SWEET VICTORY! Danny was running out of options. She could hear the vine snap behind her, and she knew that plan was out. Well, it could be worse. The mannequin caught up to her, and tripped her, tackling her to the ground once more. She kicked it, but it just recoiled for a moment and then kept coming at her. These things just didn't stop. It was like clockwork. Tick, tick, tick and then you had to fight again. You got a moment of rest, and then-
Alright, it was go time.
Danny was panting and breathing rather heavily, leaning on her knees with her brown, dirty hands. She was in no shape to keep running, and definitely not to set another vine trap. She just didn't have the time. Time, time, time. Danny picked up a branch off the ground and turned around to face her enemy. She would go down fighting, that was for sure.
It was almost sort of slow-motion, watching the thing run towards her. Scary, because it looked very torn up, but still Halloween. It looked like a pathwork that was falling apart. Danny had helped Moure sew himself up, but this was just ... creepy. It was like watching Moure coming towards her with bits and pieces falling out- oh and he was trying to attack her. Can't forget that important detail. The full realization of the dummy was upon her, and she didn't like it.
She gripped her branch a little tighter, wielding it like a maceball bat. The position was just natural to her after playing for so many years. She counted that as a blessing. Once the dummy reached her, she just started wailing on the poor thing. It was a home run if you'd ever seen one. She kept going until she realized the dummy wasn't moving anymore. Absolutely still. It wasn't chasing her, wasn't defending itself. Just laying there, doing nothing.
Shiiit. Did she break it?
"UHHH. MISS HORSEMEN, I THINK I BROKE IT," she shouted into the forest. Surely one of the horsemen heard her? Maybe it was just what happened when you beat it. Okay so maybe she wasn't that smart- but she took it down, right? That had to count for something. She looked around and said, "I MEAN UH ... I WON ... RIGHT?"

Riley arrived bright and early to class, ready for another day of training. She was happy to see that today's class would involve actual battle, and the sight of the mannequins did not disappoint her as the teacher may have thought they would. She simply waited for a mannequin to target her, and as soon as it began to run in her direction, Riley was off like a bullet, heading into the forest.
Use the forest, she'd said. Simple enough.. Riley picked up a rock and swiveled in place, throwing the large blunt object directly at the mannequin's head. The hit had the doll on the ground, swerving to right itself. It gave Riley a chance to put some distance between her and the mannequin, and a chance to plan.

What other weapons could the forest offer her? Her run had turned into a jog now that the mannequin had fallen behind, and she afforded herself a moment to look around. The trees were good for hiding, or perhaps branches for poking, but she was looking for projectiles..
The whirring of motion signified the sudden arrival of her mannequin, hurling itself directly at her. She had no time to think, and bent down to grab the first thing her hands could find, a handful of dirt. She threw it at the mannequin as she dodged, but the dirt missed completely and she was leveled by the force of the mannequin's slam into her body.

If only because she had no time to prepare, Riley chose to use what already worked, and found herself another rock. She was on the floor, beating away at the mannequin with the first rock her hands fell upon, until finally it leaned off of her and she delivered a walloping blow against it's head. It teetered and fell to her side, allowing her to crawl out from under it and begin her run anew. This time, she had no luxury of time, and she knew she would have to think on her feet.HP: 35 Opponent's HP: 4 Weapon This Round: Rock Effect/Damage This Round: Subtract 2 from the total of the remaining dice to get the damage you do to the mannequin.

Jove sulked into class the next day, tail low, ears drooping, his failure the previous day still fresh in his mind. He didn't want to meditate again... He REALLY didn't want to meditate... But his down mood didn't last long. Just being in the forest, the scents and sounds, they all soothed his sore thoughts. The little wisp was always more at home in the forest, and this jungle was no exception.
When the class began, he began to wonder. Was that why they were having such a rough go of things? They didn't use everything they had at their disposal? And how many times had they struggled with their FEAR anyway? The pup had already been in situations where his FEAR and natural ability had been unreliable, stifled. But if he could learn to use the land to his advantage he could-
Suddenly there was a mannequin lunging towards him, and the pup freaked out and bolted into the woods. He was fast, zipping between trees, hurdling giant roots, but this thing made of magic and leather, it held it's pace.
Stumbling, Jove put his hand down to steady himself. And realized how loose the earth was. It gave way under his fingers, and gave him an idea. Did the thing have eyes? He flung the handful of dirt at his pursuer, and dashed deeper into the forest.

It wasn't long before the pup heard the sounds of the mannequin on his trail. How fast was that thing anyway?! He didn't know many students who could have kept up to him, he was a wisp, and running away was even more natural to him than breathing. Something struck him in the back, and Jove felt fright leap up into his throat. It really was attacking him! He had to fight back, he couldn't shake it off like he could most other pursuers. Fighting down the panic, Jove noticed a young tree, just starting to spread it's leaves next to the wide base of a moss-covered giant. It had one limb sticking out at just the right angle... He ducked under the stick, and pulled it back as hard as possible, only letting it go with a loud WHAP as the mannequin came into view. Without stopping to see how it went, Jove renewed his pace.

