Hadama could not know the source of Zavien's tension, but as they set about their grim work side-by-side he felt a creeping unease of his own settling into his throat and clogging his nose. His breathing grew short and labored as the Tidebreaker's pulse jumped and began to race in spite of his foreknowledge of the flowers' effects. Rationality quickly ran into a dead end against the chemical cocktail of the Void-tainted scent and the Mer King's careful, surgical strikes began to grow more brutal as he lashed out against the source of his fear. Beside him, the Dragoon was wreaking similar havoc against their shared foe, but their strikes were going wild and beginning to nick roses and green leaves alongside purple ones.
The Gambit shivered, an ominous creaking of wood rippling down its length in both directions.
Maea's arrival was not a moment too soon. It was very nearly a moment too late, in fact, but she managed to slip through the closing branches overhead with only a lost tailfeather to show for it. Her words reached through to Hadama - indeed, looking affected if not quite so strongly as Zavien - and his stabbing slowed as he followed the familiar sound of her voice back to himself. He hesitated and then shook his head, trying to clear his thoughts as he fire began to blossom with pinpoint accuracy within the wall of green they faced.
"Zavien. Stop--" His voice was a quiet rumble with all the iron of an order to one of his own court guards. He pried a hand from his trident to set it on the Dragoon's shoulder to pull them both back away from the first curls of smoke, his longer stride taking him further--
And directly adjacent to the patch of brown moss that he had forgotten about in his pollen-hazed distraction. It whipped out several tendrils from its main mass to wrap around his legs and one arm, immobilizing his trident as dark energies slithered along its surface. Reacting on instinct, Hadama formed a sphere of gravity above the creature and slammed it down into its main body before the Void corruption reached him. The demigod grunted as the darkness coiled beneath his skin and staggered, bright gaze dimming with shock as the violet shadows crashed into the starlight of his soul.
Round 3: The daisies are burning and the hedges are restless but haven't turned aggressive yet at all the fire. However, the violet flowers aren't dead yet - and Hadama has stepped too close to the patch of brown earth, which has been revealed as a patch of Voidquicksand Moss!
Zavien hits the Daisies!
Maea hits the Daisies and is able to keep the fire from spreading to the roses!
Zavien and Hadama are no longer affected by the Daisies as the smoke lessens their effectiveness.
Hadama has been grabbed by the Moss but scores a hit on it with a Gravity Spike before staggering!
Cursed Daisies: 36.5/150
Voidquicksand Moss: 150/220
Hadama: 650/800
Maea: 279/279
Zavien: 156/156
Voidquicksand Moss (Uncommon): The Quicksand Moss, now tainted by the void, exudes an even more ominous aura. Its brown appearance, once a result of consuming animals, now harbors an unsettling void energy. The moss not only grabs and digests unsuspecting creatures but also ensnares their souls in void-infested torment. Encountering Voidquicksand Moss means facing the dual threat of physical consumption and spiritual corruption.
