Toshiro downs an Ironskin potion before the fight

 

Toshiro draws out only his long-blade, wielding it with both hands with a sinister grin.  "Against a foolish creature like this I'll only need one blade. I mean come on, who gets them-self's stuck in ice, especially when this is it's home turf." With that snarky comment out of out the way he dashes forward at blinding speed and slashes at the beast.

 

Use Dash Tech as a free action to increase Dex by 1.5 for 1 turn

She was the first to hear it's approach. Already, she'd had the staff in hand, turning to face the monstrosity as it appeared through the trees. By the time the others had noticed and it was leaping through the air, her beasts had scurried off to safety, dragon's breath welled in her chest, and a vicious spell was on the tip of her tongue...

 

"You're mine."

 

Thunderous noise, horrid noise, like a banshees shriek. It shredded the air like fine tissue, sundering the snow laden winds...

 

At the start of the encounter, Lucille Mimicked Brachus' Restorative breath! She will be using his Synergy for the purpose of said skill!

(Mimicry allows the user to copy an ability from their bound beasts into their "mimicry" slot, and may be used at the start of encounters as a free action. Brachus' Synergy is 5 for the purpose of this skill. See loadout for further inquiries)

Lucille unleashes her standard Edge of Silence against the Borean Strider!

(The Darksteel Quartz Cane grants +6 Int to all Thaumic Spells. Edge of Silence's standard version deals 2 undodgeable, res-ignoring hits which deal {1d3+Int(13+6)}*1.3x damage each.)

Using her extra action, Lucille will unleash the alternate version of Edge of Silence on the Borean Strider; She aims at it's legs in an attempt to knock it off balance!

("Uncanny Senses" allows the user to make an extra action every 3 turns, starting turn 1. EoS' Alternate Version strikes the target with a single concussive blast that violently throws them away)

Leo downs an Iron skin potion before the fight!

 

"We wont be able to count on Frostbrute's help in this kind of environment! And the ice magic this thing puts off will only make it worse! Be careful!"

 

True to his word, frostbrute seems slower than normal. Takeing slower steps, leaning further forward. One might almost say it looks tired.

  So it stays at the back, out of the fight.

 

 

Leo aims to start strong, casting Frigid Shock

Round 1

 

The Borean Strider tears its legs out of the ice and prepares to strike, icy wind already swirling around it.

 

Jun buffs herself, she now has 16 Dex for two rounds!

 

Toshiro dashes in to strike at the Strider, he manages to slide his blade under the icy armor of the beast to deliver a deep wound for 30 damage!

Con save: 17 vs 4, Toshiro ignores the freezing aura of the beast.

 

Lucille fires her first two blasts of sonic energy, slicing off large swaths of ice and snow dealing 13 and 14 damage.

 

The Strider picks up one of its massive legs and shakes loose several icicles over Lucille, most of the ice bounces off her heavy armor though.

 

Leo raises his hands to cast his spell, focuses, and watches a cloud start to develop over the Strider.  His expectations are quickly dashed though, as instead of creating arcs of plasma to lance the beast the cloud starts dripping icy rain onto it.  The water runs down its body and freezes over several of the cracks created in the ice by previous attacks.

(The Strider doesn’t take 3 cold damage)

 

Rose keeps her distance from the Borean Strider, trying not to look like an easy target.

 

The Strider does something with two of its rear legs before flinging two large globs of slick, rope-like web at Rose(who jumps out of the way) and Leo.
(Webbed targets are sent to the bottom of the Init ladder and must spend an move to free themselves if they wish to return to their previous place on the Init ladder)

 

Calvera blasts the Strider with flames, creating a crater in its icy armor.

 

Lucille follows up with her third strike, the blast knocks away a large puff of snow and deals 13 damage.

(15 vs 12) Lucille’s spell forces three of the Strider’s legs out from underneath it, hopefully it’ll take a second for it to stand up.

Move 1: Jun's hacks away at the Strider using her MS-MUN3 Plasma sword to deal damage to the Strider's (sorry waifu) armor, dealing 4d6+(16x1.2) damage to it, and triggering Extra attack and Ambush Hunter to deal an additional 4d6+(16x1.2)+4d4 damage.

