ArcaneStomper Posted January 12 Author Clone Share Posted January 12 Fortunately Morgan's sinewy bonds don't try anything more than to squeeze the life out of her. Although that is certainly a fairly bad result in itself. Meanwhile Anna rushes in and begins slicing at the Rampant's limbs and organs again and again. Ichor and flesh fly everywhere and the Rampant seems to recoil unsure what to do. When Leslie announces her attack it pulls its limbs together in preparation for receiving what will no doubt be a powerful blow. Meanwhile Delcroix has had a revelation. The illusion of the rampant's current form is allowing the scions to process it, but more than that it's allowing the world to process it. Reality can't and won't accept such chaos. The very reason that the rampant form this pocket dimension must have been to protect itself against a hostile reality. It's anchored here by the scion's own perceptions of it. As well as the souls of all of its victims. That gives the scions leverage. Leslie has demonstrated this the most by manipulating the space of this dimension, but the other scions should be able to impose their will on it as well if they try.

After a moment, however, she realizes she's giving the game away. The rampant's focus is on her, and she means to keep it that way. Besides, she likes the attention. "Scared?" she taunts the rampant. "All your power, all your tricks, and for what? You're going to die today. I've killed so many of you, I can't even remember. And by the time the next one crawls into our world, I won't remember you, either." Normally, she'd use such a taunt to prey on a rampant's fear, but this one's defenses are too strong. She can't bring out the fear in it. If she's lucky, though, she can summon its rage.

Her feet skim over the 'floor' as Anna plunges forward, both arms outstretched as she drives for the Rampant's core and starts to rotate about as she goes. Not another magic, or a mystic technique.

Abalon Posted January 24 Clone Share Posted January 24 The Black Fixer This certainly was an interesting revelation. One she already guessed at a while back, but it's nice to see it confirmed. This whole thing was a bubble, all it needed was to be popped, and the Rampant would collapse. The only issue was getting all of the souls it devoured back. Well... if there was one thing the Moochee clean-up crews were good at, it was recovering those. Besides, it'd be pointless if they all died Raising her sword high up, she then strikes at her feet, using it as a physical catalyst for her magic to pour into the Rampant's dimension and start destroying it. She wnated to disrupt it and exploit the chaos but even if it didn't work... it seemed to get very angry at its work getting tinkered with. Maybe that would allow the other Scion to use her emotion magic better OOC Using Expertise to start destroying the Rampant's realm.

Niven81 Posted January 25 Clone Share Posted January 25 (edited) Scion Morgan Morgan struggles to no avail and lets out a tearful scream of pain as the Rampant squeezes her body. Damn it, why now?! Her mind races trying to figure something, anything out that may help her. Fear starts to engulf the youngest looking Scion, closing in on her like pallid yellow hands. She screams again and again as she tries to break free. Crack!!! Morgan's eyes burst open, ignoring the pitiful tears that had started to fall unbidden, and with a final scream. "I am the mother ducking Scion of Will!" With that she manages to break free and catching herself midair and turns to face the creature. "FEAR MY MIGHT!!!" She screams as green energy flares and crackles in her eyes and her baseball bat flies back to her hand.

ArcaneStomper Posted January 26 Author Clone Share Posted January 26 Leslie and Anna attack the rampant mentally and physically simultaneously, and their respective blows strike true. Leslie is able to goad the rampant to anger wearing away a bit of its self control. While Anna drills into the monsters core slashing organs and nodules that look important before escaping out the other side. Unfortunately the rampant doesn't seem particularly phased by Morgan's declaration, though the strands of sinew and flesh do pull back from her. Delcroix on the other hand is a bit more successful. She isn't able to actually crack any of the rampant's dimensional walls, but as she pours magic over the area she is able to sense irregularities. Four knots of magic that seem to be holding things together. OOC Toughness vs Leslie DC 26 Toughness vs Anna DC30 Rampant Attack vs Anna DC10 Anna needs to make a Will check against DC 31 for damage.

Abalon Posted January 29 Clone Share Posted January 29 The Black Fixer Delcroix smirks as she notices the weaknesses in the Rampant's barrier. It's a small relief, she was starting to get worried that she couldn't find something she could pierce and would have to go back to wailing on it. Which seems to be increasingly effective, looking at the winged Scion's blows, but she was getting tired of the same approach all the time. She decides to strike a great blow, fashioning her magic into four "blades" of sort and sending them all at once to sever the knots in one fell swoop before the Rampant has any chance of realising what is going on OOC Magic to weaken the Rampant's dimension even further Name xDiceName xDiceResult xDiceString xDiceRolls Magic 16 1d20+7 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So she grit her teeth and turns to drive deeper, push on and carve another hole into the Rampant's flesh. "C'mon, you can do better than that, can't you?!", she demands of the monster, trying to draw it's focus onto her while the others do whatever it is they're doing.

ArcaneStomper Posted February 6 Author Clone Share Posted February 6 Rather than attack the rampant directly Delcroix reaches out with her magic. She attempts to sever the knots of magic she has found all at once, but her grasp on her magic proves a bit too tenuous for such a decisive blow. It's good enough to destroy one of the knots however and it has an immediate effect. Instantly the rampant seems to wilt. It's body looking weaker and more shriveled. Leslie can feel it going from vaguely annoyed to downright worried as lashes out in an attempt to grab Delcroix. But it's enormous hands miss her by a hair's breadth. Sensing an opportunity the scions don't let up. Even through a haze of pain and fear Anna relentlessly strikes down at the Rampant. Her blades cut deep into its organs. Morgan is a bit less success. Her orb of energy smashes into the rampant and tears a hole through its front to expose the writhing organs within. Between the success of her attack and Leslie's encouragement Morgan is feeling back in peak condition.

Abalon Posted February 11 Clone Share Posted February 11 The Black Fixer Delcroix's last minute dodge cracks her concentration a little, but the withering and panic of the Rampant was galvanising enough to get right back in it. Before she tries it again with a little more focus, she hears the bat-wielding Scion cry out in frustration. Hrm... maybe she could help She yells out "There knots of magic holding this place together, break them and it dies!" before pointing at the relative location of two of them.
