Bittersweet Candy Bowl

Once Sebastian rushed in the direction of the fireball, something jumps on him from above, pinning him to the ground. Before he can react, he is stabbed in the chest, piercing his heart and killing him instantly. The killer stands and attempts to run out of sight of the rest of the party.

[Unpaused]

(Gotta go, on autoplay I will mostly try to save myself, but will obey Makar’s orders)

Wh-what was that? Somebody follow it!!

He takes his own advice and follows the killer as well.

Well thats what you get for breaking formation…
(Also FATALITY)

Ranged fighters open fire!

The dancer shrieks loudly as Sebastian is slain so suddenly, trembling against the barbarian’s back, her high-pitched scream piercing through the forest.

Burn and incenerate!

Sends a fireball towards nearby rustling.

((Killtacular))

He almost stepped out of the formation too, but could hold himself back.
Close-range combat isn’t a good option right now! Spellcasters shall start to give us the chance.

Meanwhile… in another universe, The fool, The empress and The devil react to Sebastian’s death.

((You forgot chuck norris IMHO))

(But how do they react?!?!)

Tybold knew it was too late for Sebastian, and so she focused on the target. She raised her staff, and muttered something under her breath. A sudden bright flash exploded in front of the target, with blinding white light and enough force to throw a large male backwards several feet.

(Yeah, what exactly do these cards do?)

Icarus notices the spell and falls back in time to avoid it. He then proceeds to pin the killer down.

Who are you and why are you here?!

Sean’s fireball hits its target. Something which seems to be a rogue comes out from hiding, waving his arms desperately as he burns.

An arrow seems to approach Tybold as she was casting her spell.

Watch out!!
He rushed between the white mage and the arrow, guiding his shield to the front to block the projectile.

Albert, his sword drawn, winces slightly at the sound of the scream, unable to see what happened as he keeps his eyes on the way the party came, his sword glinting in the light as he watches alertly, backing up closer to the nearest party member, tightening the circle a little as he grits his teeth.

What happened?

Delilah cries, wide-eyed

Someone died! *she says, clinging to Dave’s back all the tighter*

Oblivious to everyone to begin with it is of little consequence when he fades into the shadows a tree. Two knives in hand he scans for more attackers.

((OVERKILL IMHO))

Protect and dispell!

Forms a light shield…Then yells to the other casters.

Protect the others!

(Waiit… we need some order here… wait a bit.

Well make rounds, between each round, you may only make 1 action (defending others and just speech doesnt count as an action), then I will update with the results and you may post again.

I’ll post the results of the last actions, and then get the round started.)

(What the hell, Tybold and I already took care of the situation! And nobody said anything about bushes!)

Lord Makar: Succesfully blocks incoming arrow with his shield, protecting Tybold.

Sean: The magic shield engulfs the party.

McCardell: Scans the area, detecting many bandits surrounding the party. He is unnoticed.

[Round 2: Start]

FUCK I’m DEAD

n/a

Lord Makar started to search for an open spot to attack an enemy and be able ti get back to his position alive.

(Wait, what happened to me?)

(You blocked the first attack, but there are still many enemies around, hiding, McCardell found most of them though, he needs to tell the rest of the party.)

(Besides that, my character will not do anything else ‘till the results.)

“It appears that there was not just one assailant. Ready your arms an prepare for assault, by the looks of their attire they appear bandits but are more than capable….” throws knife at bandit “of killing us.”

(No, I attempted to pin down the killer, who was stunned by Tybold.)

(Oh… sorry, I’ll move that to the second round results)

Tybold, now protected by a barrier sees this as as good an opportunity as she’s going to get, and mutters a silent spell. Suddenly, the entire forest in engulf in bright light, making it far easier to spot their assailants.

Fires off another fireball with his sword hand and prepares for close combat as the bandits advance.

Albert holds formation, the warrior in a defensive position, eyes scanning his portion of the battlefield for any sign of hostile creatures, the experienced warrior not making the mistake of trying to watch the battlefield for his capable companions as well.

Delilah continues to cower behind Dave, not used to the sight of death and not knowing what to do. At Dave’s words, she nods dumbly and stumbles over behind Albert, trembling visibly.

Hannibal finds a bandit and begins slashing him to ribbons.

((Only you can prevent forest fires))

Dave scans the premise.

I dare those fiends to try assaulting us, they won’t make it past me.

Makar spotted a bandit and rushes towards him with the shield in the front and the sword being used as a lance, ready to pierce it’s chest. He plans to run back to protect Lieselotte when he finishes the foe.

Edit:Yeah This action is pointless given multiple people already did similar things. Sorry just got back =P

She staggers as the light flashes through the forest, not prepared she rubs her eyes and squints. Her claws are still at the ready, but her vision is diminished at the moment. She backs herself to Lord Makar.

I need you to help be my eyes. That flash was less then ideal for me. I hope everyone else can see better, since I cannot. I’ll try to listen for the assailants, but if the battle gets too loud…

Delilah, stay with Albert he will protect you. I have to go help Makar and the good lady.

Dave runs off to help Lord Makar.

Lord Makar: Is able to detect a distracted bandit, his upfront attack pierces the bandit’s chest, mortally wounding him.

McCardell: His knife was thrown with extreme precision, cutting the bandit’s throat.

Sean: His fireball burns another unfortunate bandit.

Hannibal: As he madly slashes one of the bandits, carelessly ignoring his surroundings, another fireball is flying directly towards him.

Tybold: Her magic spell illuminates the bandits, forcing them to come out of hiding. They however, completely detect her as the source of the spell.

Sir Icaras: Succesfully, pins down the killer. He struggles to get away but fails.

[Round 3: start]

The paladin notices the bandits’ target of focus is Tybold. He beheads the pinned bandit and heads to protect the mage.

Hang on!

He then notices a second fireball headed toward Hannibal.

*Shit! I can’t be everywhere at once!*

He heads to block the fireball, noting it’s immediate danger.

Dave sees a now exposed bandit hiding behind a tree near Lord Makar. He swiftly swings his axe at the bandit’s torso hoping to finish him quick.

Well… it seems like you’ve blown our cover. Nevertheless, you’re still doomed.

Get the mage!

He shouts. The rest of the bandits rush forwards, there appear to be around 40 remaining.

I will not kill…

Tybold, true to the vows of a white mage could not bring herself to murder. It wasn’t right… But that didn’t mean she couldn’t fight. She held her index finger close to her covered lips, as she whispered an incantation. Suddenly, a pillar of light struck down upon five of the bandits, with a power that would knock them out cold unless they managed to resist.

(Assuming that the fireball doesn’t fry me&hellip

Hannibal moves back in formation to protect the casters.

He aims his crossbow at the Bandit Boss and trains for a killing blow. He pulls the trigger and braces for recoil.

Nothing happens.

“This…was not in my calculations”

He ducks into more concealing cover and begins to unjam the crossbow
