DEIMOS
Delivered from the blasts
He took his time from the back, maneuvering into and within the crevice, slippery, slimy conjectures beneath the soles of his shoes, a threat in and amongst itself; without the pressing claws, the sinking knives of darkness (and he knew shadows intimately, like old friends, but not this sort of abyss, the kind of Stygian anchor wrapped around one’s chest). The river might’ve continued to flow in here, filling in every nook and cranny, seeking low spots and holes, circumventing its power over and over again. He thought, well beyond, were the faint echoes again, calls and cries for help; bewitching, obliterating, pulling against the tide, the sole reason they were all here – striving to seek out those who yearned for asylum.
An outcry, a shout of Remi’s name echoed from ahead, from the girl Phoebe, and he moved, drawn to swift action because he was there for protection, arms and munition, slaughter and devastation when required. He was meticulous in his thundering forward, machinations remembering the slick surface, the pitfalls and puddles just enough to be another trial and tribulation. But he was flowing in blind animosity, simply following the sounds of thuds and shouts, Wessex lunging forward too, forces in masse, and he presumed she’d have better eyesight, she’d be able to view the thing, flickering behind her, the warrior with senses made for closed quarters. The problem of unknown confines and stabbing blindly wove its way through the current crisis: he could concoct a series of things, but all of them would be at risk when he couldn’t see, when he couldn’t judge, when he couldn’t truly ascertain. Precision and control had always been skills he proudly possessed, and there were always an interval of options; his magic, his sword, his knives, his hands. So he reached forward as best he could, near Wessex, near Remi, near whatever eluded them in the space of crag and crevasse, struggling to lay his fingers on foe instead of friends. Ordinarily, he wouldn’t even have to think about it: death and mauling, lacerations and injuries, combining his military efforts into warrior ministrations, stabbing, stabbing, stabbing. But there were others to consider, not just himself, not just this unfamiliar object in the dark. What else could he do? The moments for his calculations swiftly ended, and he breathed, dared to try and compose accuracy, precise, measured. Then there was a muted glow pulsing from his right hand, emanating, a dagger pulsing and pervading, created from his invocations, before proceeding with a single onslaught, aiming, intending, to drive the keen edge into the adversary’s flesh. And all along, he begged and pleaded in the pervading madness, in the shadowed interludes: not them, not them, not them, don’t hit them. ------ Deimos rushes forward, hopefully beside Wessex, trying to get a feel for the tentacle. When he thinks he’s found it, he creates a dagger and tries to stab it. the last of a line of lasts |

If the thing that the tentacle belongs to hears Remi (oh, and it does), it shows no sign of bending to his will. In fact, the alchemist would hear it laugh in his head - a sound simultaneously slimy and grating - before it turns to a tinny shriek that he would hear both in his mind and without. Pim's sharp teeth had closed around the tentacle, causing it to release Remi and slither back into the wall. The movement would cause Deimos's own attack to miss (boo!), and the others to go stumbling back with the alchemist in tow. But all was not quiet; no, not quiet at all. As the tentacle thrashes its way back into the rocky wall, there is a sense of something massive shifting around. Before your eyes, more tentacles emerge, and a further few boulders rumble and drop from the ceiling. Ominously, the structure still stands. (For now). Deimos does a stab at the tentacle and MISSES! Pim does a bite at the tentacle and HITS! There are falling rocks everywhere.

Phoebe I've been very hopeful so far Now for the first time I think we're going wrong Hurry up and tell me this is all a dream Or could we start again, please? Phoebe tugs back on Remi, falling backwards as he is suddenly released from the grasp of whatever it was that held him. She feels an odd sense of victoriousness bubbling up in her chest, recognizing it as Pim’s, who must’ve been successful in attacking whatever it was. But it didn’t last long, as suddenly the thing that attacked Remi became clear – a tentacle, now accompanied by others as it thrashed. Phoebe gasped in alarm, ducking off to the side, trying to drag Remi with her, to narrowly avoid the boulders. Pim lets out a mighty squeak roar at the tentacles, waiting for one to wave close to bite at it again. If he managed to do so, from deep within his belly he would breathe rainbow lightning onto the tentacle – well, more like electrical sparks. He was a baby after all. ”Pim! Be careful!” Phoebe shouts in alarm, her worry and anxiety for the little dragon met by Pim’s own bravado. He was here to protect, and protect he would! Phoebe dodges and worries after her dragon. Pim tries to bite tentacle 1 again and breathe baby lightning on it. the Bastion

there’s a light that you give me when I’m in shadow 'Under here!" Remi loudly calls to the group as the shower of stones and boulders around him flares brightly in his mind. Arms raised for environmental context as much as to control his magic, Remi tugs an earthen shield to life creating a cave of stone and dirt above his head and those who would come and stand next to him to protect them from the falling boulders. Without being able to maintain his focus on more than just the earthen roof about their heads, Remi blindly (no pun intended) grasped for the fallen boulders and thrust them back towards the creature, judging its location based on the mental pulses he could feel of it as well as the scent of it sucked in through a nose that had become quite leonine. Remi uses mastered earth magic to make a roof to hide under from the boulders, and then uses upgraded telekinesis to throw the boulders back at the tentacles. there’s a feeling within me, an everglow

