ronin A man unwilling to fight for what he wants deserves what he gets
It was time. Ronin had prepared, stalled, prepared again and finally, finally, he had given his daughter over to Vervain at the Infirmary and he had headed to the Spire at high noon. The Flowerbirth sun, pale but still warm, shone down upon him as he came to a halt just within that strange, invisible line around the Spire that most deemed 'safe'. Not that he would stay within it for long. The ex-captain was dressed in his old Storm Guard leathers, Ronin determined not to receive another bite from the creature if he could bloody well help it. His left hand flexed, clenching and unclenching; the God Hand gauntlet gifted to him by a goddess shimmered with each movement. He had donned his kinesis bracers, too, making sure they were fully charged; from one of them, a small plume of osprey feathers bristled in the breeze. An eye-shaped pendant lay warm against his chest beneath his clothes, too (did it feel warmer than usual? Did it?). He was ready as he'd ever be. Tilting his head up to greet the sun, Ronin closed his eyes. "Safrin, smile down upon us today," he murmured, before turning to face his comrades. "Thank you all, for being here. It... it's encouraging, not showing up and finding out I was to do this alone." He laughed quietly, slinging a small sack from his shoulder and setting it down before the group. "The monster is weak against fire and other incendiaries. Courtesy of my favourite alchemist, I have here a selection of grenades and glass bombs, which should spread fire where they ignite. There is flint and other means to set them alight in there, too. So please, arm yourselves." OOC NOTE: Each participant will have 1 x grenade and 1 x glass bomb (AKA Molotov) to use as a thrown projectile throughout this KQ. "I also have this." Ronin withdrew three vials from his pocket, handing them out to the group - noticeably, there was not one for him. "Isla was able to make this much antivenom to deal with the creature's poison before she died. If you get bit, knock that back and you should be... well. Not alright, but you know what I mean." Clearing his throat, Ronin glanced over his shoulder to ensure he had not unintentionally drawn the creature's ire just yet. "I suggest Sparky stays back and tries not to get too close to the creature." He winked at Ashetta. The rest of us... if we can draw it out from the Spire and its shadow using the projectiles, all the better. If we can keep it away, we stand a very good chance, I believe. I'll go in first and draw it out. Roana, I'd appreciate you being hot on my heels. If you can attack, I'll shield you as best I can. Agreed?" Whether they were all in agreement or not... it was happening. Welcome to the Key Quest! 1. Ronin 2. 3. 4. Remi You have 48 hours to respond, detailing your character arriving and their preparations.

"I will take that as a compliment and pretend that I am not the only alchemist." Remi said with a smile that belayed none of the worries and fear that he should have been feeling. Glancing warmly at
Glancing up towards the sky, three medium-sized hawks circled. Nodding towards them, the alchemist smiled. "Last time it was just the spire demon on its own..but if more trouble comes, they can alert us and provide a distraction."

There are no words of encouragement to offer, none that will change this outcome now.
Still, Safrin sends a cooling breeze through the midsun air. It wraps itself around the maybe-martyrs-but-hopefully-heroes and invigorates them, body, mind, and soul.

The alchemist watched as fire curled from Ashe's finger. He was glad that after all the months prior that he'd promised to make her the item that she now wore, that he'd been able to make good on his promise. Whether or not it would make any difference now however was another matter entirely.
Having watched the Ro's interact together with easy soldierly-camaraderie before, the alchemist felt the naive stirrings of hope and optimism sparkle in the back of his throat making him want to laugh or to perhaps ask Ronin to say some silly words over them as a precursor for what they were about to face. However the hawks above suddenly trilled loudly, their minds pressing inwards on Remi's with wordless ripples of !!!!!!!!!! that buzzed with warning and panic. "MOVE!" Remi cried, hardly finding the time to do or say anything more as the creature vaulted towards them. Its claws raked outwards and the alchemist dodged backward nimbly on his feet for the first swipe, hardly making it out of the way of the second. Remi was quick and nimble, but he possessed none of a soldier's predictive knowledge and so had little guess as to where a creature such as this might attack next. Reaching deep into the wellspring of his magic, Remi felt for the magical tendrils of earth beneath the creature as it snapped at Roana. Gripping at them like a handful of string, Remi tugged with all of his strength—mostly magical, though his muscles rippled in response. He tried to create a 30ft deep pit, thrusting the misplaced dirt high into the air to land away from the group and away from the demon (so that it could not use it to crawl its way back up). Hopefully the creature might take damage by falling, but if nothing else, at least it might be temporarily incapacitated in the hole so that Ashe could blast it with lightning. Remi dodges the two attacks, then tries to create a 30ft deep pit with mastered earth manipulation magic for the creature to fall into.

As the creature fell into the pit he'd created, for a moment the alchemist felt a painfully naive spark of hope. Could it really be that simple? That it could be contained in the earth where the likes of Ashetta could simply blast it with enough lightning to render it defeated? But then something rose up from the pit. Not the creature, no not yet, but its laughter? Whatever it was, the sound chilled the alchemist to his core as he edged carefully forward to peer into the pit.
With claws that easily overcame the sheer walls he'd tried to create, Remi gave himself a one second respite to internally curse and groan and wish that for once something might have gone their way since the beginning. Quickly though the not-soldier shook this thought lose, his rather pragmatic mind immediately rushing towards a potential solution. In his hands flint and stone suddenly appeared, the grenade and the glass bomb that he and Ronin had worked on. Holding them with his magic, the alchemist struck flint against stone, holding the wicks of both devices close until they caught. Giving how close the creature was, Remi used his magic to wrap the wick tightly around the bottle's opening so that it would burn quickly. Rather than tossing the two devices, Remi magically lowered them, intent on ensuring that whenever they detonated, it would be directly on the creature. He'd not risk a rogue bounce or having the fire burn at an interval that he hadn't predicted just to render it useless at the bottom of the pit. Hopefully having hit the creature twice before it made its way out, the alchemist would then leap into the air to take flight, flying up and to the opposite side of the pit hopefully avoiding whatever retaliation the creature might have. Not quite cowardly, but definitely defensive. Besides, he'd need a bit of range for what he had planned next. Remi lights and then uses his magic to hold the molotov and the grenade near the creature to hopefully ensure that they both hit.
