Always Ascending

[Dichotomy]

I sputter and shout down at the wolf "YOU chased ME up here! If anyone has a right to be upset it's me!"

[Ryuforce]

Duran watches as Oric just finishes the wolf with relative ease of a mace swing. "Why do I even worry about you?" She says with a grin to show she's quite impressed with the cleric's blows.

[Alice]

The last wolf snarls and turns to bite Retaria... only to simply run her face into the gladiator with no visible effect.

[Nihtgenga]

"Uh... good doggie?" Retiaria raised an eyebrow at the nose booping. She would ruffle the wolf's ears, but her hands were full. So instead she simply plunged her trident down onto its back instead.

[Hit 14+4= 18
Damage: 5+4 = 9]

[Alice]

The wolf yelps as she is stabbed but remains on her feet very boopable nose still up.

(Squirl turn)

[Roselli]

The voice returns, "It's so hard to be brave isn't it? Standing back.. Cheering behind the others.. That just feels more right.." A calming pleasant petting of the tail and a pat on the head are felt.. Before the shock of combat kicks back in and that horrible wolf woman is even closer now!

Gwyn felt calm again as she felt the hand inner. Maybe it was right. I should stay in the back and help. But I want my story... i feel a bit of conflict but the voice and touch is so nice. She is probably right.

I snap back into the fight and there the wolfgirl is. Fuck! How did she get so close! Fuck fuck. She had to get away, but should help

"Your nose is cold and wet. That's why no one likes to cuddle with you." Gwyn yells and then falls back trying to keep 50ft between her and the wolf woman.

"Red, you can finish them!" She shouts to give her bardic inspiration

[Vicious Mockery  =2 psych damage & disadvantage if fail save]

[Ryuforce]

With Oric taking down that wolf, there is just one more to remain before they can focus on the leader. Duran watched it move away and attack Red with fail, awkwardly rubbing her until the tielfing stabs it. The dragonborn on the other hand took advantage, moving up to try to get behind and take it down with one heavy but perhaps to slow, attack.


[Duran teaches Wolf what a Mace is!]
[Attack 1st Roll: 8 + 5 = 13 ]

Pleasantly Plump: -2 fitness penalty to Dexterity. -5 foot fitness penalty to movement. Gain benefits of the Tough Feat.

[Alice]

The mace hit is enough to throw the wolf to the side where it lands in the forest and does not return.

The humanoid looks nervous, but she lets out a howl and her frame starts to twist and blur duplicating till there are  four of her standing having backed up to the tree.

(Gwyn can make a new save, Lucious gets a turn}

[Roselli]

Gwyn feels a bit better about things
[Cha save = 19 ]

[Alice]

Gwyn stands up taller.. the supernatural fear having left her.. She brushes her red hair out of her eyes and is ready to battle.

[Roselli]

Gwyn pulls out the rapier again happy to be back to normal and standing her full height. She doesn't even notice her dark hair is red as she focuses on the wolf girl.

"If they don't put you down before I get to you, I'm gonna spank you, pooch."

She stretches out happy to be tall again and less flurry

[Dichotomy]

Now there are FOUR OF- no, probably not. What sort of magic would even allow that? Clearly they are illusions, and they're all backed up to my tree- again the EXACT place I LEAST want them to be. Well, I can solve this pretty quickly, figure out which one to attack, and keep shooting it until it leaves me alone.

"This is highly inconsiderate of you you know." I gripe down at her "my reserves if magical powers are not unlimited, and evocations is not my specialty! Bad dog!"

A few more precise arcane gestures, and again I bring my Palms together with thunderous result. I figure the Shockwave will go through the illusions, but the real one will have to react, and will give herself away.

((Its everyone's favorite: thunderwave! So that's 7+2 = 9 Damage to the wolves below me and they're knocked 10 feet away, unless they make a DC 13 constitution save, in which case they take half damage and aren't moved.))

[Alice]

THe thunder waves slams into the wolves throwing them back towards the woods but they manage to keep their footing.

[darlingng01]

I look at each of the wolves with a glower which only deepens as they fail to disperse upon being hit by the magic burst. Considering my situation I doubt I can risk getting up close without even knowing were my enemy really is. Gripping my symbol I call down fire on the nearest active wolf woman [dex save or takes 5 damage]

[Alice]

The fire flashes somehow engulfing all of them for a moment leaving her panting a bit as she staggers near the edge of the woodlands..

(Neathra may now go)
