Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Whoa!" Shinratsu winced, and lost his footing, as something akin to a distant earthquake violently shook his trench. Surprisingly, on the upper level, he thought he heard Yokou swear. Hm... Shin tried to decide if his position in the ground was critical area or not. He would bet anything that the cause of the Hyuuga queen's dismay was none other than Senju Zephyr. Good thing he suspected something akin to this level might happen earlier on... He mused, observing the frozen sides of the trench.

"Shin! Just stop when the trench hits standard - there is no need to do more than that, do you understand?"

From below, Shin had to cup his hands over his mouth, to amplify his soft voice upwards. "Why? Is something the matter?"

Oh, something was the matter alright.

"Yes, thanks to a certain idiot..." Yokou muttered as she glared at the rather fragile seeming mountain face. "This whole side of the mountain won't endure much longer..." But wait...if Shin could...this trench could stop the surely incoming avalanche... However, was it even deep enough...? "Hurry up with the tunneling!"

Hurry up with the tunneling...? What was he, a mole? The veinpop at his temple however, Shin had to suppress...as now hestared at the solid bedrock below his shovel. He raised his shovel and crashed it against the surface. Yep. Solid.

Darn.

"Hey mole boy....pick it up.....you want to protect those important to you dont you?" Giglamesh thought that could bring up some encouragement He was nearly finished he just needed a little bit further to go. Giglamesh raised his head, he heard it even more clearly than youko, it was a fissure coming from the mountains peak. "Dam badger!" Giglamesh seemed to be crazy talking about a badger, but he was referring to the thing at the mountains digging for....well who knows what, it was just making large stone balls and throwing them down the cliff side. Each time it threw another the impact at the bottom was sending a fissure back to the top of the mountain peak. Giglamesh would here that eerie slow creeping crack, like the noise of a slowly snapping bone, untill finally it snaps. Well that snap didn't seem to far off.

He was thinking and didnt notice another rock coming down the hill and he was concentrating on the cracking in the distance. When he did suddenly realize how close it was giglamesh would he would in fast nearly instantaneous move, he would unsheathe kuroisan from his left side draw it back and literally jump trusting the blade at the rock it was his Hangetsugata: Myou kiwa sattou. It had such power the entire blade and his arm were inside of the rock before the damage would finally disperse exploding the rock outwards awasy from shin the hole and youko. Then with a quick twirl flingin the dirt off before slideing it back in to its sheathe.

((Hmm you are correct Proto. Nice trench!))

Amaya's joined fists crashed into the boulder shattering the rock into many smaller pieces that continued to tumble harmlessly down the mountain side. She was still only flesh and bone so the impact had left both hands tingling. She gave her fingers a bit of a wiggle and cracked her knuckles in anticipation of the next boulder that was sure to come. This time probably wouldn't be as simple as the last. And as if nature itself had read her mind, the next hunk of earth to come barreling towards her looked just as tough as the first, only it was moving faster. A single strike wasn't going to be enough to stop it.

Bracing herself, Amaya hurried forward using her own momentum and body weight to shove her shoulder against the boulder to make an impact and slow it down. Then she tightened her fists and pounded each one into the same spot that her shoulder had made the initial hit.

[[Rock 1: DC20/ 14(Roll) + 7(str. mod) = 21; HIT
1/10

Rock 2: DC30]]

The rock had started to roll with his arm stuck in it. He would roll him completely over, but just before he would hit the ground, he would thrust a knee into it. Causing it to crumble, but one of the pieces falling to smack him in the forehead. He would hold it for just a second, in pain. But he wouldn't have much time. He would roll down that hill a little to avoid being trampled by the next rock.

attack - 1d20+str(5)=15+17=32/30 destroyed
dodge - 1d20+tumble(6)=11/25 fail

3/10 destroyed

The two slammed into one another with a resounding crunch and Amaya instantly knew that she was going to have a large and unsightly bruise on her shoulder later. Dust kicked up from the bottom of her sandals as she forced her own strength against that of gravity. Or could that actually have been smoke from the friction of her sliding soles against the terrain? The boulder seemed to be slowing some, but she wouldn't be able to hold it for long. This was one of those odd moments where she wished she had a suit of light armor stashed away for certain special occasions. Or maybe just a pair of metal knuckles. Oh yes, that would definitely do the trick. But alas, she was going to have to do her best with what she had. And right now it was her bare hands. Keeping her left shoulder low against the sliding rock, Amaya used her right hand to form a tight fist and pound into the stone.

[[2/10
Rock 3: DC40 DC20
10(roll) +7(str. mod) = 17]]

((Hmm. Not sure what I was thinking. I blame it on the cold medicine...Apparently I've been raising the DC by 10 for each new bolder. I'm just gonna work around that little mistake and move on))

Another deep echo rumbled along the mountain side under the pressure of her knee, the boulder crumbling to harmless pebble-sized chunks. She braced herself, landing in a tumble before rolling back onto her feet and racing off to meet the next boulder. She broke out into a sprint, hoping to catch it before it rolled past her, but it didn't look as if she was going to make it. And to make matters worse, the boulder had suddenly hit a sharp rock protruding from the mountain side and pitched into the air a few feet past her own height. "Damn." Putting all she had into her legs, Amaya surged forward watching as the large hunk of stone began to descend back towards the ground. It looked like that "leap" it had made bought her a little bit of the time she needed to catch up. THere was a small problem however. The boulder was going to land right on top of her. Gritting her teeth, Amaya crossed her forearms in front of her head, much like she would do with her dual blades, prepared to strike at the moment of impact.

[[Rock 4: DC20/ 19(roll) + 7 (str.mod) = 26; HIT

4/10
Next - Rock 5: DC20]]

Her joined fists forced themselves through the boulder and a series of multiple cracks scattered along the rocks surface, halting its movement. "Oh for cryin out loud..." she complained. The strike should have blasted the rock into pieces, but it looked as if one last swack would get the job done. So she simply poked it and the boulder finally cracked apart into little dirt hunks.

[[4/10
Rock 5: DC20
2(roll) + 7 = 9
3(roll)+ 7 = 10 +9 = 19 ]]
