DCCCV hesitates for a moment before joining the fray. He moves to P13 and delivers a precise cut to Chairian Fighter 2, and retreats to P11. He then addresses the enemies.

”We have numerical superiority, I would advise you to surrender now."
"If I were a bandit, I would say, 'your money, or your hit points,' but I'm not. Instead, just run away."
"Seriously. Go. Shoo.”

To make sure that they know that he's serious about this, he casts Riposte.

I move to D13 and stay there, waiting for the enemy.

Ziah spawns at K19. Attempting to impress his teammates, he flips his Tri-Chamber Revolver... and drops it on the floor. After shamefully picking his weapon up, Ziah moves to N16 and takes aim at Chairian Fighter 2 before pulling the trigger.

<ROUND THREE>
A few more people end up wandering onto the field- these three are Colors Full, Kongou, and Ziah! Welcome to Project Thymium! Unfortunately, I can't accept either JOE or Omjir at this time. JOE and I are still discussing things, and Omjir has the single most busted trait I've seen to date.

For starters, Permanent Skirmisher is a very powerful effect; so powerful that a trait containing just that would likely be too strong. The addition of something that'd let him perform basic attacks multiple times on several targets is absolutely broken, and would let him wipe armies without breaking a sweat. Add to the fact that he's getting better odds of doing this as he stacks AGI, and we get a very tidy package of DGE and team-wiping power.

...Also, this doesn't really factor into why I rejected the build, but don't we already have enough AGI-based builds already?

<THE BUNKER, ROUND THREE>
...The Chairian Cannoneer is struck down. With most of the squadron down, along with their leader, they Chairians are flung into a panic! The two still-standing Chairians run north, attempting to reach their exist. Still alive, the Cannoneer props himself up on one knee.

CHAIRIAN CANNONEER: W-We must hold! Don't give up-

He never completes his sentence, as a wave of death spills out of the forest, signaled by a ear-abusing screech. A single charred-black creature rips out of the dark woods, careening through the air. With a swift slash, the Chairian's neck is torn open, and they're left dead on the ground. Without a moment's hesitation, the creature begins to feast upon the corpse.

CHAIRIAN LANCER: ITI! QUICK, WE NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE THEY BLOCK THE EXIT!
CHAIRIAN LANCER: W-We need to get to the northern encampment! They'll be able to hold out!

They try their hardest to flee as those creatures- the ones he called the Iti, spill out of the woods in greater numbers. Some of them are small and dwarflike, yet still feral and savage. Some of them are taller and more slender, possessing more "feminine" figures made out of tiny fragments. And some of them appear to be malformed Chairians, a sick parody of their source.

This'll be a long day...

Anyway, your best bet is to utilize some Splash Damage on these things! If you don't have any Splash Damage... this might take a while. Fortunately, none of these foes are exceedingly tough... but some of them (mainly the Seekers) are capable of devouring corpses, which'll let them become stronger!

Toast stares at the two fallen in shock, "They're... d-dead? Th-this isn't what I wanted. Those were real people!"

She bangs her fist against the wall of the bunker, before turning her back to it, and sliding down into a sitting position. An emerald green flame manifests itself near her heart, which immediately flies up and behind her, over the wall. She doesn't seem to notice it, over the sound of her being existential.

The Cannoneer moves to J14, and fires at the Javlyn. This will probably kill the latter.

The Wall of Teeth sprints to H9.

The wisp of flame buries itself into the ground. Within seconds, a bright blue, seemingly-ethereal plant grows, covered in thorns. It grows and grows, continuing to do so until its about the height of an average human. Leg-like roots pull themselves out of the ground, and there (at F11) we have an Incantation summon.

The moment the Iti arrive on the scene, EN just glances around for a few seconds, then takes a look at the fact that one of those apparently just ate the cannoneer. A brief moment of silence for the unfortunate soul... and then it's time to get to work again. She proceeds to move to F7, then glance over at the chairian Lancer near her, the dude on E5.

"Uh, hey. Get over here and hide behind me if ya feel like not dying horribly. And could ya take that archer with ya? And do it NOW!?"

To cover the lancer's retreat, she fires off an earthy shot at Seeker 7. Granted, that probably doesn't cover very well, but it's something.


In the meantime, Calibri and Verdana seem to be just watching, as per usual, as well as discussing between themselves.

"Can you go and help them out?"
"No can do. There might be some still yet to reveal themselves, and I wouldn't forgive myself if one of them got you while I was busy."
"Ngh... I don't like this."
"Neither do I, but it's unavoidable."

DCCCV freezes for a split-second, before regaining his composure.

”Oh my.”
”Wait. Actually, I can handle this.”

After Moniker makes their move, DCCCV moves to N12 and slashes Seeker 3. If he takes Seeker 3 down, he follows through and strikes the Javlyn, and then retreats to O10. If he did not take Seeker 3 down, then he just retreats to O10.

