Welcome to Gaia! ::

Everyone:
All right, I'm jumping everything ahead about thirty minutes. Also, I'm going to say it now: Amadahy's player has pulled out of the RP, and this will come into play shortly. Assume that it is about noon and all of you are pretty much ready to move on, but are waiting for Amadahy and Hahai'i.
As you are all milling about, chatting, flirting, or whatever you happen to be doing, you all notice the Rings getting warm. The Spirits stop whatever they were doing and look to the sky: it is growing dark faster than you have ever seen it do so before. Suddenly, a blast of this darkness shoots straight at you all with a terrible sound. The Spirits create a multi-source energy barrier around you all, deflecting it. However, you're sure that you see a face in this darkness. The darkness goes into town. All is quiet. Seconds pass, becoming minutes. Finally, a deathly wail pierces the eerie silence. The dark mass returns. This time, it looks like a man. There are two rings on his hands: on the right is the Blue Ring, the binding of Hahai'i, and on his left is what looks like an...Orange Ring?! He has a maniacal look on his face.
"I am the victor of this round, Guardians!" he cries, holding up the Blue Ring.
From the darkness behind him, Amadahy is revealed to be either unconscious or dead (her eyes are closed, so it's hard to tell).
"I own her now!" the man cries. "And the Blue Ring is mine!"
"We will reclaim them both!" Jima'ei shouts suddenly, no longer his wistful self.
"I will kill you all!" he cries as Amadahy disappear into the darkness.
The Spirits return the Rings.



Everyone:
Combat will be performed in this manner: once it begins, everyone gets ONE post, then I will react to them all and give a battle report. If the enemies are still standing, it will go into a second round of combat. If they're down. but still alive, you have the option to attack or leave them. You can attempt a physical attack on him if you wish, or you may attempt a Ring attack. If you have any questions, please PM or IM me.

Everyone:
You have one target: the man who appears to have the Orange Ring, has stolen the Blue Ring, and has captured Amadahy. He does not attack yet.

Manra's eyes widen as the male figure appears wielding what appeared to be two Rings, and one was the one that Amadahy, the fairy had had. And though she had not well known Amadahy, she felt that what the male did was wrong. There was nothing that she felt could justify harming someone to take what they had. For power, was her only conclusion on why. Does he plan to harm everyone ....for the Rings? "..." The Rings shouldn't be forced; we have to stop him...from hurting anyone else.

Knowing that she still had work to go, she wanted to help as best she could, though, and decided to focus on using the Ring's power to slightly alter the male's vision so that hopefully he couldn't hit directly others. She wished she could be a bit more useful, but she had noskills she could think of that would be helpful.

I let out a shrill cry. Fi'hai! Lend me your power! We must get them back! I gather energy and shoot out a ball of fire.

Layla:
The elemental sight shows you that he has a lot of blue energy, as well as nearly twice as much energy of a color that Mashai'i has never shown you before.

Manra:
Despite your limited knowledge of the technique, your violet energy covers his eyes almost completely. You can just barely see his black right pupil through the violet energy. He cries out angrily.
"What is this?!" he bellows.
96% blindness inflicted.
Marco:
The Indigo Ring glows brilliantly. A moment later, the indigo energy forms into an ethereal hammer, the chain of which is attached to the Indigo Ring.

Kirino:
You aim easily enough. You get his neck lined up quite well.

Maxwell:
As you try to bring it closer to the group, the Blue Ring glows brightly. The water from the river comes up slaps you in the face, breaking your concentration.
9 damage to Maxwell
Atlanta:
The fireball is only medium-sized, due to having a relatively low charge, but it hits him directly in the face. He screams in pain and is unable to retaliate.
82 damage to enemy
Eleutherius:
You easily make the drill that you desire. However, as soon as it's completely made the man's Orange Ring glows brightly. As you fire the drill at him, it disintegrates.

Everyone:
Battle report from beginning of combat until now:
Moriah: No damage, elemental sight active
Manra: No damage, focused on maintaining blindness
Marco: No damage, has ethereal hammer ready for use
Kirino: No damage, one arrow is ready to fly
Maxwell: Very minor damage, concentration is broken
Atlanta: No damage
Eleutherius: No damage
Orange/Blue Bearer: Heavily damaged
BEGIN TURN TWO

Marco lunges at him, then swings his hammer at the man's head

Manra continues to focus on keeping the male's sight blinded and hindered. She was glad it seemed to be working as she wasn't sure how else using the Violet's powers would be helpful but by in distorting one's surroundings.
