>>>The healing wave of Grace's Harmony carries over the two Sorcerers, sealing some of the wicked wounds from barbed thorns as an other wave of sound carries over the battlefield. The remnants of Isbjorn's magical ice still on the stalk of King Triffid grows and shatters, causing it intense pain. You never thought you'd hear a plant scream in anger and pain...but now you have.
>>>The two Sorcerers take a beat to recover. Isbjorn directs his concentration on the monster but no additional information appears on the thing's Status Box. Heat rolls off Arga as his arcane tattoos surge with energy as he pulls mana back into himself, recharging. Bright orange light dances across the tattoo patterns across his body and his internal energy glow highlights what appear to be seams on his body as if he were an action figure.
OOC:
Arga activates Ars Magica, restoring 10 MP to his total.
Tina casts
Keen Edge on Maxime's flashing blade as he sets up for his attack. Her casting was a bit too slow to match Raquel's speed of attack as the Assassin uses another high-damage move. Raquel's katana issuing a wave attack that slices through all three stalks of the massive creature.
Piphany
she said almost breathlessly before moving in for her own attack. Being distracted costs the goth Assassin dearly as the multiple vines quickly overwhelm her and intercept her leap, winding her in the tightening grip of powerful vines. Her scythe clatters to the ground below as she is lifted high into the air, unable to even scream as the vines constrict tighter and tighter around her.
Guy GoodHeart
Guy muttered aloud, the Party voice chat picking up his sub-vocalization.
"Fortress Stance!... Cross Slash!" Bright light issued from the armored man as he changed fighting stance and swung his enormous mace in an X-shaped pattern.
Maxime
Not to be outdone, Maxime moved in for his own attack.
"Flash Edge Style!" he called as he nimbly lept in toward the creature's Central stalk just below where the Fox Tail perched for attack, leaving a deep gash as his Cutlass hewed away at the Triffid's bark-like hide.
>>>Flashing with solar brilliance in the moonlit night, Fren's sword glowed with his own magic and that of the Enchanter's
Keen Edge spell. The Fox Tail Cleric plunged the blade deep into the stalk, finding purchase between the hard segments of its outer casing, causing it to spasm uncontrollably. Atalanta moved in to deliver a hail of taunting blows and cutting verbal barbs to draw the Crown's attention toward her rather than anyone else. The Stalk shook and emitted a sound like a rattlesnake before lunging at the Monk with it's thorn-spiked tip. Agile as the wind, the Monk easily leaps away as the thorn spiked tip grazes the ground...leaving deep gashes in the soil in its wake.
>>>Calamity blasted away at the overgrown weed, leaving a gaping hole in it but not hitting anything apparently important. It was one thing to blast away at something with a head or a heart or a nervous system but where do you shoot a plant?
>>>The ice-coated Castle stalk of the Triffid closes the thick protective petals around the sickly white flower atop the monstrosity and turns it into a deadly instrument of blunt damage as it whips the armored tip down at Guy like a wrecking ball. Dust and clouds of dirt fly in all directions as the impact shakes the ground. The attack was powerful, but clumsy, narrowly missing the Guardian, rolling away and back up to his feet. He offers his sword to Calamity, should she want it, since he has his giant mace.
BradL33
BradL33 was called to action, holding his staff high, he worked on keeping Piphany alive. His hands shook as he called out,
"Heartbeat Healing!". A warm green glow suffused the goth Assassin as the vines cocooned her.
"It's killing her! You guys gotta unload on that thing!"

OOC:
•Nice hit, Fren! Double 7's is a Critical! You may choose one of the Opportunity choices from the list on p. 41 (if you have the book). If not, I'll list them in a follow up post. Damage for Fren's hit was: [HR] 7+6+10 (23).
• To be clear, because we're not using maps or miniatures, here's a breakdown of the melee folks attacking which segment of King Triffid:
Castle - Guy, Calamity
Crown - Atalanta, Fren
Knight - Raquel, Piphany, Maxime
Ranged folks can change targets without incurring a
free attack. Melee folks need a skill or ability to switch out targets.
• The Knight struck Piphany with a Critical. It'll choose to disarm her and use
Ensnare to give her the [Hindered] Negative Status. She's without her weapon and can't move & is an auto-hit next turn. Ouch.
