yet."

> After preparing everything, Aria thinks of a plan to trigger the boss fight — and perhaps even gain a tactical advantage before the fight begins.

"It doesn't take a genius to piece the fact that we're facing another enemy here—.. so, all of you better start preparing—"

(Nova, can I get a general idea on how the room looks like? Its size, layout, and things like that.)


| >>174440
>Perhaps we can try to bring a small statue and destroy it in front of it?


| (oops , my bad , i forgot to remove the symbol -Shima)>>174443


| >>174443
"T-that sounds oddly brutal and inhumane."

> Aria didn't realise her sentence was odd in by itself.

"But you sound right, considering the statues before were aggravated by a player lifting them up, wouldn't this have a similar mechanism?"


| >>174440
(the room is 3 times as tall as the statue pillars in a circular patter forming around the statue (note that it can walk between them)the statue its self is 30 feet and is standing in a giant fountain)


| >>174445
>Shima replies
Hmm.. i don't think it's possible to lift such big statue. Perhaps there are some kind of button or triggers somewhere in the room


| >>174450
>nova just shoots the statue.
>it activates
>great ancient guardian(lvl 35 6500HP)


| >>174450
>nova just shoots the statue.
>it activates
>great ancient guardian(lvl 35 6500HP)


| >>174448
(Hm, gotcha.)

>>174450
"You're correct on that, I was thinking about the same thing — if the statue before were triggered by the lift, then there must be a weight be—"

> Aria was immediately surprised by Nova shooting the statue.

>>174453
"... What did I ever tell you about warning us before doing anything dangerous?!"


| >>174455
>the statue attacks aria because she is the weakest.
>a light starts glowing in its eyes.


| >>174455
Hmm didnt think it would actually work.
>nova cloaks himself.


| "Oh, looks like we overlooked a simple method"

>Shima is casting a buff
"Battle Aura"
>Increase 15


| >>174457
"—Ugh."

> Aria can feel the statue eyeing her, and she has a few guesses in her mind as to why the statue targets her.

".. Everyone, promise me that you all can deal some damage against it."


| "This looks like fun!"
>Scope readies his sniper rifle.
(5)
>He fires two shots aimed at the head, but misses both of them.


| >>174463
(15% of wut?)


| >>174463
(Dammit , accidentally pressed submit)
>Increase 15% Physical damage and 25% Magic damage


| "Fucking hell! I suck!"
>He aims at the statue yet again.
(17)
>He unloads the rest of his magazine into the statue.


| (I got me a nice 14 for 'be the aggro'.)

> Before the statue was able to attack her, Aria has already bolted, running across the room, trying to have its attention carried only to her.

"HEY, I'M OVER HERE!"

> She loudly yelled to the statue, trying to aggravate it.


| >>174472
(6205/6500)


| >>174473
>from the statues eyes a beam emerges aimed at aria.
>nova grapples to a pillar *again*


| "Here we go"
>Casting a spell
"Plasma Ray!"
>Fires a laser to the statue (16)
>The laser succesfully hit the statue on the body


| >>174477
(15, roll, Aria, roll!)
> As the statue is being attacked by her teammates *and* is attacking Aria, it seems that the aggravation tactic was successful—

> —Of course, that is until it shoots out a beam in a pinpoint accuracy.

"—Augh!"

> On the very last second, Aria dodges the beam — leaving her a chance to yet anticipate another attack.


| >>174478
(6000/6500)
>>174482
(pls roll for statue aggro)
(i got 14)


| >>174484
(20. OH WHY.)


| >>174485
(Oh, IP changed. This is Aria, by the way.)


| (I got 20 here)
"I'll help you!"
>Cast a buff on self
"Battle stance"
>Physical attack will also deal magic dmg

"HEY, YOU! FACE ME!"
>Yells at the statue


| >the statue attacks nova with another beam.
(19)
>nova doges.


| >nova then starts attack on titan style fighting the statue.
(duh duh duh something duh JHEGAR)


| >>174502 (DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH, DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH DUH!!!)


| >Shima attempts to hit the statue by whacking it with the staff
>She dashes toward the statue
(1, oh why)
>She tripped down to the floor


| >>174499
(Doges, hehe. Nova spawned a buncha doges. Also, an 8 for the false attack.)

"Agh, this won't do!"

> Aria starts dashing towards the statue's legs — or anything resembling legs — then drags her sword across said legs. Sparks coming from the contact of her sword and the statue's hard surface can be seen as she goes past the legs in seconds.

