Welcome to Gaia! ::

Willow stedies herself before pulling an arrow from her quither, as she ran at the mage once more, se threw the arrow at him, her scythe going for an upwards slash once she got close enough.

Everyone:
Due to a player request, I will be including the numbers you roll. If you find this distracting, tell me and I'll just put it in white text with the damage notes.

Leina:
{H/M: 4}
You miss! The mage snickers.

Layla:
{H/M: 10} {Mage DX 12: 10} {Blades d6: 4}
You hit! The Mage looks...happy?
"Oh, women are so CUTE when they're mad!" he says.
4 damage to Red Mage
Nyx:
{Charge roll: 3}
Your daggers do +3 for this turn!
{H/M: 20} {Critical Hit: +2 damage} {Mage DX 12: 20} {DX-2 for difficulty: 18}
The mage dodges, laughing hysterically.

Willow:
{H/M arrow: 13} {Mage DX 12: 2} {Thrown Arrow d4: 2}
Your arrow sinks into his side. Not much damage, but it's a start. Now to free your scythe:
{STR 14: 15}
You free your scythe and run at him!
{Scythe H/M: 20} {Critical Hit: +2 damage} {Mage DX 12: 4} {Scythe d8: 8} {Scythe critical damage: 10} {Life Check d6: 6}
You lop the guy's arm off! He scream in pain, but is not dead yet!
12 damage to Red Mage; does not die
Sand-Claw:
{H/M: 1} {Giant Crossbow d10: 6} {Sand-Claw DR: 2}
You hit your own tail! That'll teach you to fire while turning!
4 damage to Sand-Claw:
Everyone:
Mazurn attacks:
{H/M: 3}
He misses. Lyriana attacks:
{H/M: 20} {Critical Hit: +2 damage} {Mage DX 12: 1} {Blade d6: 3} {Life Check: 5}
She hits, but the mage is still alive! Lud attacks:
{H/M: 6} {Life Check: 6}
He misses. Talc swoops in:
{H/M: 3} {Life Check: 3}
And misses! But the strain of moving, and the fear of death, finally get the better of the mage: he finally DIES! Oh, and Apollo loses his 1HP for being on fire.
3 damage to Red Mage; dies

Everyone:
Now that the battle is over, perhaps now is a good time to: A, put out Apollo's clothes; and B, put out the burning trees? Also, once that is taken care of (or before, if you don't care about the fires), perhaps these Reds have valuables on them?

Nyx:
Lud comes up to you after the battle.
"Assbutt?" he says. "Was that the BEST you've got? PLEASE tell me that wasn't your best insult!"

I sheathe my daggers and take my mask off, putting it away. I look over my shoulder at Lud and give him a cocky grin. "It worked, didn't it? Besides, I didn't see you doing anything to confuse them." I walk back towards where Irene and Xiao are. I purposefully sway my hips and move my tail in a seductive matter to further distract Lud and prevent him from trying to argue the matter further. As I walk back, I stop by Apollo. "You might want to drop to the ground and roll to put that fire out."

Layla:
{WIS 15: 15}
Your holy magic is able to get rid of the flames with ease.

Apollo:
You are no longer on fire.

Nyx:
{CHA 10: 20}
Lud is reducing to a stammering mess due to your sexy movements. You hear Lyriana laughing at him. When you get to Irene and Xiao, you find Xiao holding what looks like one of the Red Archer's arrows and explaining how it works to Irene, who looks quite mesmerized by it.

Leina:
Next to his body is his magic staff, which channeled his power. When you go through his pockets, you find fifty copper coins and three trail rations. In his backpack, you find seventeen silver coins, a map, two more rations, and four magic tomes. Sadly, you can't read anything from them, as they are in an arcane language of some kind.
{WIS 13: 16}
You recognize a few of the characters as part of the Lupine Writing System. You recognize this because you killed an anthro wolf mage once, but not before finding out what some of their language looks like. Maybe Apollo can read them?

"It's safe now you two. Feel free to join us." I walk back towards the others... though I'm slightly peeved that I was unable to kill any of the enemies.

Willow bends down, closing the red mages eyes 'This guy, is this how twisted the Red army is? Hmm' She then starts helping Layla loot the bodies.

I take the general's weapon as well, along with some sort of indication of rank, so I have a couple of forms of proof to the elders that he is dead. I hold up the orb, examining it closely. "Hey, we didn't do half bad for this battle, though I'm not sure how well the money will hold up after a pretty heavy split. Speaking of split... I apologize for not doing it earlier, but I'll divide the cash from before."
