Their luck turns almost immediately, and Ophelia turns to regard the vampire gourds with a vague expression of fondness. They had tormented their home many times in their youth, it's almost funny now to see them so vicious and yet so small. Not nearly as terrifying as they'd once been when Phi was scrawny and underfed. Grabbing one of the boards meant for the landing (not exactly thinking any further than what was on hand) they wield it like a bat, aiming to smack all the gourds off the sides as they try to climb with their vines up the sides and ongoing stairs. It's almost a game, even if they are clumsy and slow with it. Still, they kick out at the gourds fearlessly with their boots whenever they get too close, hoping to send them flying in a spray of seeds and goop. - - - Phi wields a board as a bat against those climbing the platform, occasionally trying to kick any of the climbers. |
I don't feel no remorse, and you can't see past my blinders