"—Nova!"

> She could only say that when seeing Nova fly across the room, attempting an attack.


| >>174504
"Hey, are you okay there, Shima?!"

> Aria goes near Shima, checking her to make sure she is fine.


| >Scope reloads, and tries using [Sponge buff](2)
>Scope squeezes a sponge in his left hand, and gets an electric shock.
"FUCK ME!!!"
>Scope is now down to 10HP.


| "Could I get some healing? I'm out of potions!"


| >nova then starts trying to aim a shot at the statue.


| >>174507
"WHY IS EVERYONE FAILING COLLATERALLY NOW?!"

> Aria spots Scope across the room, seeing him fail in whatever skill or spell he tried to use.


| >>174508
(Rolls)
(11 fhak).
>nova then throws a healing potion at scope.
>it lands near him.


| >>174510
>nova starts panic screaming.
WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.


| "Ouch..kissing the floor doesn't feel nice at all"
>2400/2500

>Replies to Aria
"Yup, i'm fine, Dont worry."

>Approaches scope

"Oh, hello there, lemme heal you"
>Casting a healing spell on Scope


| (17)
>after circling the statue a few times nova shoots.
>it lands on its boob.
>aria kinda cringes at the sight of a fellow womens tits getting shot.
>(5809/6500)


| >Shima attempts to do another attack

"Summon Magicballs"
>Three magicballs appear, and then she charge the balls

"Hope this doesn't go wrong"


| >>174514
"Fuck! Thank you! I needed that!"


| >the statue attcks shima with another beam.
>nova recloaks


| >Now healed, Scope stands up. He quickly puts away the sponge, and aims at the statue.
(8)
>He fires four bullets, one hitting the statues torso.


| >Golden is {AFK{


| > Aria needed a replanning, her sword wouldn't do much physical damage against the statue — its hard exterior is too much to pierce.

"Guys, I might be running out of options."

> She scrolls and scrolls, the skills she has learnt was only effective against those with flesh.

"C-can any of you throw me up there?!"

> She points to the neck of the statue, clearly having another plan in mind.


| "Looks like it's completely charged now"
>Shima shoots a laser beam from the 3 magic balls

"Triple Laser Beam!"
>Beam 1
(5), Completely misses the target
>Beam 2
(19), Succesfully landed a hit on the chest of the statue
>Beam 3
(3), completely misses the target

"Gah , at least i was able to land a hit"


| "Nope! I might be fucking amazing, but I'm not strong enough for that! That afk dude looks like he could do it though! Too bad he's afk!"


| >>174521
(5750/6500)
(note nova is still doing the akerman)


| >>174527
(5500/6500)


| >Golden wakes up feeling fresh
"Ah. Now I remember what I was going to do"
>He lumbers on over to the next room. Getting on one knee and placing his hands on the ground.
>Slowly, very slowly, the ground starts softening into mud


| >>174526
"If only i can cast my "Battle Stance" buff on you, you might be able to deal more damage. Maybe try to ask nova to lift you?"
(i'm shima , ip changed)


| >>174534
> Aria sees Golden transforming the battlefield — to mud. To an element she likes not thanks to her usual speed in concrete floors.

"O-okay, more reason to go up."

>>174535
> It clicks in her; the magic Nova has been using is effective for this. Aria gave Shima a thumbs up and then yells at Nova.

"NOVA, LIFT ME UP AND FLING ME AWAY TO THAT STATUE!"


| (i need to do something in the moment, i'll go afk .. probably for around 1 hour. -Shima)


| >slowly, very slowly, eventually, the Giant statue should start sinking. Eventually Golden thinks


| >>174526 >>174535
I got it!
>nova then cast [ether thethers] on aria
>she is now attack on titaning the statue as well.
>nova lines up another shot.


| (didn't hear the throw plan. Was asleep)


| >>174544 (I know.)


| >>174544 (I know.)


| >>174544
(note that golden has a afk trapped hoisted over her shoulder like luggage.)


| >>174540
> With her whole body lifted up, and is tethering to the statue now, Aria had to readjust herself and her position.

"THIS THING HASN'T BEEN ATTACKING ANY OF US HUH?!"

