Welcome to Gaia! ::

Moriah:
You are unable to collect enough energy. Nothing happens, except there are tendrils of green energy around your sword, leading from the ground to the Ring.

Manra:
Rai'o says nothing. However, you can tell that he believes in your views.

Atlanta:
One of the targets sees his comrade coming and jumps out of the way. The other two, however, get hurt. They're all still alive, except for the one you dropped.
77 damage to Enemies #8-#10; Enemy #8 dies
Eleutherius:
No combat action made.

Kirino:
It feels solid, yet not. Like if you apply enough pressure it would be like your new clothes: you'd faze right through it.

Marco:
"Apply enough pressure!" Nashai'o replies. "It's an illusion that Rai'o created!"

Maxwell:
You're too angry: you are unable to focus on the darkness.

Everyone:

"Aww... and I was hoping for a strike. Oh well. I can at least get a spare." I charge a ball of fire and launch at the one I missed.

Even still...even if a battlefield is no place for my thoughts, I must still act upon my beliefs...that i shall not harm for the sake of harming, as well as do everything i can to prevent unneeded bloodshed and killing for the sake of killing. That no life shall be taken without a need for it to be taken. She stopped chewing on her finger as she set her hand to her side. "If you all feel I am so wrong, then you may as well make me your next target...because i will ...do everything i can to prevent ...any unnecessary... bloodshed and killing..." she said in a low but serious voice. "That... is my resolve."

I sigh upon hearing how resolved Manra is. "Very well... if that is how you feel, I at least will try not to kill them." I say aloud. Shitai'ei, is there a way I can use your powers to disable a foe instead of hurting them? I think to Shitai'ei and wait for a response.

Moriah:
The illusion fades a bit in your sight, but is still very much there. You just barely make it through the illusion before your resolve tells you that you can't. Once you are through, your body moves much easier. You manage to cut him decently. However, it is enough: he dies.
Enemy #1 dies
Atlanta:
You charge it quickly, but because it wasn't a very large charge, it becomes harder to aim from this high up. You miss.

Kirino:
You make it through with ease! You leave your victim behind as he dies. You are alone in this new part of the labyrinth.
Enemy #7 dies
Manra:
"Are you insane?!" Rai'o yells.
The walls of the labyrinth shake as his rage builds.
"You're supposed to help them, not sacrifice yourself for people who would kill you without a second thought!"

Marco:
You make it through okay, but slower than you would've liked. On the other side, you see the dagger lying in the grass. the light of the violet energy reflecting off of it.

Eleutherius:
"Of course," Shitai'ei says. "Blind them."

Maxwell:
Through the darkness, you find someone. From the energy signature, it's Silla and the Blue Ring. However, you receive a shock as she blasts the oncoming darkness, not knowing that it was you. It's only a small bit of damage, but it still stings in most of your nerves.

BEGIN TURN SEVEN

Manra looks at Rai'o as he gets upset, shrinking slightly, Perhaps I am, perhaps I am insane, ....Still. Killing leads to nothing but more killing. This path of death and destruction...I feel it only leads to pain and more pain, ... I'm no combatant, ... I know that, I've never involved myself in a conflict like this, still... I can't change what my heart feels so easily... protecting one's life ... I get that, that there are times when to save oneself or a loved one, for food as well, blood may have to be spilt. But this battle...it doesn't feel that they are valuing protecting their lives as much as most of them are wanting to kill. she thinks at him. I don't want to die; I don't think there are many who would want to die. Because living is a gift... you only get one chance to live. To steal that gift from another without a need to, I can't.. Because every life is precious...

I let go of my sword with my left hand, only gently holding it in my right. I bring the bottom of my right palm to my right temple, with the sword's cutting edge facing up and the sword itself at a 45 degree going downward. With a sharp motion I flick my sword to my side to fling the blood off of my blade before setting it into a ready position.
"Retreat now if you value your lives!" I shout out to the remaining bandits.
I'm probably going to have to explain my motives for this battle after it's done... But leaving them alive will just let them go off to kill even more innocent people...
