Songtao watched gator-Chris warily. He seemed to wear out regularly, perhaps not used to his bulk. She hadn't a lot of experience with live alligators, so she wasn't sure if it was normal for alligators to vacillate between liveliness and fatigue. The reptile eyed the last person to strike him, the Blond Brit, for a long moment. More than enough time for Songtao to step in again and block the attack easily.

"Do you want to try it, sir knight?" Izzy palmed another cure, and lobbed it as hard as she could at the gator. It had closed its mouth at an inopportune time though, and the dusty swiss roll splatted against its eyes. The gator didn't like that, and thrashed and snapped its jaws, but did not turn back into a human.
"You see?" Rob shouted as he rubbed his ankle. "You're not getting the bloody cures where they're supposed to go -- IN THE GREAT BLOODY MOUTH!" Furious with himself, with Izzy, with everything, he swung angrily at the gator. Once more his sword just bounced off Chris's resilient hide.
"Oh, COME ON!" he yelled, slamming his sword into the swampy muck.
Rob's HP: 36 - 0 = 36 (Rob is 100% protected by Songtao!) Dmg: 0 AGAIN *slams head against wall* Chris's HP: 81 - 0 = 81 Chris is asleep!
Songtao gritted her teeth. She was just as frustrated as her comrades, though she knew losing her temper wouldn't help. Not at them, of course, but more frustrated at herself than anything else. If she was tall and strong, maybe she could had grabbed the lizard and kept his jaws open while Izzy shoved a cure down his throat. For now, she decided to protect Izzy.
Chris was feeling perky again, so Songtao flashed sun off her shield a couple times to get his attention, then bracing herself for the inevitable charge. Teeth scraped across the metal shield. Songtao's toes dug into the ground slightly, but she held firm.

Izzy threw another cure - not at Chris though, but at Rob. It wasted a cure, but it was hella satisfying to see it smear across his face.
Rob looked up just in time to see the incoming swiss roll. Unable to move fast enough, it smeared across his face messily. "What the bloody ********?!" He glared at Izzy, then turned his gaze to Songtao. "You wanna give it a go?"
Rob's HP: 36 - 0 = 36 Dmg DEFENSE: 3 Rob protects Songtao 100% Chris's HP: 81 - 0 = 81 Chris is asleep for one more turn!
The Demeter Chosen nodded, pulled one of the jellied congee out of her cargo pants while Rob kept Chris distracted. She never really excelled at throwing things accurately, but she hadn't had time to make extras and practice, either.
Pursing her lips, Songtao popped the congee out of it's plastic cup and tossed the jello shot-esque food stuff overhand at Chris. She was aiming for his open mouth, which of course closed just in time to splatter across his snout.
Figures.

"I don not think I want to try again," said Songtao, disheartened. "Not yet." She did want another chance, but something more strategic than throwing flowers at the lizard. She caught Rob's gaze for a moment then added, "You try."
Scrabbling in the dirt alerted Songtao to Chris' renewing movement. She turned back to the reptile quickly, just quickly enough to intercept the blow. Songtao grunted. Maybe next time she could figure out some way to pad her forearm.

"Give me that," Rob growled. He stormed over to Izzy and snatched a swiss roll from her hand, not bothering to wipe the remains of the one she had thrown at him off his face. Turning to the gator, he poked Chris's mouth with the tip of his sword. The turned Chosen obligingly opened his mouth with a hiss. Now was Rob's chance. He'd show Izzy how it was done.
As Songtao and Izzy moved into position, Rob tossed the cure into Chris's gaping toothy maw. It landed on the gator's tongue; Chris snapped his mouth shut, almost as if he wanted the cure. With a shudder the big reptile transformed before their eyes back into Chris, naked as a jaybird and covered with swamp gunk.
"Crikey." Rob then turned to Izzy, a smirk on his face. "That is how it's done."
Rob's HP: 36 - 0 = 36 (Rob is defended 100% by Songtao and Izzy!) Dmg: 4 CHRIS IS CURED YAY
Songtao's shoulders slumped in relief. She wasn't sure how much longer she could have handled. While Rob helped Chris make himself decent (she was too tired from the last week to even try to ogle), she looked around for any of Chris' possessions. Instead she found another one of the magic flowers. She shrugged and tucked it into a pocket. At least she could try to make more cures later.
Rob strolled over to the newly-transformed Chris with a grin, peeling off his t-shirt as he went. "Here you go, mate," he grinned as he tossed it at the naked Chosen. "Maybe you can tie it round your nethers til we can find your clothes. Welcome back."
Looking down in the muck, he caught a glint of something. He reached down and his fingers touched what felt like glass; he retrieved what seemed to be a bottle of wine. Not a cheap one either, by the look of the label. Rob thought for a split second about drinking it -- he sure could use a drink. But given how the others had become animals after consuming food and drink from around this place, he decided against it. Maybe he'd take it back to the Prytaneum and have some tests done on it, to see if it was the wine itself or some kind of magic.
Rob found a bottle of fine wine!

Misha shook her head and shifted her weight gingerly. The fight hadn't gone the way she had expected it to but it was over now and Chris was alright. Well, alright and covered in mud and completely naked. Which, she had to admit, was more attractive than it had any right to be.
Standing up, she stretched out her limbs one by one. Then she picked her way to the fallen Chosen, paws daintily lifting and lowering as she tired to find the driest bits of ground. Before she could reach Chris, however, she spotted another one of those funny white flowers sitting in the muck. She turned her steps in that direction and extracted it. She gave it a quick shake to get rid of the excess mud. Then she twisted and squirmed until it was tucked into her necklace with the other one.
They had to be good for something, right? 1 Moly Flower