> Aria tries to jinx the situation, but it seems that it was her plan.


| >>174556
>istead of attacking the statue takes out and blows a warhorn.
>3 of the other smaller statues in the room come to life.
>ancient protector (lvl 20 2000HP)
>it then tries to attack aria with another beam.


| "I guess a close combat is a bad idea for the moment. And also that thing is summoning some mobs, that's annoying."
>Shima begin to cast a spell from afar

"I wonder what happens if i shoot a big laser beam?
>She charges the spell


| >>174558
(6 for the dodge, 16 for the counterattack. Good enough to work with.)

> At long last, Aria saw the attack she anticipated — the eye beam attack — and it was practically the only attack.

> Instead of dodging, she charges straight at the beam; it burnt and charred parts of her armour, and injured her with [Burn] debuff.

> Her HP drops to a lowly 450, and it goes down steadily from the Burn.


| > She insist on counterattacking the statue — her path was still the same as when the statue shot her — she is targeting for the head of the statue!

> [Momentum Burst] was activated! She zooms to the statue — an extremely loud boom was heard by the entirety of the room.

> Instead of attacking using the blade, she charges straight at the forehead with the pommel of her sword!

> Another boom. This time caused by the strong blow by the pommel to the head of the statue.


| "Is there anyone over there? i can't really see because it's too bright"
>The spell charging is complete, but she paused the cast


| >>174574
>(5000/6500)
>nova has to mainatain arias tether.


| >The ground has now thoroughly become mud. Heavy things get bogged down and sink


| "HAH HAH HAH HAH"
>Golden stands posing with his hands on his hips as he slowly sinks down as well


| "Everyone, please get away from my direction, i can't hold this any longer
>still pausing the spell cast


| >>174580
(2 for aftermath. Welp.)
> Clouds of dust flies around the point where Aria's attack had landed, and from there, Aria can be seen with her sword stuck still to the forehead of the statue; it cracked a good part of the statue's head, but it wasn't enough.

"Curses—.."

> She realizes her sword is stuck firmly to the forehead of the statue.

>>174579
"SHIMA! AIM FOR THE HEAD! THE STATUE CAN BARELY MOVE!"

> She yells at Shima, seeing the mud is sinking the statue.


| >the statue looks like its breathing in for something.


| >>174587
"I WILL TRY!"
>She slowly adjusting her aim

"Please, make this go right"
>She then release a powerful magic beam
"PLASMA CANNON!"
(14)
>The beam successfully hit the statue on the body, almost to the chin of the statue


| >>174591
(And a 1 for recovering the sword. Man, this is bad.)

"GOOD JOB, SHIMA!"

> Aria kept trying on to pull her sword out of the forehead of the statue, but alas, it was immobile; her strength isn't enough to take it out.

"Ugh—.. NOVA, SCOPE, AIM A CHARGED SHOT TO THE SWORD HERE!"

> She points at her now-planted sword, hoping that the sniper shot can push it further and break the statue's head in the process.


| (then a bad roll comes and the sword breaks)


| (Hope for the best lol)


| "I'll try!"
(16! Fuck yeah!)
>Scope gets a perfect hit with his charge shot, pushing the sword deeper into the statues head.


| >(4000/6500)
Everyone clear out!
>nova screams


| >TRAPPPED returns
"Wait i'm still alive? that's new"


| >(4000/6500)
Everyone clear out!
>nova screams


| >>174612
("Riding on golden's shoulders like baggage" quote)


| >>174612
"Welcome back! You should probably get off that big dudes back before you drown!"


| >Golden has now sunk up to his waist


| (Strange double AFKing if you imagine them both just freezing with the loli on the tower's shoulders)


| >Trapped forces her way out of golden's grip
"So, that's the big lug we gotta take out then?"


| >Scope takes out his sponge, and squeezes it, using [Safe Footing]
(5)
A wooden plank that somehow doesn't sink in the mud, appears under Scopes feet.
(Going AFK for a bit.)


| >novas armor changes from deep black ( https://www.google.com/search?q=xcom+white+armor+advent&client=ms-opera-mobile&channel=new&espv=1&prmd=ivn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwilvumx1tfZAhWFJpQKHX-lBeEQ_AUIESgB#imgrc=2sIN8BNQ2x8efM:&isa=y ) to a deep white ( https://www.google.com/search?q=xcom+white+armor+advent&client=ms-opera-mobile&channel=new&espv=1&prmd=ivn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwilvumx1tfZAhWFJpQKHX-lBeEQ_AUIESgB#imgrc=77yhoDDpMj9NyM:&isa=y )
CLEAR OUT!


| >>174606
(Please don't happen.)
>>174626
(Can very much imagine.)

