FFD6 The Dicening, Group 2, To Kill The Beast - Page 20

**McTahr** · 02-07-2011, 11:27 AM

Fie listened to his ally. Buzz off? That was cheesy.

It was hard not to let the mood take you though. Fie nodded to Docus and began focusing his magical energies into his staff. His own magical ability was best saved for healing, now.

"Everyone ready for a spell-ing bee?"

Standard action Aero on Bee 2.

Taking careful aim, Prasad fires a pair of bullets, that strike one of the bees chasing them down, the creature faltering slightly, just before Docus's staff explodes in his hands, the raw energy from the explosion flying directly toward the injured insect. Its fried corpse collapses to the ground before it can reach the midget trio. Fie has a similar experience, his own staff blowing apart in a gale of wind that continues through the other bee heading toward them, shredding apart its wings and leaving it to fall on the ground, nothing but a corpse.

Across the field Jade swings her massive weapon and, somehow, manages to connect with one of the buzzing insects, sending it for a loop, though leaving it intact. Her skill is obviously great, but the warrior Viera is outnumbered and still takes a glancing blow from the claws of one of the bees buzzing about her angrily. Help is arriving, however, as Vera, Caspin, and Argath all arrive, the latter with his spear point smashing against the bee that had just clawed Jade, even as another bee, larger than the rest, rises from the hive, obviously irritated with Jade.

Perhaps her taunt had worked too well?

Meanwhile, a single Dingo leaps off into the woods and out of our lives forever... but not out of our hearts.

Caspin glared in anger at the bees, his mind trying to figure out why in all the good taste in the world he was so far away. It wasn't long till he was sprinting, then leaping, gliding across the ground as his strides grew to ridiculous length he was finally closing into range and lifted up his dagger, gripped in both hands as he leapt up and descended on one of the buzzing bastards,

"Bee killed you apollen creeps!"
--------
Caspin uses terrible pun, melee attack combo.

Geminex · 02-08-2011, 07:20 PM

Docus let out a short yell of surprise as his staff was blasted apart by the energy. His staff! He'd had that for years! His father had granted it to him! He had trained with it, channeled his power through it, imbued it with his first spell! And now it was just... gone? His fists clenched as he watched the bees and fire rose up in him again. He was exhausting himself, he knew. But he was not yet depleted. He raised a hand, fingers splayed at the bee that had just left the hive and was now threatening Jade. He was not a happy camper right now.

"Bee-gone!"

-----
Cast fire (slow action, sadly, adieu poor staff) on the Guard Bee

POS Industries · 02-08-2011, 10:39 PM

"Bee killed you apollen creeps!"

And so it was that Prasad, fur standing on end, ears laid back, eyes wide and pupils contracted into slits, found himself reflexively taking aim at Caspin, revolvers shaking in his hands as he dealt with the sudden combined onslaught of agony and rage.

"That... was... awful!" he hissed, a trace of foam forming at the edge of his mouth.

Fingers slowly squeezing down on the triggers, he managed to stop himself at just the last second, forcing himself to face away from the blue mage and falling to his knees, breathing heavily as he struggled to regain his composure. He knew, deep down, that murdering a man for his lack of punning proficiency was wrong. It was against his nature to do it. It had to be. But... would any jury convict him?

But it was no matter. The moogle rose once more to his feet and caught sight of Jade's predicament. Taking out a bee at close range was one thing, but from this distance he realized he might need a bit more precision and holstered one of his guns, taking the other in both hands and steadying himself, getting the best aim he possibly could before firing.

----------
Holstered off-hand gun and fired on Bee 3.

**McTahr** · 02-08-2011, 11:22 PM

Fie wiped the splinters from his hands. This entire mission seems to be riddled with complications, while the Udrafresk itself was an extremely simple mark. In addition to not even needing the soft, he'd now need another staff. He'd have to see if Prasad knew anything about easing any grudges the fates might hold against them.

Oh well. There were more pressing matters at hand.

"What a buzz kill. It looks like we'll have to resort to plan bee, Docus. Give these fellows a good stinging so they'll beehave."

Fie drew upon the skies once more, gathering and spinning. It wasn't much different from winding up the threads for the tailoring work he did for himself, except that he was manipulating the winds themselves instead of cotton. Soon enough he had the force necessary, and prepared to release it on the largest and most threatening bee.

Aero on Guard Bee.

Krylo · 02-09-2011, 07:14 PM

His aim paying off, Prasad's bullet slams through the head of the bee he had targetted, dropping it to the ground, while Jade and Vera each strike heavy blows against another pair of the angrily buzzing creatures, leaving both near dead. Unfortunately, Caspin can't follow the line of awesome, as the bee he had attempted to attack nimbly dances about the edge of his knife while Docus and Fie both prepare for a magical onslaught against the larger bee which had just exited the nest.

Injured and on the verge of death, two of the bees cry out for help, being answered by three more bees from the hive, one of which is another Guard Bee. It is questionable how much of a worry this is, however, as the original Royal Guard Bee attempts to claw at Vera, only to find itself easily outmanuevered, and then blasted into nothing more than dust as Docus and Fie's magic once more combine against its body. Argath, not to be outdone by the female, also nimbly avoids a smaller bee attempting to poison him with its stinger.

Caspin cursed under his breath as he missed the damn thing. He lifted his knife up and took a note of the surroundings. More bees, and hell STRONGER bees kept coming out of that tree that big gorilla had flung at them. It wasn't that he hadn't noticed the nest before, it was that he was a bit more aware of how much of a threat it was, he turned his head to the magic midgets and let out a yell,

"They just keep coming! Docus you fry that fucking hive or we're not getting out of this one with our lives."

Simple way of getting rid of that problem was forcing the rest into a massive burning deathtrap. Bees nested close so they would already be in a bad way trying to escape, he was sure most of them would die, and even if they didn't they weren't making any leeway just letting it be. He threw his dagger southpaw and looked to the bee that Vera had damaged a bit, he might have missed that last one but even if he had to pick off the cripples he was getting some of that ass. He rushed it and threw a slash into the air, hoping to beehead the honey vomiting asshole.

CelesJessa · 02-09-2011, 10:14 PM

"Burn the damn tree already!" Vera snapped, agreeing with Caspin. She had been lucky so far with avoiding the little buzzing monsters, but there were more where that came from, and from the looks of it, her team wasn't doing so hot. She wasn't getting that Udrafresk's body anywhere on her own.

----------------
Keep attacking those beeeeees

Arhra · 02-10-2011, 07:51 AM

Jade bent forward, one hand on the hilt of her sword, the other hand over the end of the cross guard to steady it. Locking the sword in close to her body, she had it projecting forward like a lance.

She lunged at Caspin.

The Viera missed, barely. She clipped him with her shoulder as she shot past, aiming for the bee she'd already wounded.

But in that frozen instant as she passed him, she glared at him. The mix of anger, pity and disgust in those green eyes confirmed beyond any trace of a doubt it had been quite deliberate.

No one deserved to say a line like that and live.
