Shiks insult might have been a compliment for the way Shaheen`s smirk grew into a full blown smile, positively beaming by the time she laid her attack to the mass of shadowlings. As she made her way back towards him, only slightly worse for wear then before, her attention was momentarily taken by Fai, who was, for whatever reason, showering her with compliments. While she might have been confused about it normally, the comment he made appeared to be directed towards her weapon mastery and battle abilities, so for the moment she was merely content that her skills were aquiring the proper amount of attention.
"You haven't seen anything yet!" She called back to him, then turned towards Shik as though to gloat...
....When something suddenly smacked her in the side of the head, sending her stumbling, eyes widening in surprise. Had somebody. Just. Thrown. A Shadowling. At her?
Eyes narrowed as she straightened back up, and she punted one of the black creatures back towards Senga. He was just lucky that at that particular moment, she was out of rocks.
Oh, right. "Insufferable a**." She finally quipped, raising an index finger to jab into one of Shik's far too muscular shoulders. Wait, that was two words wasn't it? Oh well, she would blame the blow to the head for her inability to play the game properly.
Of course, he had to have just gone and killed a bunch of the shadowlings again, leaving her further behind in his dust. With a small growl, she threw herself back into the fray as well, her own dagger slashing left and right. Try as she might, however, it seemed as though the shadowlings were too quick for her, dodging and nipping at her legs. She just could not seem to strike at any of them with any consistant amount of accuracy, and her small growl turned into a much larger one, full of frustration.
This wasn't working, she needed a new game plan. As she foreced her way back out again, she focused her eyes on Tseng, Shikoba, and Nergui. They appeared to be having far more luck then she was, but were getting hit harder in return, making them too weak to attack in quick sucession. She then glanced back towards Senga.
"You! You should protect them while they attack." She then held up a finger towards him, as though to ward off any argument, though she knew she was likely to get it from him anyways.
"Just do it."

Briefly Mengyao wondered whether shooting a certain War horseman through the leg was considered "helping" - but he decided against it at the last moment, unwilling to lower himself to such a thing.
So instead he focused on killing more of the infernal creatures plaguing their current stay, several arrows whistling through the air as Mengyao drew his fingers back to shoot over and over again.

Arriving to the Lair proper to the sight of an infestation, Lan glared at the mass of black. Unacceptable. A dark horsewoman seemed to be one of the more... overrun. "Annoyances." Lan hissed, making her way to the horsewoman. "You'd think that we'd have wards against such thing..." She muttered, concentrating her fear to help heal.

It seems the horsemen make headway, the swams becoming small with each passing attack.
Several shadowlings seem to fizzle and recede and finally quiet. Is it over?
Before anyone can respond, the ground begins to shake a little, slowly, steadily, as thick black holes appear from the sides, from all angles, large yellow eyes beadily staring out.
What can be destroyed will only come back stronger
OOC: WAVE 2
BOSS BATTLE! WAVE 2!
- Shadowling defeat results are posted on the FIRST POST! - ALL CHARGES/ FEAR ATTACKS ETC ARE REFRESHED! - Every single time you take a turn, regardless of attack, defend OR heal, as long as you are taking a battle turn, you take 5 damage. - You can take EIGHT turns this round! This includes healing/ defending/ using a Fear attack/ special ability/ item as ONE TURN. - RP posts are UNLLIMITTTEDDD - Make sure you use the form in the OOC above to calculate everything properly! - Every time you FIVE DAMAGE you defeat ONE medium shadowling. Feel free to rp accordingly. (So basically total shadowlings defeated this round will be the TOTAL DAMAGE done this round /5, so make sure you keep a good tally of the total damage done!) - This round will last for APPROXIMATELY 24 OOC hours!
Their efforts seemed to have proved valiant. There was a quieting as shadowlings disappeared left and right. Although their forces were small, it seemed- for once- that the horsemen were winning.
Suddenly a new wave came upon them. Countless beady eyes focused in on her, and Ying felt herself grip her bow a tad too tightly. Were they getting ... bigger?
"Please be careful mister!" she asked of Shikoba. "I think they're um ... up to something."
She then looked over at Tseng and gestured him closer. "We must stick together, friend!"
Lan loomed nearer. "M-Miss Lan! Please be careful!!" It was all she could do for the horsewoman as more heartless approached them. Now- now she needed to protect Tseng and Shik.

Tseng stared as a bigger foe appeared. It wasn't large or anything, but it was definitely bigger than the ones they had been killing before.
"Lo and behold! A more worthy quarry!" he exclaimed before turning towards Ying and nodding whole-heartedly, "Yes! Stay by my side! We shall vanquish the shadows and send them from whence they came!"
He puffed out his chest and stood boldly as he said this. All before he notched another arrow and began to break off into a run. Unfortunately, he tripped.

The first thing Kiwi noticed when he arrived, was the teeming mass of shadowlings. Just like the one in his tent.
Then that means?! ... Well, he'd worry about that later. These things seemed to be disturbing the peace of the lair. And any threat to his clan was something Kiwi could not bear. His sickle appeared in one hand, and with a thrust he tossed it towards the darkness.
To his astonishment, the creatures only shirked fluidly to one side.