(Also, 8 for dodge. Dang it.)

> The shot was fired from Scope was able to cause the sword to push deeper into the statue's head — but that also cause Aria to have to dodge from the fire. Something she failed to do, causing her to lose grip of her position.

"AAAA!"

> Aria is steadily falling downwards as she hopelessly adjusts herself and her tethers.


| >he starts chanting.
/kaì tò phõs én tẽ skotía phaínei/
/kaì é skotía aútò oú katélaben/
(i gotta roll a 20 or i fail.)


| (yall better have cleared out)


| "Oho~"
>Golden sink deeper into the mud. This time intentionally, until he's disappeared from sight


| "This is meant for people who run but..."
>Trapped begins a quick chant
/O Gentle Darkness/
/Lead the stray lambs here/
/and into my cruel grip/
[DARK CALLING]
>Aria is pulled out by a shadowy hand out of nowhere and into Trapped's hold


| >novas armor starts shining brighter.
/by the rivers of Babylon there we sat down/


| >>174653
>the armor becomes brighter then golden
/yea,we wept when we remembered zion/


| >>174654
>nova is now flying in air.his armor so bright its blinding.
/remember o lord the children of edom in the day of Jerusalem/
/who said raze it,raze it even to the foundation/


| >>174650
"T-t-thank you. I don't want to ever fly again."

> It took Aria a while notice the literal shining armour of Nova.

"Heh. It seems our party should be renamed to 'lighthouse'."

> She jokingly said before noticing her HP. It has dipped to the low 100.

"Well, this isn't good."


| >>174670
>nova continues chanting.
/oh daughter of Babylon who aught to be destoyed/


| (just came back from afk)
"Oh man , this is bad"
>Shima is running away in order to not get caught in the attack


|


|


| >>174679
"Sh-shima, help a dying friend please."

> Aria gestures a wave to Shima, as if she was holding a white flag, indicating her lack of HP to continue.

"I'm down to 50 now, hah."

> She let out a weak laugh as she keep seeing her HP dip due to the Burn debuff.


| >>174684
>Trapped casts [lifeswap] switching hp with aria. And because she dips ibto critical territory, [berserker rage] activates!


| >>174688
".. T-thanks—but.."

> Honestly, Aria is less worried about the health and more about the skill Trapped activated.

"Are you okay? 50 isn't a good HP to live with!"


| >Shima just noticed that Aria was dying
"What the..dammit, i didn't know that you were dying! Hold on!

>Shima jumps and then cast a skill
"AIR DASH!"

>She quickly arrives at TRAPPED and Aria

"Wait, what did happen? Oh well .. whatever!"
>Shima cast a healing spell on TRAPPED


| >nova continues chanting
/happy shall he be for thou hast rewardeth thee/


| (nuke incoming)
>nova continues
/and happy shall he be for thou hast taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stone/


| (nuke incoming)
>nova continues
/and happy shall he be for thou hast taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stone/


| >>174691
"Th-thank you, Shima. I don't know how Trapped will respond to that, though."

> Aria starts transfixing her gaze towards the blinding armour of Nova, whilst seeing the tremendously long casting of the skill herself.

"By heavens, what are you even casting, Nova?"

> She mumbles in a faint voice.


| "I didn't know what was happened, but i was in panic, sorry if i do the wrong thing!"

>Shima is looking at Nova
"Shoot , we should go away quickly!"


| >>174698
"N-no worries, I think Trapped will appreciate it regardless."

> Or so, Aria hopes.


| >Trapped looks a little annoyed at shina for the healing
"I do more damage with my health that low!"
>Noticing the looming nuke, Trapped prepares to block the with her giant sword as a shield
"Just go, i'm too slow to fget away in time anyway"


| >he finishes
(20 i actually got 20...wow)
/so know what has come for you!/
/and die where you stand!/
>nova used [reddemers light]
>suddenly the statue is covered in a bright ray of light.
>then its gone and only a crater remains.
>his armor becomes black once again.as he slowly decends to the floor.
Whell shoot i dun nuked her.


| >Trapped comes out of the dust with 1 hp remaining
"Heh i knew that investment in [Enduring] was worth it."


| >>174707
"—Ack!"

> Aria covers herself with her hands as the brightness of the room becomes unbearable. Her fragile body was almost thrown off by the spell's effect.

