Daisy Grace | 2 | 1 | 7 | 1 | 1 + 5 (bonus) | 8

As the light grew, Daisy was able to stumble up to her feet. Watching in amazement as the air seemed to fill with talismans, she felt her eyes widen to see the effect they had on the beast. The darkness and the trees, hell, even the monster all seemed to shrink.

But before she could really consider what this all might mean, her own talisman leapt from her hand to fly at the monster, seeming to hit it before hovering close.

Like some weird force field, she thought as she watched. And while she was no expert (how could anyone be?), she thought that the little pieces of glowing metal were hurting the monster. And she couldn't find it in herself to feel bad about that at all.

Lawrence Dunn - Civilian - 5 +2 + 1
* Cherish and Yolie are not engaging the monster and as such are not rolling unless Lawrence is KO'd.

Lawrence shifted to blocking entirely a moment, offering Alex an arm up. As this pressed on, things changed. Grew. Evolved; the man's jaw was squared and he wasn't frightened. He'd rather challenge the thing and live another day than die. Especially with his daughter here. His free hand clenched down on the handaxe, and the man exhaled slowly, managing to stand, casually ducking aroiund the beast's strikes with a cold look.

Snort.


"Really, size? The higher it goes the further trhe claws." Lawtrence observed.

"Doesn't helpo the air bursts Dad!" Cherish resp[oinded swiftly, stumbling slightly as sahe tried to keep balance. She'd lovew to henshin right now, to throw Limosa's magic after the mopnster, but she settled for evasion, dancing a bit atround things whiule she side eyed Yolie, frowning. That girl was too used to this, seriously.

Yolie weas sus.

The blonde, for her part, locked her blue eyes with the beast, mind taking an odd mix of dancing around blows from killing youma, and then she was used to the outdoors as well. She dug her heels in and lety hewwrself shift to keepo balance, squinting againts the bursts of air, hissing low and cold and angry at the monster, fingers twitcvhing. She wantyed to kill it, to rend it to pieces, but Lawrtence had the Hand axe and she didn't. But she waSN'T SCARED -- SHE WAS MORE CONFUSED AS TO WHY cHERISH WAS LOOKING AT HER STRANGELY. sNORT.

Lawrence Dunn - Civilian - 5 +2 +1 + 8
Filling in laterunless Lawrence is KO'd.

Lawrence was having nonep/i] of this monster's dog s**t. Once assured the others were alright, he spun his hasnd axe once in hand, and moved suddenly, lunging for the monster to bring a proper strike against the beast. Frankly, he was tired and annoyed and fairly sure that it had harmed one of the girls, aside knocking Alex around, abd as such he was Done With This s**t, the axe slamming, sharp end first, into the monster roughly. His patience, iut was not present anymore.

Cherish blinked, watching her father lunge for the monster, holding back. Admittedly she wanted to help, which meant fighting, but.. She was unarmed and wagered a civilian wiuthout weapon might be easier oprey -- ok, most. She eryed Yolie again, and fdrowned. Yolie might be capable of doing damage, but instead the other blonde yanked her away from the fight to evade the last thrashings of the Thing, and Cheriush squeaked abruptly, blinking.

Yolie was tracking the thing with her eyes, following movements before ytanking Cheriush from harm's wayt and shifting to dodge a strike herself. There was a final push, but Yolie was more focused on survivAL and defense, tracking the monster with her eyes as she moved. For once... She was not only glad to be Dubhe but also related to her cousins, whom were rough play adsvocates growing up and still roughhoused with her -- sometimes, without hwer asking or wanting it. She hissed faintly, and then remained evasive. Surely, surely it was almost dead!

The fact not one, but two bits of metal went flying from her, still tied to the pieces of fabric from Athalia's uniform, should haven't made her laugh. But it did.

[more to toss in later in response to things]

Captain Seraphinite | 4 Roll 6


Seraphinite panted, leaning heavily on one of his swords as he knelt on the ground briefly. His fear was dissipating, but so was his energy with it. Gritting his teeth, he pushed himself back to his feet and even as the thing howled and cried, he slashed towards any vital point he could think of.

This needed to just end already.

[Aimee Lacroix, Civilian || Prompt 6]

As the darkness retreated before her talismans, Aimee stood back up on her feet. This was what it was, she thought, to fight and win. To stand before a horror--perhaps not quite from beyond the stars, but certainly from beyond mortal understanding--and push it back.

This was what it meant to be strong.

Watching the shards fly from other people and from the ground towards the beast, she grinned. She didn't have one of those, but she could move and pick up another improvised weapon--a hefty fragment of wood--and hurl it directly at the thing's chest, like some kind of spear.

They were going to kill this thing. Aimee believed that with her whole heart.