All that Khetyn could see was there were lot more of those shadowling in the main area than what had been in her tent. Where did they all come from and why are there here? Anyways they just need to just leave or die.
She could see other horsemen hitting the things and it was time that she help them out and heal those that needed it since this was the path that she had chosen in her dream, a strange one at that. Tucking in her wings tightly to her side since Khetyn didn't want them nibbled on. Looking around Khetyn spotted her Conquest friend and it look like her and the others near Ying needed some help.
"Hi, Ying," Khetyn said with a little wave as she got near the group. Smiling at Shik and Tseng and sent some of her FEAR to help heal some of Shik's wounds he gotten from fighting these stupid shadowlings.

[Entering Finally]
After an embarrassing display regarding his lack of proper fighting skills, lack of ability to save a room for being eaten, previously unknown streak of melodrama and continued theatrics upon proper completion of success, Thrain was feeling... Mildly put off. Thankfully he was able to reign himself back in to set his mouth into a grim line as he hustled to what he assumed was the gathering place of the Lairs. Since he'd only been here for a few days, he wasn't wholly sure on that front. Thankfully, his guess turned out mostly true and when he spotted a conglomeration of others all fighting, he switched directions and hurried over to them. Unfamiliar with everybody save one blonde War woman, Thrain took a breath and jogged closer to her. "Greeting Shaheen of War! I make no attempt to say your home is not infested with these... Things whatever they may be, but I do say that I tried. Oh, did I try."
And to show that he really did try, Shaheen look, no seriously he really did, he made sure to punch one that looked like it wanted to bite her leg. Instead it bit his hand. Booooooo. And since he was nearby, he noticed that another of the creatures looked awfully close to the small and brightly colored Famine boy. With a frown Thrain reached out and pulled the shadow up into his grasp, where it wiggled and kicked him and hurt a little. "Greeting Sir Famine. If you need more assistance let me know." Perfect introduction, right?

Miss matched eyes blinked as Lan came up to offer assistance, and Nergui patted the woman's hand as it left her. She was still injured, but she appreciated the small bit of healing the conquest noblewoman had offered. "Thank you, and I agree." Wards would have been lovely, but who was to say these creatures would have paid any attention to such things?
There was blood running in bright lines down one of the prietsess' arms, and she let her blade fade so she could press her palm against the bleeding wounds high up on her shoulder. For just a moment she let the others fight, and stood back. If she fell, she'd be useless to them. She needed a little more healing, but such abilities were beyond her skills.
A few new arrivals pulled the dark woman's attention, and she couldn't have been more pleased to see them. Not because of who they were, but because they had simply come. Though one was someone she held dear, and she offered the young famine warrior a strained smile. "Kiwi, you're presence has been missed." The thought reminded her of another figure that was absent, and she spared a moment to wonder about the guardian before realizing just who else had arrived with Kiwi.
Warriors of Death, kinsmen from their fallen isle. Her eyes widened as she stared after them. "Where in goddess name..?" One of the two, the blonde guardian, seemed familiar, and Nergui couldn't help but stare after him as he greeted the others.

A rather loud horsewoman arrives on the scene, brandishing a short sword in one hand, and a hunk of what you can only assume is meat in the oher hand. She stabs at the various shadowlings while taking mouthfuls of her apparent breakfast.
Wings unfurl from her back as she finishes the last bite of meat. Up into the air, she let our a rather loud battle cry. Its terrifying coming from the war woman, yet, oddly, you can't help but feel it filling you with a sense of hope.
Quote:

The war cry filled you with a sense of horseman pride, keeping you going no matter how down you're feeling. The next 3 posters my roll 1d10 to heal themselves. The amount you roll is the amount you heal for.
Neru stared after the latest new arrival, mismatched eyes lingering on the discarded meat shank.
How many new horsemen where there? And why did she suddenly feel.. better?

Hearing the battlecry, Tseng felt his spirits lift. Grinning towards the loud horseman, he let out a rallying cry of his own. It was a good day to fight.

Moments later, all the shadowlings pull back.
It is silent. You know, for someone who is supposed to be the Head Priestess who sees into the future, so on so forth, Medea has an awful habit of never appearing at the right place at the right time. The thought crosses your mind for just a second, just a second, before all is interrupted by a door.
A fine mist emitted from the door before it popped open, revealing-
Thousands of tiny blue-tinted shadowlings that begin to scurry all directions, mixing with the current ones. If the Sanctuary was looking a little cluttered before, decked out in thousands, hundreds of thousands of shadowlings, one could only imagine what that would look like doubled. It was hard to even find a space to look at that wasn't crawling and moving in a mass of its own.
The blue-tinged shadowlings that emerged do not seem as threatening as their counterpart. While they aren't prone to attacking, they are still a nuisance, running about and destroying everything else inanimate they can see.
It's possible the Horsemen just got a bad case of invasive pestilence.
You wonder what the Famine clan has been up to these past few moons...:
Yeah, everyone wonders about that one.
OOC: ATTACK OF THE UNVERSED!
ATTACK OF THE UNVERSED!
- WHENEVER you do any damage, you cannot calculate the damage yet. Instead, immediately after the damage turn you MUST roll 1d6. If odd, you do double the damage! If even, you do half the damage. THEN calculate total damage accordingly. So basically instead of posting boss's updated damage on your attack turn, you have to roll the dice and gamble it out and then post the boss's updated damage. - You can only still attack 5 turns this round, so if you've already taken a turn, this effect is effective for the remaining turns + all rounds ONWARDS
Not wanting to waste this moment, Tseng quickly went back onto the offensive. Though just as he did this, he noticed some more strange creatures about. What in Halloween had Famine been up to? The Conquest horseman had a greater inkling that they may be behind all of this, but he didn't say it out loud.
