FFD6 The Dicening, Group 2, To Kill The Beast - Page 25

Docus grinned. People weren't listening as well as they could, but finally, finally... things seemed to be going their way again. At least they had poison, now, they could see how the queen liked a taste of her own medicine. Or... maybe they didn't? In a rapid exchange he saw the queen do... something to Caspin, Caspin plunge his dagger into the venom sack, Vera steal it from him and then he saw Caspin turn, turn towards him with a poisoned dagger in his hand an an eerie smile on his face.

Docus, for all his diplomacy, wasn't great at empathy, he frequently found it hard to tell what others were feeling. Not thinking, he was good at that. But feeling. It was one thing he'd have to work on. But despite this self-confessed weakness, one look into Caspin's eyes was enough to tell him that something was wrong. The Queen had spit something at him, something... sticky, and there was an enticing smell in the air. And Caspin's expression was strangely similar to that of Gloria, when he had... He shook his head. He hadn't known better, that had been an abuse of power and he should be ashamed of himself. No use dwelling on that. But one thing he did take from that unfortunate episode was acute knowlege of what a charmed individual looked like, and Caspin's expression matched. He gulped. Caspin was charmed, armed with a poisoned weapon, and coming straight towards them. He couldn't let him reach Fie, he realized. Fie was their best hope right now.

Docus' mind raced, but, somehow, he already knew what to do. He couldn't just recognize charm. He was good at it. And, unless he was mistaken, the Blue Mage would be vulnerable to him. Time to put that to good use. He licked his lips, partly nervous, partly just to improve his appearance, made an effort to straighten up, and, eyes wide and unthreatening, called out. "Caspin! Caspin what's wrong? Are you allright?" Making sure to maintain eye contact, trying to relax his facial muscles as much as possible (though raising his eyebrows, that always helped), he slowly started walking towards Caspin, hands held out to his sides, palms open and facing towards Caspin. A classic gesture of unthreatening surrender, and, for once, it helped that he was three feet tall. His mind raced. He had the body language down allright, he hoped, but what to say, what to say... He briefly grinned. "Caspin, what are you doing? We need you fighting!" His voice was soft, again, non-threatening. This wasn't the usual pattern, standard procedure was to couple the body language with something more authoritative to assert mental dominance, but that probably wouldn't work well. So, non-threatening it was, and, as Docus pleaded, he felt... something flow into his voice, somehow stood straighter, felt his eyes sparkle, his voice become strangely melodious. This was what he had trained for.

"Caspin! ('Frequent repition of an individual's name will convey a sense of urgency without surrending dominance over the situation') Snap out of it! I'm sorry I ignored you before, Caspin, I was wrong. Come back, Caspin. Fight with us! Together we can win. And then we can cook them. Let's cook them together, Caspin. Come on, we need you." He gulped. That was... allright, it would have an effect on Caspin's already-addled mind, he hoped, but it wasn't enough. He needed a coupe de grace. And he knew just what to do. Didn't like it, though.

His expression shifted from scared and unthreatening to just slightly fliratious, his lids half-lowering, eyes going from fear to longing, body language becoming much more inviting. He hoped he wouldn't regret this.
"Caspin. We need you. And I need you."

The things he'd do for the team.

Steal Caspin's heart.

**McTahr** · 02-22-2011, 12:08 AM

Poison. More poison. Just great. Give it a minute and the Udrafresk'll have time to wake up and reconfigure their pasty bloated corpses into mallets and such so he(she?) and the Queen can play Tarut Tennis. Already the sickening "THWACK" as he was launched back and forth over the remains of the hive, his tiny hat jutting out between a complete mess of gore. Somehow in this intensely vivid reverie, the queen was even swinging a Jade mallet with her claws, and it wasn't made of the gem.

Fie pulled his hat down tighter over his head, trying his best to somehow be anywhere else, or at least think about anything else.

Or! Or the queen could use their mangled and broken bodies for a warm festering breeding ground, bringing about some kind of super man-eating bee that lives only to sate its lust for flesh and bone! Fie could already see them descending on the academies in hordes. Thousands of terrified Tarut fleeing as they see their comrades impaled and turned into Tarut-on-a-sticks! The heads of the bee legions were even wearing "trophies" from the remains of their old hives. How sentimental.