Move 2: Jun uses her plasma sword to deal damage to the Strider's armor, dealing 4d6+(16x1.2)+4d4 damage to it, unless the Strider has already lost its armor (highly unlikely) in which case she uses her plasma sword to hack away at the Strider's legs.

Move 3: Jun does the exact same things he did using her last move assuming that she isn't dead or otherwise incapicated.

 

Relevant Passives: Ambush Hunter causes Jun to deal an additional +4d4 damage after the target has already been attacked before (The damage calculations assume that since the Strider and his armor technically shares an Initiative order, that it counts as the same target for Ambush Hunter/the Strider was already attacked before it was Jun's turn to move anyway).
Jun's Weirdness Censor perk provides a 32% innate dodge chance due to her Dexterity being counted as 16.

The girl's fury does not cease as she assaults the spider; the vicious power of her last shout is succeeded by yet another, this time aimed at the beast's mug. Despite the howling winds the roar of her spell is breifly the only thing that can be heard for miles around, it's thunderous resonance eerily reminscent of a dragon roaring.

      The same sensation from before is back. The symphony of otherworldly sounds, subtle yet boisterously loud at the same time, filling her ears like water to a basin. But she ignores it, for now. There is resistance to break, monsters to tame, and dominance to be established...far more important than any phantasmal oddities at the edge of her hearing.

 

Lucille will again unleash the alternate version of Edge of Silence, aiming at the Spider's face and attempting to disorient it from the blast!

(EoS' standard version deals 2 res-bypassing, undodgeable hits for {1d3+Int(19)}*1.3 each. It's Alternate Version strikes the target with only a single concussive blast, but violently throws them away)

Round 2:

 

Jun attacks the Strider’s armor, slashing away at the snow and icy quickly turning large amounts into steam.

Con saves: 17 vs 8, 20 vs 5, Jun survives the cold.

 

Toshiro’s rending strike deals 10 damage to the Strider and knocks off some loose snow.

Con save: 10 vs 20, the cold starts to sap Toshiro’s strength, he takes 2 damage.

 

Jun swings again.

Con save: 3 vs 14, the cold starts to sap Jun’s strength, she takes 3 damage.

 

The Strider stands, it doesn’t look happy.

 

Toshiro attacks again for 7 damage.

Con save: 12 vs 5, Toshiro survives the cold.

 

Lucille summons her blast of sound dealing 13 damage.

(13 vs 5) The Strider staggers back a half step from the force.

 

Jun strikes again, by this point there isn’t much icy left on the beast, revealing the ugly, boring, grey monster underneath.

Con save: 13 vs 10, Jun survives the cold.

 

The Strider lifts up four of its legs and tries to stomp down on Toshrio, Lucille, Rose, and Calvera.

It flat out misses Toshiro, it deals 7 damage to Lucille, 12 damage to Rose, and 15 to Calvera.

 

Rose tries to pull herself out of the way before the Strider attacks again.

 

The Strider reaches back and throws out two more globs of web, hitting Jun(55) and Lucille.

(Webbed targets are sent to the bottom of the Init ladder and must spend an move to free themselves if they wish to return to their previous place on the Init ladder)

 

Calvera boils away the last of the Borean Strider’s icy armor and deals another 9 damage.

She catches a glimpse of a darting shadow that looked like it was inside the Strider’s pale bulging abdomen, it was probably nothing.

 

Leo unsticks his arms and hands from the web and pulls out the ruby ring, with it he starts casting a firestorm that deals 1 fire damage to the Strider.

"I would REALLY appreciate it, if we could kill this now!"

Calvera's hand instantly goes to her arm upon getting hit, she's getting a bit pissed.

 

Calvera uses Neutron (if she dips below 50% hp.) otherwise, use Sun Boil again.

Move 1: Jun hack away at the web rooting her to the floor to free herself from it.

