DEIMOS
Ronin’s call was enough to sound the next round of alarms, and while his allies were quick, sharp, and effective in covering their eyes, the water elementals didn’t hold the same grace, poise, or measures. The blast was a ricocheting volley of light and sound, radiant for comrades, and belligerent for enemies. Their opponents felt the pain in blistering, wild, and vicious torment, seething upon the boundaries of their stony fixtures.And from there, the hunters and creatures remained in seemingly unending juxtapositions. Evie’s plan was sharp and tactful, but the pebbles and earth didn’t pull together well; leaving most to settle into the frozen area just below the surface.
Even Noah’s defiant rage against the Cohort and its stag formations didn’t clear all the way, leaving the spear to settle back into the snow as the look-a-like launched higher into the air.
If deer could cackle maliciously, it might’ve done exactly that. The Cohort settled for a smug look instead. It wouldn't last long.
Gritting and clenching his teeth, the Sword unfurled his own life draining incantations, permitting them to seep and slither forth in intangible lines and threads, intending to snag at the Cohort as well, intending to end the beast. So the buck didn’t stand for long, faltering, flickering, and then descending into a mass of unliving liquid amidst the glaze of ice.
The Genius shrieked; echoes of banshees, of demons, of dragons. Maybe it knew an end was near, but had yet to realize whose.
Reaching for the Cohort’s remains, much as it had done to Blob Bob, the Genius formed a thick shield before it – so even though it was boxed in the rocks and stones, there were layers and multitudes to pulse and beleaguer through.
Along with a few more raging ice shards, one of which pierced Deimos’ left calf with a sharp and bleeding pain.
--
Combined efforts from the Monster Hunters have done the following:
- Ronin’s Supernova has struck both Cohort and Genius, dealing out massive damage simultaneously.
- Evie’s magic hasn’t rooted the way she would’ve liked, leaving rocks and pebbles below the ice.
- Noah’s spear has missed its target, and ended up landing along the snow.
- Deimos’ Mastered Life Drain has hit the Cohort, successfully killing it.
On the elementals’ side:
- Genius has used Blob Bob and Cohort’s remains to form a shield in front of it.
- Genius has landed a blow upon Deimos using an ice shard.
What will you do next? No post order!
Not Bright Blob Bob: 0/100
Slightly Smarter Cohort: 0/150
Genius in the Group: 80/200
He was something solid
to lean against
violent and fierce and unmoving