Damnit. They hadn't taught him how to deal with this in his training. Walking around and healing people on short pilgrimages didn't prepare you to watch the situation go from bad to worse to suicide. They couldn't reliably hurt her, her children were spitting some kind of hell venom at them, Caspin was looking for a little Tarut filet, he was out of useful mana for healing, and the Udrafresk was going to wake up any minute!

Berlion's voice intoned in his mind once more.
"Calm down. Do your duty. Back to the basics."

He was a white mage, damnit.

Fie took a deep breath and pushed his hat back up. He hesitantly took a few steps towards Vera before trying to dash his way around Caspin to get to her.

Krylo · 02-22-2011, 03:07 AM

Perhaps it was the 'I' need you, or perhaps Caspin simply couldn't understand the words through the royal jelly induced haze, but Docus's attempt to break his charming failed, and he still took his chance as Fie dashed past, the dagger slashing through the Tarut's arm, doing little more than superficial damage. Of course, the white mage couldn't take much more of that.

Meanwhile, Prasad took aim and blasted apart the injured Larva, while Jade continued smashing her fist into the queen's eye, blinding her, and, without sight, her attempt to charm more of her opponents with the royal jelly flinging from her mouth hole proved fruitless.

Her remaining two larva, however, had better luck, their spit splashing against Argath and Docus both, and absorbing into their blood stream.
-----------------------

Arhra · 02-22-2011, 07:02 AM

"Hold her still so I can shut her up." Argath told Jade, applying poison to his spear. "But try not to get yourself spat upon. The rest of them would be pissed if I had to put you down."

"Don't get cocky!" Jade snapped. She was the one fighting an giant insect with BARE HANDS.

Bare hands finally smashed up the Queen Bee's remaining compound eye, blinding the monster. But the situation had gotten bad.

"Take care of this." Jade told Argath offhandedly, leaving him to deal with the Queen Bee on his own.

Tail twitching, she stormed towards where Caspin was menacing Fie, curving slightly to pass by where she had left her sword. She seemed to not have noticed a larvae was in her path.

"Get out of there Fie!" she shouted at the little Tarut. "I'll handle this. And you, Caspin," she snarled, picking up speed. "Stop snacking on every strange thing you see and GRIT THOSE TEETH!"

She'd just reached one of the larvae. She'd noticed it after all. With a vicious swing of one heavily armoured leg, she wound up and kicked it like a football at the honey addled blue mage's head.

A few steps more and Jade's right hand snaked out to her side. She snatched a hold on her sword's hilt and pulled it from the ground with barely a hitch in her stride. Shaking the remaining dirt loose, she moved the massive blade to a two handed grip and sped up again.

Caspin had a snarling Viera headed straight for him.

OOC: Action summary: Hey Caspin! Hey! HEY!

Dracorion · 02-22-2011, 08:33 AM

Argath felt a rush of sickness as the larvae's poison washed over him. Damn. That sucked. "Well that's a waste of time." He muttered as Jade left to charge at Caspin.

Holding his spear with both hands, he angled it with the queen's head. "Open wide!" He yelled, before shoving the shaft down her gullet with all his strength.

---------------------
Poison the queen.

Overcast · 02-22-2011, 08:35 AM

Caspin stared at Docus a moment. He finally realized why Argath had been so angry at him before. This...this was the most terrible thing that had ever happened to him since he came out of the closet back in Cornelia. He stared blankly at Docus for a minute, and was able to sum up one minute phrase in his magnificent mind,

"Dude, what?"

He wasn't even really thinking when he saw Fie run by, he just kind of stabbed him out of habit. Still hit though, he hoped the poison stuck. He shook off his disgust for a minute and stared at the little creeper,

"Somebody is going to have to pay for putting my mind what I just went through. Not even Blue Magic has had that much of an effect on my psyche as that has."

He got ready to unleash his stabbings when he heard someone say his name, he turned around and there was Jade, doing her typical thing of intuitive violence. The larva kicking was a good move he had to say, he did a little dance for the guy as he moved to catch him.

---------------------------
Dex check to catch the Larva, then more to come!

**McTahr** · 02-22-2011, 07:35 PM

Fie had tried to duck past him, but Caspin's dagger still managed to clip him on the arm as he went by. He barely noticed, still so focused on the horrors in his mind as much as the duty that lie ahead of him. Quickly doing his best to judge which of his allies was in the most dire of situations, he set to work trying to at least curb the progress of the poison in Vera slightly, if nothing else.

