Squire Pendour- Not attacking

Pendour was getting better at deescalation tactics for when she found a single agent out on the streets, but a mob like this was an entirely different beast. It did not help that half of the people here had broken souls that tended towards violence. That didn't help at all.

The thought of trying to stand in the middle or something did cross her mind. It felt like a betrayal of her values to freeze up in these situations, and yet that was what was happening this time, too, even as she watched the action and willed herself to step forwards.

The feeling of a jacket and then hands on her shoulders made her tense up even more and then soften all at once. It would only make things worse if her friends watched her get hurt, wouldn't it? If there had been some chance that she could really help, could find some gentler way to guide everyone back to the city by the river path, then it might have been worth that risk, but as it was, she just collapsed against his chest, the tears beginning to well up.

"It's not your fault," she said with all the gentleness in the world. It wasn't. He had been working far harder than she had to figure all this out. She shifted slightly so that she could summon her ocarina. The magic wouldn't work on her, but it would be something to listen to besides the crashes and roars in the distance.

She still channeled the magic, though, for his sake and for the sake of anyone else who could hear and maybe rethink what they were doing.

[Anyone can choose to be in range of the magic!]

Chibi Super Lepus | 8+9+5 | Roll 3

The monster was getting mad, which Lepus took to be a good sign... somehow. At the very least, it meant they were doing something to it, even if it didn't look like they had done much damage from their efforts to attack it. Now, if they just kept at it... they'd surely be able to take it out!

Of course, it wouldn't do any good if the monster took them out first. Splinters went flying from a swipe of its claws, and Lepus scrambled to dodge them, as it wouldn't do any good to fall in battle here and now.

"You'll have to do more than that to stop me!" she called out, as she used her magic again to summon another decoy Lepus, to hopefully distract her opponent.

Civilian Kalani | 8+5+0 (not attacking this round) | Roll 3

The monster finally showed up, after taking its sweet time getting here, and boy was it angry. It cleaved a tree with its mighty huge claws right in front of them, and Kalani felt splinters graze her cheek, which told her she was way too close for comfort. And honestly, why was she even up front like this, anyway? Kalani wasn't getting paid enough to deal with this, or at all.

The darkness made it hard to tell if she was bleeding or not, but if those splinters left a mark... she wasn't going to be happy.

X Silistra Page of Saturn: Dam 4 + 7- Not Attacking

Silistra heard the music and she stopped to listen to it, she was surprised at how much better she felt for the moment, more relaxed than she had felt in weeks. She was far enough back that she was able to dodge the flying wood that would have otherwise hit her if she had been trying to attack like the others. She really didn't want to attack in the first place. She wished there was another way to handle this and get everyone home. She looked around to see if there was any hint as to something else that could be done. Perhaps she could find some cloth and bandage those getting hurt rather than fighting.

X Salior Vela Corrupt Senshi of Bonfires: Dam 4 + 4+ 4

Roll 3

Vela was considering her next move as she watched others fighting and still others shouting that this wasn't the way to get out of this. Lots of voices and lots of problems. She sighed and rubbed the back of her head as she watched the monster return attack them. Not that she could blame the creature, they didn't know if this thing was what was keeping them here but they also didn't know that this creature wasn't what was keeping them here and therefore this might be their chance to get home. If they let the monster get away would they be stuck here forever?

X Salior Morpheus Dark Mirror Super of Surreality: Dam 5 + 3 + 9

Roll 3

Morpheus stood back watching the situation for the moment trying to decide his next move when the wave of power hit and his arm was cut. He frowned looking down at it but it would not be lonely if he became a scar he had plenty of scars already from the time before he could remember so the small cut was of no worry to him. He stood his ground and waited for his chance to fight back. He looked around to see if there were any others doing anything of interest at the moment. He started forward to see if he could find an opening for another attack.

Cinta Mahsa - Civilian | 1 + 3 + 3


Cinta felt like her heart is going to fall flat out of fear more than once. The near-constant violent sounds nearby frightened her considerably. The fog threatened to question her visual faculty more than once as well. Meanwhile, the gust occasionally caused her to lose her balance, and she endured a shower of splinters. They scratched and faintly stabbed against her.

Her eyes watered, feeling like crying. She was feeling upset and despite her best effort to maneuver around this maddening situation, she still hasn't found Safiya yet.

Stricken with worry, she wondered to herself, "Oh, just where could she be?"

Daisy Grace | Roll 1 | 2

As she had sat in the cellar, the last thing Daisy had expected was to have the ceiling over her crack open with such a monstrous bang. As bricks and dust went flying in the air, she kept crouched down, managing to avoid being hit by any large chunks of debris. And once the dust had cleared, her heart leapt to see a hole big enough to escape through.

Moving quickly, she threw herself at the newly created exit, scrabbling and scaling until she could pull herself out and roll over onto her back to stare at the grey skies above the village. Taking a deep breath, she sat up and stared around, noting how there was a river and what looked like tiny twinkling lights just over the horizon. Those hadn't been there before! She would have remembered if she'd seen them when she'd gone out exploring. Was there a way out of this little hellhole after all?

Before she could think too much on it, the fog descended over the river and figures boiled out of it, so closely resembling the monster that Daisy felt sick to her stomach. Getting to her feet, she saw how they were massing and felt that it wouldn't be long before the mist monsters did something. Fortunately, thanks to the cellar cave-in, there were plenty of bricks to hand and she'd be more than happy to chuck them into some ugly faces.

Seizing the closest fragments to hand, she did just that, forgoing aim and simply hoping to hit anything that wasn't human.