Oh what chaos ensues, in the dark (yeah did no one light a lantern or what?), in the damp, in the deep. Tentacles flail, the structure around the group shudders - but doesn't fall, thankfully - and there is a ruckus of dragon claws scrabbling, rocks thuding, claws singing in the air. And when all is said and done, one tentacle has been crushed by boulders and withered by magic, slithering back into the wall of stone. The other three, however, still want to play with you all. What do you do? Pim attacked Tentacle 1 and MISSED. Remi blindly (as in, I randomly rolled for it) attacked Tentacle 2 and HIT. Wessex attacked Tentacle 4 and MISSED. Deimos attacked Tentacle 2 and HIT. Tentacle 2 has been taken out - but it did get an attack in first! Tentacle 1 attacked Phoebe and MISSED. Tentacle 2 attacked Deimos and HIT. Tentacle 3 was lonely, so it attacked Deimos as well but MISSED. Tentacle 4 attacked Wessex and MISSED. Ending HP and post order: Remi: 260 Deimos: 18.5 Tentacle HP: 1. 30 3. 50 4. 50 You have 48 hours. the Nightingale

Phoebe I've been very hopeful so far Now for the first time I think we're going wrong Hurry up and tell me this is all a dream Or could we start again, please? Frustration. Anger. Rage. But no pain. For that, Phoebe could momentarily breathe easy. She was doing her best to keep an eye on the little dragon who was living up to his name of resolute protector. But in the dark it was difficult, the sound of Pim's frustrated growling the only real indicator of where he was. Based on the emotions she was getting from him, he had missed. "Pim! Be careful!" she called worriedly to the baby dragon that shared her soul. Pim of course responded by attacking the tentacles again, with a bite and baby lightning breath. "Remi, can you make a lantern or something? We need light!" Phoebe asked, hoping he could. That might give them they edge they need! Pim attacks tentacle 1 again, with a bite and baby lightning breath. Phoebe asks Remi if he can conjure something that would give them some light. the Bastion

there’s a light that you give me when I’m in shadow The world was a blur of sounds and attacks and injury, and Remi could hardly make sense of any of it. Luckily though, two of his friends were thoughtful enough to give him instructions that he could easily follow. Feeling Deimos against him, the alchemist quickly created a few torches wrapped with cloth, and some flint and steel. Without being able to see however, there was no way that Remi could reliably or quickly light the torches that Phoebe had ordered. "Deimos, here—" He murmured beneath the apparent safety of his earthen creation. "For light." The alchemist added. Frowning at the reaper's admonishment of injury, Remi (uselessly) turned his head over his shoulder, sensing Isla through their bond. Deimos is weak, can you help him without risking your own safety? The alchemist queried through their bond. But unicorn or no, Isla was still a healer and had been trained as a combat medic. Hopefully given that none of this had been said out loud, the unicorn could stealth her way towards the earthen hovel to heal Deimos. Remi creates 2 torches and the means to light them, giving them to Deimos. He also silently instructs Isla to heal Deimos. there’s a feeling within me, an everglow

It is a shame that the torches are only lit after the dragonling goes in for another nip. Regrettably, the tentacles are lithe and ever-moving, and once again Pim's target darts around. It is a blessing, though, for in its acrobatics it does not manage to lash out at its opponent either. Wessex, however, finally strikes gold. Well. Flesh. Her claws sink in deep and, in the dark light of the cavern, the tentacle quivers in pain and ineffectually flails about. It is unable to get at the Ascended, no matter how hard it tries. Then there is Deimos. The unicorn makes it to him successfully, and he would feel his strength renewed as she touches the tip of her horn to his cuts and bruises. Regrettably, in the time it takes for this to happen, coupled with his lighting of the torches, his attack falls somewhat short of the mark. In return, the tentacle whips out and lashes him afresh! Pim attacked Tentacle 1 and MISSED. Wessex attacked Tentacle 3 and HIT. Deimos attacked Tentacle 4 and MISSED. Tentacle 1 attacked Phoebe and MISSED. Tentacle 3 attacked Wessex and MISSED Tentacle 4 attacked Deimos and HIT. Ending HP and post order: Remi: 260 Deimos: 26 Tentacle HP: 1. 30 3. 22 4. 50 You have 48 hours. the Nightingale

Phoebe I've been very hopeful so far Now for the first time I think we're going wrong Hurry up and tell me this is all a dream Or could we start again, please? The little dragon roared squeaked in pure frustration, which made Phoebe feel terribly uncomfortable. ”C’mon, Pim! You can get it! Just try again!” Phoebe called out to her little dragon encouragingly. Maybe some support would help him as he attacked the first tentacle once again, trying desperately to bite down and shock the flailing thing. Her eyes then moved to Deimos, who looked worse for wear despite being healed. ”Deimos! Come under here!” she said, worry in her voice. She had no idea who he was really, but she didn’t want anyone getting fatally wounded here. Wessex seemed to be doing fine on her own though, and she was impressive to watch. Third-time’s a charm, Pim tries to bite and shock tentacle 1 again! Phoebe encourages Deimos to hide under the rocks. the Bastion

He whispered into her mind in a flustered tone. Deciding it didn't matter, Remi raised the height of his impromptu-shelter to keep Isla close and safe if she was now going to be properly in the frey. With Isla's eyes as his guide, Remi reached for the boulders that still lay strewn around the cave. Feeling for the creature with his beastmaster skill as well as visual input from Isla, Remi hurtled another set of boulders towards the tentacles still bent on attacking the group. "Deimos, I am blind—" Remi panted after the strain of his continued magic use. "You will have to tell me if you need Isla to heal you again." He added in a low whisper, as if this weakness might somehow be to the creature's advantage. Remi aims for tentacle 1 w/ mastered earth magic. there’s a feeling within me, an everglow
