[KQ] Between a rock and a giant place

RANDOM EVENT

It's a lot of yelling, though to the giant it sounds a bit like high-pitched buzzing. What it is interested in, is the sudden bit of calamari wrapped around its legs, halting its progress. Ronin 's starbolts strike the giant's neck? shoulders? protruding boulders?, sizzling down into the stone. Whatever it might think about Sunjata 's electrical display, bound where it is by a bit of glorified sushi, it's unable to move any closer. Melita 's arrow strikes, lodging into some sort of muscular craig.

The giant, used to being in the same place for centuries, isn't as bothered by Remi 's presence as one might think. Instead, it twists to try and swat at Ronin whose little zappy zaps are fairly annoying. With a flick of its stony hands, he catches Ronin's legs with enough force to leave more than just a bruise.

If weapons/upgrades/abilities/items/shifts/etc are used, please include their desc. from your profile at the bottom of your post as well. If you don't do this, they won't be taken into account!

Your randomly assigned posting order is: Darkeye, Remi, Ronin, Sunjata, Melita. You have 24 hours to reply.

Darkeye HP: 72/72
Remi HP: 1302/1302
Ronin HP: 478/741
Sunjata HP: 255/255
Melita HP: 405/405


Rock Giant: 1172/1390
Steps towards the ocean: 0/4

Darkeye

Nine strikes

Darkey tries to look at the situation carefully, he doesn't care if the giant is killed here or somewhere else. He grabs the bow that he got from Sunjata and draws his arrow. Once again he takes a breath and tries to get his message through against the noise. "I don't know what all the fuss is about, but I'm not going to stand by and watch you defeat the giant I wanted to slay by yourself. We will help you, and after that you can still fight over theritories like little children. I will help where I can and I will take responsibility, I will not run away. If you want to kill me for it, do it." Darkeye shoots an arrow, but he doesn't think it can do much damage, but at least he can die with a good conscience. He doesn't know how to use his power to make the giant run away, except for Remi and the others. But he still doesn't see them as enemies. Maybe he can smooth the waters if he survives the whole thing and the giant is brought down. Or could Frey help here. Maybe strengthen the power of his axes to extend teleportation. First, he didn't know if that was possible, and second, it wasn't clear if this was an act of war. But was it perhaps already this and Sunjata had already dragged him into a situation he didn't understand? Were they the ones doing wrong here? The future will tell.

Darkeye tries to convince the others of his intentions and attacks the giant with the bow he got from Sunjata.

REMI

then it went dark

Able to hear only the snippets of conversation between Ronin and Sunjata, Remi finds himself feeling out of the loop when it came to how things were going above. Normally the one to soak damage and immobilize things rather than just immobilizing, Remi thinks his confusion up to the surface. If I can keep it here...can you and Melita take care of it? Or should I surface? Perhaps he could wrap himself around the giant's face and reenact some sort of horror movie while his husband and the honeybee did the rest.

Coiling his tentacles around the giant's leg, Remi began to try and sink two of his remaining tentacles into the sand to give himself purchase. Eventually he'd try and trip the creature, but for now, merely keeping it where it was was his only goal.

Remi asks Ronin if he should stay and tries to maintain his grapple.

RONIN

the darkstar

light is easy to love.

There’s an old saying in the gaming community (that Ronin doesn’t know about) and it applies here: burn the boss. The swipe at his legs is enough to steal the breath from his lungs - it’s been a long time since anything hit hard enough to really hurt, and he feels bruised (fractured?) bones protest with sears of pain up through his legs and into his hips.

I think it’ll smack me all the way to Torchline next time, he remarks to Remi, sounding fairly calm even if the warbling ache in his thoughts says otherwise. Up here would be better. The more of us taking this down, the better.

So saying, Ronin ignores Darkeye and Sunjata in lieu of not dying, and he hurls three more starbolts towards the giant’s craggy form.

Ronin hurls more starbolts at the giant, advises Remi he’s better off up here with them, and is still keeping Mel afloat with his nimbus.