> Eventually, as Nova's attack settles, she opens her eye — the whole room is back to normal, with the exception of the statues gone.

"I—I don't know why we used something with that much firepower for a mini boss."

> Aria remarked before seeing Trapped's HP.

"D-do you need a second healing?"


| "Hm? nah this is fine. As long as i don't get hit i can't die!


| >>174712
"That's a very weird tactic to have."

> Aria then tries to find Golden. For some reason, his big stature is nowhere to be seen.

"GOLDEN, WHERE ARE YOU?!"


| "Is it over?"
>Shima came in to the room


| (note that nova is just watching the rest of the party while invisible)


| (um..what about the drops?)


| >>174721
(Oh yeah, I forgot about those as well.)

> Whilst looking for Golden, Aria notices Scope is fading away — as if he was in the midst of logging out.

"That's.. very peculiar."

> She then finds Shima re-entering the room, seemingly unscathed from the blast.

"Mostly over. I don't know where Nova went, however—.. and Scope is acting very weirdly."


| (ill get to the drops in a bit)


| "Did Nova self-destruct or what? he is gone..and also Golden too."
>Shima scans the area and doesn't seem to spot neither Nova or Golden


| >An armored fist comes out of the ground, golden climbs out of the now-dried mud. Panting.
"Hah hah it seems I forgot that I needed to breathe"

"Well gather around then"


| >>174740
(ahh i just saw scopes goodbye,kinda in tears now.)
>nova uncloaks.
BOO!


| >>174740
(ahh i just saw scopes goodbye,kinda in tears now.)
>nova uncloaks.
BOO!


| >>174750
"WHA , A GHOSTT!!!!!!!"
>Shima runs in panic


| > Aria was more startled by Shima's exclamation than Nova's sudden appearance.

>>174748
"Ah, there you are, Golden. Why were you in the mud?"

> A bewildered Aria asks Golden before seeing that Scope has completely disappeared.

"He logged out, hmh."


| >Trapped seems amused that she was standing on golden this entire time, still is.


| >After running because of fear, she calmed down a little bit
"Huff..huff, what the heck was that?"

>Shima looks back , there is Nova, Aria and also Golden

>She then approaches them and then yells at Nova
"Geez, why did you do that? you were lucky i didn't reflex and whack you with my staff!"


| "Oh before I begin healing. Would someone be so kind as to set me on fire"


| >>174775
(I forgot to add TRAPPED, sorry)
"Sure..but why though?"
>Shima asks


| >>174775
>Trapped obliges.
/Oh Old flame/
/Be rekindled in this mortal body/
/And burn the world anew/
[Flash Fire]


| >>174777
>Golden raises an arm to point out how filthy it's gotten from blood, dust and mud.


| >>174779
"I see, cleaning things with fire huh"


| Hey where is scope
>nova asks


| >Golden is set ablaze!
"Hmmm wait. Was it fire that cleansed the body and water the soul, or the other way around"
>He ponders as his armor gets covered in black soot


| "oh! Cleaning with fire was for spiders!"


| >>174783
"He logged out. Unfortunate of him, but I assume he had other things to do."

> Aria answers, as she stays put during the whole 'try and burn Golden to clean him' show the party is doing.

"Oh right, did you guys get any drop? I don't seem to notice any."


| >>174789
Lets check the crater i left.


| >>174784
>Shima cast a spell on Golden
"Water Spray"


| >>174790
"R-right. You did solo the boss yourself."

> Aria nods, following Nova to see the crater.


| >seeing as most have already been healed some, Golden conserves mana and lets [Regen Aura] heal his teammates. While his personal regeneration deals with his earlier asphyxiation


| >>174791
"Ah. That works much better. Albiet less interestingly oho~"


| >the crater reveals.
>the statues eye (gold crafting)
>ancient protector parts (gold crafting)
>zel.


| Weird
>nova says.


| Weird
>nova says.


| >>174798
> Aria, right behind Nova, sees the items dropped by the boss.

"That sure looks like a better drop than bat ears, hm."

> As she takes a closer look, all of them are crafting items — with the exception of the Zels.

"Right. I have no proper use for these."


| >>174802
>it also drops 10 more bat ear chips
>nova finds it
Ohh more chips!


| >>174803
"C-curses."

> Aria realized she had jinxed herself again.

"—Also.."

> With one more realization, Aria looks around the crater for one thing she had missing: her sword.

"Nova, did you implode the statues *and* my sword as well?"
