FFD6 The Dicening, Group 2, To Kill The Beast - Page 21

Dracorion · 02-10-2011, 03:46 PM

Argath smiled as his spear smashed into the bee satisfyingly. He moved out of the way as another bee tried to put its stinger through him.

"Do I really need to add to the chorus of 'set it on fire'?" He asked Docus exasperatedly, as he lunged at another bee.

-----------------------
Peer pressure Docus into setting the tree on fire.
Attack Bee 6.

Geminex · 02-10-2011, 07:16 PM

Docus hissed through his teeth. "And antagonize the whole swarm? I cast fire, not firaga. I can set the tree on fire, but I have no idea what happens after that. They might all die, they might all come out and kill us. Do either of you have any idea what you're talking about?" He started preparing another spell, targeting one of the fresh bees. "I think, you should fall back, retreat to the Udrafresk. Show them you're not threatening the hive."

Fire on bee 2.

Krylo · 02-10-2011, 08:33 PM

Aiming to behead a bee, Caspin swings his blade up, but the little creature is just a bit too quick, and instead the knife skids across the exoskeleton of its underbelly. However, the blow causes it to lose balance, making it easy for Vera to finish it off, her dagger stabbing through its little body, eliciting a death buzz. Jade, too, manages to dispatch a bee, her blade smashing it into bee-paste, while Argath is forced to choose a new target, his spear swatting one of the large insects through the air with ease.

Meanwhile, Prasad takes aim amidst his two spell casting companions, his bullet impacting heavily with the guard's carapace, putting it on guard, which was good for it, as Fie's magics tore into it, but failed, this time, to kill the creature in its defensive stance. Meanwhile, of the surviving bees, one begins to shake vigorously, little bits of pollen floating up from the thin layer of fur that protrudes from its exoskeletal body, while the other two move to attack, one's claws raking over Vera's shoulder, while another fails to sting Caspin.

Repaying the favor of injury to his thief like companion, however, Docus lets free with a spell of fire, that leaves the creature charred but barely alive.

Unfortunately, just as the spell goes off, a more pertinent threat appears. The hive within the trunk breaks and shudders, the wood shattering from around it as a pair of massive sharpened legs burst forward, followed by a head the size of a hume's and then a giant pulsating body. When all is said and done, the hive lays shattered beneath the massive queen bee, who is easily the size of a hume, and had obviously been taking up most of the space. On her back holes can be seen in her carapace, burrowing deep within her, and her oviposter quivers, as though she is not through birthing her insectoid companions even now.

"Bzzzzzz bzz bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!" comes comes a loud sound, with some dancelike movements, that could be translated by those who know monster talk as, "You have killeed my childreen and destroyeed my homee. Your blood will feeeed my larvaeee in our neew neest."

She was not pleased.

"That's why we burn the hive. We've already antagonized them. But it won't work now." Argath replied matter-of-factly to Docus, as the queen bee emerged.

Quickly grabbing a potion from his belt, he downed it quickly in one go. It'd be rather bad if she decided to maul one of the mages so, shitkicking grin on, he turned to the queen. "Yeeah? Comee geet somee, if you can!" He buzzed back in her own tongue.

---------------------
Drink potion, taunt the bitch.

**McTahr** · 02-10-2011, 10:56 PM

Fie glanced at the Udrafresk, wondering how long it would hold out wounded like that. They'd best be(e) finishing soon.

Glancing back to the group of bees, he noticed something else of interest. One of the bees was shaking, bits of pollen spraying out from it. A rather bee-witching aerial dance, if he'd ever seen one.

"Guys, take down that one! It's about to heal the rest!"

His spell wouldn't make it in time. It'd be(e) better spent on one of the more lively targets. He channeled the winds, preparing to blast the queen before she birthed any more "complications" to their mission.