SWEET VICTORY! And finally, after what seemed like an hour's worth if simply running, Riley saw something in the distance that could end her trouble once and for all. She hopped forward, her arms and legs bending as her claws dug into a tree and climbed it like a cat, until she perched precariously on the thin branch high above the treetops. The mannequin reached her quickly, standing at the bottom of the tree and waiting. She knew it had no stamina issues - it would stand there and wait for her forever. But she had no intention of giving it that chance, and instead she hopped up higher on the tree and began to bash the branch with her foot. One, two, three kicks later, the branch came crashing down - and the beehive attached, with it. The hive slammed right onto the mannequin's head, and the doll dropped limp and lifeless on the floor, ending her test.
She found a few branches to swing onto, to leap from one tree to the next, instead of falling down in the midst of an angry bee mob. Once she was safe, she dropped to the ground, and ran back, exhausted and victorious. She briefly passed the mannequin, and kicked some dirt at it on her way out.HP: 25 Opponent's HP: 1 - 1 (bees) = 0 Weapon This Round: dirt Effect/Damage This Round: n/a Bonus Mechanics: used Previous Posts: 1 2 3 4

The thing's footfalls once again arose at Jove's heels. He only had to glance behind him and it was right there. RIGHT THERE. REACHING FOR HIM. Jove panicked as the lifelike hand grabbed the fluff of his tail, attempting to pull him backwards, to keep him from getting away. And for a moment it did, the pup was jerked back and landed on his butt. He grabbed another clump of earth, but in his panic his aim was off, and it scattered harmlessly off the mannequin's shoulder. There was a sharp pain in his tail... Had the thing broken it? The little ghost yelped and struggled, and finally got his feet back under him, lunging out of the mannequin's grasp to leave it with only a tuft of evaporating ghost fluff clutched in it's fist.

Once again on his feet and running, Jove struggled to calm his mind. But the pain was still sharp, and the panic that always arose while being chased threatened to overwhelm him again. He had to get away, yes, but just running wouldn't do it! He had to think. Had to stay calm. Think. Jove tried to focus on the terrain around him. The large, broad leaves and tangled undergrowth, the thick vines dangling here and there from the giant trees. He splashed through a small puddle, and heard the splash of the mannequin behind him. Not good, not- No, he had to think. Giant roots, hollow log... He almost dove into it on instinct, catching himself at the last minute. If he got himself cornered he would never get out! He whipped around a tree, and jerked back when he came nearly face to face with a bees nest. And he was about to keep running when he realized this was exactly the kind of thing he should be thinking about. Suddenly he was grabbed by the arm, tightly and painfully, and the pup did the first thing that came to mind. He swiped the bees nest right off the trunk of the tree with his free hand, ignoring the angry hum of insects, and smashed it into the face of his assailant like a writhing, stinging pie.

SWEET VICTORY!Jove only stumbled back a few paces, the mannequin approaching relentlessly even though it's face was covered in small stinging insects. It had somehow become the sole target of the bees wrath. But that didn't stop it from advancing and kicking the wisp to the ground. The pup gritted his teeth against the pain, and reached for... a sturdy stick. Right... Under... His... Fingers! Just as the mannequin bent down, it's face still full of bees, Jove brought the stick up as hard as he could. And then it slumped lifelessly to the ground, pinning the pup under it's bee-ridden body. He had success. Now to just... get back to the group.

Despite the fact that the enemy they were facing was reserved for their fledglings, the black dog was looking forward to today's class. Hands on learning experiences were always the most enjoyable. Especially when they were taking place within the woods.
Here the black dog was more at home and though he had never really looked for anything within the forest to use as a weapon, it didn't sound too difficult.
SNAP
The sound of twigs snapping behind him and the following crashing of foliage let the black dog know the mannequin was there.
He had to give them credit. For lifeless dolls, they were quick on their feet when activated.
Weapon... weapon.... Oh! this maybe?
Dropping low to the ground, the black dog snatched up a sturdy stick. It wasn't much, but it was thick enough to deal maybe some damage before it broke. That and the jagged edges where twigs had snapped off would add for a greater affect.
Satisfied with his find, he turned just in time to see the mannequin lunging for him. Yes. Definitely quick and it hit with a heavy fist.
The first strike felt like a sharp pain running up his arm. It wasn't the worst he had, but if it continued hitting like that, the black dog wouldn't last long. With that in mind, he smacked the stick over the creatures face; making sure to drag the jagged edges across where the eyes would have been if its face wasn't featureless. Not that it really mattered now. But if it were a real human, he was sure it would hurt a lot more.

Muka took off into the woods. He wasn't known for his speed on his legs but his humanoid form did have long strides so he was able to have a minute before the mannequin was closing in. The strix grabbed the first thing he found, a stick, and wheeled on his attacker.
Now to say it was a simple stick was an understatement. It was more of small sword size. The strix used his talons to shave just a bit off of the end at the last second. When he mannequin found him he stabbed wildly at it. The animated leather figure was torn up, pausing in it's chase to try and block the blows.

As predicted the stick snapped after its first use; breaking in two as he dragged it off the mannequin's face.
"Yep, thought that might happen." He said, dodging another swing of its fist by jumping back and skidding in the dirt and leaves. Though not before he managed to rip the vine from the tree.
"Uhh jeez! What can you use this for...?" He thought aloud, looking the vine in question over briefly, only to jump back again.
He couldn't do much with it in such a short amount of time, he knew that much. But it also didn't occur to the black dog to run off a little and set up a trap. Nope. Instead, he leaped onto the mannequin's back and wrapped it tightly around its neck in an attempt to strangle the blasted thing.
It sort of worked?
The mannequin sagged to its knees a little, but before he could do anything else to harm it, it reached back with its crudely made arms, catching the black dog by his arm and throwing him off and into a near by tree.
Because just hitting the ground wasn't painful enough.

Muka fled again after he'd adequately stabbed the mannequin. He could hear it's creaking leather closing in behind hum but the strix was still holding his trusty stick. He spun and struck out with it, knocking the dummy in the head. Unfortunately the magical construct seemed to learn as well and was more prepared for the blow than the owl-boil expected.