Irongutta watches the Iti pour in from the trees around him. He winced a little at the sight of the cannoneer being ripped into, but that was merely a passing feeling.

"I ain't afraid of no itsies!"

Irongutta runs to C6 and uses his weapon's special, IT'S THAT TIME OF DAY. He began swinging the heavy ball part of the High Sun in circles around him like it was some kind of Zelda game. He "aimed" to hit all of the Iti around him. Once the High Sun was swinging fast enough, he changed his grip and threw the heavy end at Seeker 7 (Failing that, Seeker 4). Quite honestly, it seemed like he was almost having a good time.

Move to N13! Attack Seeker3!

"Yeah, I THOUGHT this seemed too easy!"

Good job though team, we're OWNING this fight. We pretty much can't lose!

Auth freezes. Not because the enemies are retreating, he seemed to be somewhat happy with that. But...

uA: Y-you! Damnable beasts![/b]

Auth has something which can only be described as a Vietnam Flashback as he recalls his previous fights against the Iti.

[b]uA: I should have foreseen that these things would arrive.[/b]

He flags down the surviving Chairians, after shifting over to G7.

[b]uA: Hey! Don't run, you'll have a better chance of surviving if you stay with us and help fight. We can make sure you don't get horribly mangled...[/b]

Auth says, as black ink swirls around the Archer, saving them from their wounds. He uses Valiance, in other words.

[b]uA: See? Help us here. I'm sure you don't want to die either, and the three of you won't last on your own.[b][/b]

Teag runs up to K13, and quickly makes Breaker 2 not alive by method of railgun, hopefully.

Emerald rushes over to G3, growling a low hum of rage ”Good, something I don’t need to feel guilty about killing” He then takes his entire body and slams into Seeker4, casting Shield Slam

I heard people want me to take some revive thing so...
Encourage (modified)
instead of screaming "I will soul-kill you blah blah", you say "come on, your really special, we need your help"... and then if that doesn't work, you say "I WILL SOUL-KILL YOU" so loudly that they hear it in whatever deadperson realm they're in. costs 20 MP on downed players and 30 MP on dead players. also hurts your voice when you use it on dead players, whatever that means.

Special:
Trion Form.
Fills by: 1 SP per round, except while active. (Including out of battle)
SP Cost: ???
Enter Trion Form for 5 turns (<-- please have increase with SPC). Replace your HP and MP with Trion, which is equal to the sum of 75% of your MHP + 50% of your MMP. This acts as a combined HP / MP pool.
Replaces your weapon with a (12-12) Slashing Damage weapon, with 1-2 Range and 3 Retreat. Other stats (and the weapon skill) remain the same on the weapon.
Improves your current weapon however much would turn a mediocre normal weapon into 12-12 damage, and also improve range & retreat.
All damage you take is halved while in Trion Form. Gain stacks of Wounds equal to 50% of the damage you take, rounding down. You lose Trion equal to your wounds each turn. Reverse this process for healing.

Spells cost 50% of what they normally would, but cost Trion.

When Trion Form runs out, you get a % of HP and MP equal to what your % of Trion was. If you are downed / killed during Trion Form, instead lose Trion Form and live with 1 HP and 0 MP. [gain as fill condition at X SPC: if the battle ends while you are in trion form, get back SP based on percent of Trion you have multiplied by percent of turns remaining.]

I spawn in to G16 and move to B16 if this will allow me to finish off breaker 1, or spawn on j14, then move to J13

The Artist, still unnamed, is, angry? You think, it's face certainly doesn't look happy. It moves to space J6, slashing at the Gorged, before retreating . . . towards the Chairian Lancer 2?
"YOU!" Says the artist.
"Me?" Says the Chairian Lancer 2.
"You people are now our allies, you will help us NOW! Now help me prevent them from dying by stabbing the thing I just stabbed!"
"But. . ." The Chairian tries to argue, but is interrupted.
"Do you want your allies to dIE! No? THEN STAB THE FAT THINGY." The cleary mad artist yells, pointing towards the Gorged.
"But you killed our friends!" The Chairian argues, having a valid point.
"WE HAVE NECROMANCY, YOUR ARGUMENT IS INVALID, PLUS THESE THINGS JUST KILLED YOUR BOSS RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU, SO STAB THEM!!!" The artist argues back.
OOC: This is how one uses retreat right? I have two retreat, so could I move to where the Chairian Lancer 2 is?

The Man moves to K8 and uses Heartpiercer on the Gorged.

Hat Kid recoils in shock and fear at the monster that just jumped in front of them and ate someone. Boshi also noticeably flinched, more at the surprise than anything.
"(Nope)"

After recovering, Hat Kid prepares a potion while Boshi runs to (O8). The potion done, Hat Kid tosses it up high into the air... to land on the Raider soon enough.