Caspin had a faint feeling of satisfaction as he knocked the bee he and Vera were on and they tag teamed it to the ground, he rode the wave and dodged another that took its sting his way, but his good times were shattered when he heard Docus DRONE on about how burning the nest was going to antagonize the denizens when they were already elbow deep in the stingy creeps. And then watched as he wasted it on another bee, before it all went directly to hell and out burst the queen. He smacked the hilt of his dagger against his forehead and let out a furious yell and turned to him, eyes burning with rage,

"Alright Docus how about you NOT FUCKING FAIL AT SOMETHING AND BURN THAT BITCH BEFORE I WRING YOUR NECK!"

What pretense had that hoity toity little midget think he had to question a Blue Mage in the matter of monsters!? Though speaking of blue magic he did catch Fie saying something about one of the bees casting, he caught view of it and felt even worse. He bum rushed the damn thing hoping to show it his stabs before it got done doing whatever the hell it was working on.

CelesJessa · 02-11-2011, 01:06 AM

"Idiot!" Vera cursed as Docus failed to set the hive on fire. Now the queen bee was out and they were no better off than beefore. Hearing Fie's warning, she followed after Caspin, intending on double-teaming the bee before it could cast it's spell.

----------
Help Docus double team that bee

Geminex · 02-11-2011, 07:10 PM

Docus groaned. Just his goddamn luck. He just hadn't felt it was worth the risk! He was only being reasonable! Logical! Clearly he was doing it right. The world was being stupid again. His fists clenched as insults were hurled at him, but responding in kind would... not be diplomatic. It was another lesson. Sometimes, you failed, and there were consequences. Losing control only made it worse. So he sighed, barked out a short "Understood!" and let the anger out into his hands, forming yet another blast of fire, aimed at the queen.

----
Fire on queen. Let's do this.

Krylo · 02-11-2011, 08:00 PM

Striking out with his Dagger, Caspin manages to catch nothing but air, and though Vera does slightly better her attack is not enough to kill, or disrupt, the quivering bee. Seeing the dilemma, however, the warrior Jade bravely steps forward and swats the creature through the air, its attempt at magic lost in the sudden disorientation of its unplanned flight.

Deciding that there are more pertinent targets to attack, Prasad draws his second pistol once more, and takes a bead on the queen bee, his bronze bullets smashing into her carapace with enough force to garner a clacking hissing sound from the queen's mouth that one can only assume is a cry of pain, while the two mages beside him prepare their spells. After quaffing a potion, his wounds knitting back together completely, Argath catches the Queen's attention turning toward the mages and tries to draw her back to him with a simple taunt.

Unfortunately for him, it works, and the Queen's massive sharpened front legs swipe into him with incredible force, gashing through his flesh. Meanwhile, her disciples have similar luck as Jade receives a glancing blow and a stinger load of poison into her shoulder, and the Royal guard moves to intercept those who would dare attack his queen, while the bee Jade had disrupted before begins trying to cast once more.

The two mages, finally finishing their spell, let off with a volley of magical fire power that leaves the carapace of the queen visibly darkened, but seems to have little more in the way of effect... other than enraging her, her head turning toward them once more--the pain coming from them meant more to her than petty insults.

**McTahr** · 02-11-2011, 08:24 PM

Glancing quickly between the various scenes, Fie noticed something even more troubling than the Guard Bee approaching, and far more worrisome than his original fears of the Udrafresk bleeding out.

It was healing. In fact, it was nearly fully healed already, including its arm. They had time for perhaps another volley on the bees before it would be done.

"Fellows! Listen and listen well! Forget who screwed up when or who tried to kill who! The mark has nearly regenerated itself fully, arm included, and could rise up again at perhaps any moment. If we do not work together and finish the fight in front of us, and prepare ourselves for another battle yet to come, none will be making it out alive, let alone successful."

Fie felt within himself. The flow of mana ebbed and waned. He could cure the wounds of a companion twice, and they would need it. But what was this? There was an inkling left. Just enough, maybe.

The winds howled once more.