Move 2: Jun uses her plasma sword to deal damage to the Strider itself by swinging at its legs twice, dealing 4d6+(16x1.2)+4d4 damage to it twice unless, unless the Strider has somehow managed to not get hit by an attack at all before Jun could move (unlikely). 

Move 3: Jun deals 4d6+(16x1.2)+4d4 damage to the Strider by attacking it with her plasma sword again.


Relevant Passives: Ambush Hunter causes Jun to deal an additional +4d4 damage after the target has already been attacked before.

Something sticks and binds to her armor, fine gosmer threads forming a disgusting prison. Her struggles in the physical form end in vain, but the power welling within grows evermore; like the swell of the ocean tide it rises, becoming a mighty wave of that crashes down upon the world around her in tandem with the steadily increasing wrath. To be bound and helpless, a feeling not unfamiliar, yet foreign enough she cannot recall from where she previously knew it. For the first time in her life, this body feels... stiffling, like a great flame smothered by sand, lightning trapped within a jar. And for the first time in her life, the stopper is removed.

    She knew not the words pouring off her tongue; for they were not the incantations native to thaumic mages, nor did they hail from any tongue she knew in her homeworld. Yet just as with the sensation of imprisonment, this too is familiar. Far too familiar. 

 

Familiar enough that she instinctively knows the words themselves hold no power. Ancient, yes, but deadly? No. They are merely the vehicle by which the power is made manifest, power which could shatter reality. Power which made the Thaumic Arts look like a poor-mans imitation. 

    "MYT SAI-TAL DEVA!"

 

For a moment, nothing. But it is breif, and in the next moment, the power released tore through the air with a baying befitting wolves. Rabid, wild, vile, they shred not only the threads of Gossmer, but of reality itself. Chords are struck, chords are severed. For once, the myriad of background noises makes sense. The resonance of all the things around them, the resonance of this world itself. 

 

But as glroious as the period of enlightenment on the phenomenon is, its just as fleeting. There for that moment...

 

already beginning to fade come the next.

 

But one way or another, the beastmancer is freed. Strips of silk encircle her like confetti. Despite seeing nothing, her eyes nonetheless level a vicious glare upon the spider: the glare of a mother quickly losing her patience.

 

Lucille spends her action freeing herself from the webbing (in rather spectacularly mystical fashion)

Round 3:

 

The Strider rears up again and stomps Jun, Toshiro, Rose, and Calvera.

(41)Jun takes 13 damage, Toshiro takes 3 damage, Rose 4 damage, and Calvera takes 12 damage.

 

After being struck and nearly killed Calvera shrinks to a tiny glowing speck.

 

Toshiro slashes at the Strider for 17 damage, he gains 4 HP from his lifesteal.

 

The Strider summons a blast of ice and sends it at Toshiro.

(16 vs 17) Toshiro becomes frozen in a rather large amount of ice.

 

Rose dives for cover.

 

The Strider slams its legs down again,

(14)Jun swiftly pulls herself out of the way, Lucille takes 13 damage, Leo takes 4 damage, and Rose is already out of the way.

 

Calvera expands and fires a massive blast of radiation at the Strider dealing 72 damage to it.

 

Jun frees herself from the webs before dealing 44, 39, and 36 damage to the Strider.

 

With a spectacular display of force Lucille frees herself.

 

Leo follows suit and cuts his own bonds as well.

 

The Borean Strider collapsed to the ground from the shear onslaught of fire and radiation, still quite alive it twitched and squirmed, trying with every ounce of its being to stand and fight.

Right at this point in time splits and cracks became visible in its abdomen mere seconds before it tore open revealing its true nature.  Hundreds if not thousands of “normal” sized spiders similar in coloration poured from the eggsack on their mother’s back, with them several larger spiders(about three or four feet tall) also crawled out.

Most of the Strider’s children simply ran, covering the white snow in a tide of grey and black specks.  Inevitably some of the smaller spiders moved in the party’s direction, just as well the larger children stayed to directly confront them.