Geminex · 02-22-2011, 09:13 PM

Docus groaned as Caspin's heart slipped from his grasp. He really needed to work on his persuasion. The flirting at the end really hadn't helped. And, of course, the bastard had gone straight for Fie. The White Mage had taken a beating already, and, however heroic his efforts seemed to be, he was putting himself in serious danger here. And, looking around, Docus realized that the last thing he wanted was for them to be facing this without a white mage, who could at least had some healing skills.

His thoughts were interrupted by a green spray of venom that formed a green, stinking patch on his robes and then seemed to sink in through is skin, making him feel extremely queasy. A sharp pain flared up in his abdomen, and he suddenly felt himself freeze. Poison. Goddamn poison. For the first time this mission, he was scared. Not shocked an at Udrafresk, or addled and startled by bees, but genuinely afraid. Of course, no use running. Couldn't run from poison. You could hope to survive it, if you responeded right. He gulped, suddenly sweating. Fie really had to survive. It was personal now. He himself couldn't do much, but there had to be a teammate who could. He ran towards the battle, yelling.

"Hey! Fie's wounded! Somebody heal him, or we're not getting out of this alive. Someon's gotta have potions on them! And Prasad, one last volley at the queen! And how long is that damn roll of yours gonna last?"

-------
Move into short range of battle, yell

Overcast · 02-23-2011, 08:12 AM

He got pelted in the face by larva when he missed the damn thing. It didn't hurt all that much, just a minor inconvenience. He leaned down and picked the little creep back up and did a little dance for him,

"Hey little guy, go after the furry creep over there. He's definitely going to be doing some shooting in a minute."

He ended with a nice little flourish toward Prsad as Docus tried to run past him, which honestly was fine by him. If he wanted to get himself killed in the main battlefield he was welcome to it. But he best not expect he would be able to pass by Caspin without the threat of being stabbed. He lashed out with his dagger at the little creep. Trying really not to think about Jade, or at least not be threatened by her.

He wasn't quite strong enough to be a serious threat to the warrior. He had to play to his strengths.
---------------------------
Attack Docus.

Krylo · 02-23-2011, 08:36 AM

Caspin's blade draws blood from Docus, as the red mage charges past, a near perfect repeat of the moment with Fie mere seconds ago.

Meanwhile, Argath attempts to ram his spear into the queen, only to have the dulled edge deflect against her hard carapace, the poison smearing across it harmlessly, while Prasad blasts another hole in the next of the larva. Unfortunately, it isn't enough to kill it, and with Vera receiving emergency medical attention from Fie and everyone else busy, the larva lives to strike back, the poison splashing against Prasad's fur and sickening him, while its twin attempts to poison Fie, but finds the small tarut of a surprisingly hardy constitution, the splash of foul liquid apparently leaving him unaffected.

The queen, while her larva attempt to finish spreading the poison, stands and charges toward the sound of the warrior who had been holding her, but without her sight, her claws find no flesh to claw, and she slashes the air harmlessly.

It didn't hurt all that much, just a minor inconvenience. He leaned down and picked the little creep back up and did a little dance for him, "Hey little guy, go after the furry creep over there. He's definitely going to be doing some shooting in a minute." He ended with a nice little flourish toward Prsad as Docus tried to run past him, which honestly was fine by him. If he wanted to get himself killed in the main battlefield he was welcome to it. But he best not expect he would be able to pass by Caspin without the threat of being stabbed. He lashed out with his dagger at the little creep. Trying really not to think about Jade, or at least not be threatened by her. He wasn't quite strong enough to be a serious threat to the warrior. He had to play to his strengths. --------------------------- Attack Docus. __________________ Time to bust out the glow sticks!

Meanwhile, Argath attempts to ram his spear into the queen, only to have the dulled edge deflect against her hard carapace, the poison smearing across it harmlessly, while Prasad blasts another hole in the next of the larva. Unfortunately, it isn't enough to kill it, and with Vera receiving emergency medical attention from Fie and everyone else busy, the larva lives to strike back, the poison splashing against Prasad's fur and sickening him, while its twin attempts to poison Fie, but finds the small tarut of a surprisingly hardy constitution, the splash of foul liquid apparently leaving him unaffected. The queen, while her larva attempt to finish spreading the poison, stands and charges toward the sound of the warrior who had been holding her, but without her sight, her claws find no flesh to claw, and she slashes the air harmlessly. ----------------------- PC Round 17 Docus- Be useless.
