Chapter 3: The Song-Wind City

AJ cocks a weak smile in response to Lesedi's encouragement. "Yeah, I suppose that's true. I just worry about hurting people. Like I already did to Novac. These powers are amazing, but explosive." Thinking more on the notion of the challenge of combat prowess and Dalton's comment about her healing power, her smile strengthened some. All the talk of biting happened to amuse her a bit too. "If you want me to destroy shit, I'm good at that. Especially if it's something I can make into firewood." Finally, her own comment seemed to bring out a grin.

"Teamwork is something I think we're still working on, but I'm optimistic about it. By the way, did you say leshys? Like tree people? We had myths about them in the world we came from. I wonder if it's all just the power of imagination or something else. Prolly nothin' I'll ever know for sure. Either way, I'm ready to go whenever. Sounds like good practice for whatever this Starday Tournament thing is you mentioned. Wouldn't mind throwing myself at something like that now." Starting to feel like I'm in my own anime if we get a damned tournament arc.

Chapter 3: The Song-Wind City

Novac's grin widened at Dalton's bite remark. "That plant monster definitely slashed me before it bit me... probably. Hard to tell when you're just trying to survive," he quipped with a laugh. "But hey, we've had some solid teamwork in a pinch. So, let's do this." He tried to hold back, but the next words tumbled out. Facing AJ with a big grin, he added, "Just try not to BBQ me again. Honestly, with your aim, you should probably shoot at me; then we'll know you'll miss." Novac snorted with laughter, the sound edging into hysteria. Was he cracking up? Gods, ability tests, plant-people, leshies... it was all so completely absurd. Maybe he was just dreaming this up from a psych ward. He took a deep breath, getting a grip. "Right, sorry. Not entirely stable over here. Let's keep going."

Chapter 3: The Song-Wind City

"Leshys are immortal spirits of nature temporarily granted physical forms," Lesedi explains. "Their vessels can resemble all sorts of different plants."

The Leshy Gardens are an overgrown section of the campus, a riotous tangle of trees, shrubs, and vines amid carefully cultivated green space, such as sparring fields and picnic sports. It is to one of these cleared sparring spaces that Lesedi leads you. Apparently, word has gotten around of your test, as several students have chosen prime spots around the field to watch, some with picnic lunches.

A small humanoid plant creature with a gourd for a head waits here, waving to Lesedi as she approaches. The petite elf speaks to the leshy, who nods her gourd-head enthusiastically. Lesedi turns to you. "Okay, they're all set here. Get ready!"

They clear the field. A few moments later, a loud rustle blows through the surrounding trees. Stepping out from behind the hedge are two 10-foot-tall constructs made of branches woven into humanoid frames. They hold wooden sparring swords in one hand and large wooden shields in the other. Within the constructs, plainly in control, are two smiling leaf leshys. One gives a brief wave. The constructs bow to you before assuming defensive stances!

Before you can react, the constructs move in and attack Dalton! They then raise their shields to ward off your attacks.

Chapter 3: The Song-Wind City

AJ snorted after Novac's comment about being barbecued. "My scream must've rattled something loose, cause I never set you on fire! Either way, I'll try not to burn you even if it is really hard."

Seeing the spectators gathering around their challenge area at the Leshy Gardens was somewhat shocking, but also exciting. "Oh boy, we get to put on a show!" Before the bout begins, she bows back to the cute leshys. "Tree mechs. Amazing."

Just as she begins lighting up with power, her friends and the leshys start beating the tar out of one another. "One of these days I'm gonna be able to let loose without burning you guys too, but don't worry I've got a new trick since the demon potato!" The orb of flame that had been expanding in AJ's hand arcs off into air as a ray, raining down like long-range artillery. After launching her flaming torpedo, she dashes around, trying to find an opening that will let her unleash a wave of flame without hurting her allies.

OOC:

If Fire Ray hit, AJ will activate her Foretell Harm feat and become Cursebound.

The construct's wooden shield protects it from Dalton's and Novac's attacks. AJ's fire ray misses, but it does ignite the grass beneath the construct's feet, putting pressure on it to move. Al's lightning slightly scorches both constructs, but he's unable to notice any particular weaknesses.

The crowd cheers as the leshys piloting the constructs move them into new positions. Particularly, the flanked construct moves around to Dalton's side, stepping out of the burning grass. It raises its shield again and attacks anew, though its blade whiffs harmlessly. The other one moves around to Novac's far side, hoping to keep the rogue distracted with a slash of its sword. It scores a critical hit!

Chapter 3: The Song-Wind City

The fighting continued to shift around too much for AJ to feel confident that she wouldn't hit her friends. Seeing continued crushing blows from the vast wooden swords dealt to her allies while their own attacks repeatedly went wide, it seemed like a good time to change tactics. Her eyes narrowed upon the construct that wasn't surrounded by Dalton and Novac.

Embers roared up around her as the pyromancer pointed at the leshy-piloted construct. "Burn." It wasn't an attack, but a threat. The shadow AJ cast grew in size, taking on a demonic shape. Her glare was backed up with roiling fire in her eyes. Having the capacity to incinerate everything around her was not enough. She had to make them feel like they were staring at a goddess of destruction.

OOC:

AJ uses Demoralize with her Intimidating Glare feat. Her next two actions she uses to cast Fear. Will save against DC18.

Though her initial attempt to demoralize the leshy piloting one of the constructs fails, AJ's spell does the trick quite handily. The little leafy guy's eyes bulge wide as he shrieks in terror!

Meanwhile, Al heals Novac as he moves to assist the rogue and thief against the other construct. Novac tumbles through the wooden construct's legs and slices it from behind, scoring two hits. It partially blocks one with its shield, which shatters into fragments! Dalton fails to land any good hits, unfortunately.

As the panicked leshy flees in his construct to the far end of the battlefield, the other one attacks Novac again, the wooden arms and legs straining and groaning from the severe damage it has taken so far. It lands another lucky critical hit!

OOC:

10 slashing damage to Novac. Everybody may act. The construct in melee did not move. The fleeing one moved a total of 60 feet away.

The sight of the huge, wooden machine fleeing in terror after the high-pitched shriek was followed by laughter. It was easy to get lost in the comedy of the moment, losing sight of the fact that she had instilled mortal fear into another creature. AJ smirked and rushed over to the other side of the one surrounded. "Coming to help finish this one!" Her hand lunged for the back of one of the construct's legs, igniting with a shower of sparks and flame.

Novac slices deeply into the damaged construct, his blades severing its arms! The wooden limbs clatter to the ground, and the leshy piloting the thing yelps and raises her own little hands in surrender! With that foe disabled, the rest of you turn your attention to the second construct as its pilot recovers from his terror. Al and AJ move forward, the former healing Dalton while the latter blasts the wooden construct with flame. The fire seems particularly effective! Dalton moves closer to the construct and raises his shield.

The leshy raises his construct's own shield as he moves in and attacks Dalton, but his lingering fear affects his aim, and the blade swishes harmlessly through the air. The crowd cheers you on!