Move 1: Jun reserves her one and only action to wait until Calvera finally puts up that gravity well and attacks the floating group with her plasma sword twice, dealing 4d6+(9*1.2) damage twice with an additional +4d4 added to one or both attacks, depending on whether or not they have been attacked before.
This is all assuming that Jun doesn't die horribly before any of this happens.
Relevant passives: Jun still has an 18% dodge chance just in case miracles do happen.

Just as it was fading, she went flying. The armor had proven to be worthless, battered and broken already and scattering pieces to the winds. She hit the ground hard, bouncing once off the snow and ice, once off of the frozen, compacted earth, and finally stopped once her back slammed into the nearest tree. She could feel the agony of fire with every breath she took, hear the soggy, wet rasp of her lungs, taste the iron as it welled in the back of her throat. It was only through sheer force of will that she pushed herself up, her cane actually serving more than just combative purposes for once. Again, blind eyes leveled a harrowing gaze at the strider. 

 

Blind eyes that had changed. shimmering platinum no longer, but the elongated, emerald slits of a dragon, burning with a dull radiance that failed to do her boiling blood justice. She knew naught where the trait was coming from- she still felt Brachus' breath in her searing lungs, there was no other part of him she'd borrowed -but she honestly didn't care. Not like it allowed her to see either way. They bored into, no, through the strider regardless, as Lucille entered it's mind. She was like a roaring tidal wave, a blazing spear peircing the dawn, cutting through what resistance she found with unbridled fury- one message, one and only, was projected as she attempted to find the foothold needed

 

"YIELD OR DIE!! CALL OFF YOUR OFFSPRING, OR WATCH THEM BE SLAUGHTERED TO THE LAST!"

 

And with the emotion that carried through from her end of the link, there should've been no mistaking her conviction on that matter. The spider should've felt it- this was, well and truly, it's only opportunity to yield. No end of malice surged through the blind mage by now, malice that could very easily be turned on the dying beast and it's children like the fury of a thousand splendid suns...

 

Lucille takes every ounce of rage (IE, 7 metric fuck tons) she has in her body and BINDS the Borean Strider! Should she prove successful, she orders it to call off it's offspring! If she senses she doesn't have enough bonds for the strider, she will release the Metal Chameleon before attempting! If even that is not enough, she will release ALL HER BONDED BEASTS before attempting!

(Binding a beast is a PERK that requires Lucille to spend her action forming a "Bond" with them, which will expend a number of bonds equal to 1/2 the beast's int. Lucille currently has 6/14 bonds; Releasing beasts can be done as a free action, if the metal chameleon is released, it would free up 2 bonds for 8/14 bonds. If ALL beasts are released, she regains all 14/14 bonds. Will only release if absolute necessary.)

 

Assuming Lucille is still alive (since her armor seems to be fucking worthless), She will use her extra action from Uncanny Senses to cast Restorative Breath on whoever has the lowest HP and is still alive!

(Restorative Breath is a mimicked move; Lucille is using Brachus Syn instead of hers. Heals {1d6+Syn(5)} HP, heals {2d10+Syn(5)} instead when used on dragons)

Toshiro notices the incoming blast of ice and brings up his sword to block the attack. However, he did not expect it to freeze him completely. Now trapped within a shell of ice he's stuck in that guarding position. The ice-fish cube rocks back and forth and faint, muffled mumbling can be faintly heard coming from it.

Round 4:

 

The Strider summons a great spear of ice and hurls it in Jun’s direction dealing an amazingly inconvenient 7 damage(I shit you not)

 

Jun waits and Toshiro thaws.

 

Lucille’s burning rage pierced the weakened creature’s mind, quickly breaking through what little resistance it gave against her raw fury.

Suddenly everything stopped.  Everyone holding their breath waiting to see what would happen next, not even the lesser spiders dared move an inch.

Slowly the Strider started moving, with creaks and groans the great lumbering beast started to raise on burnt and bleeding limbs.  Eventually it stood, wobbling slightly in the breeze, before lowering its front pair of legs and leaning down in what could only be taken as some sort of bow.

The creature tapped the ground softly with its lowered legs several times, hardly enough for anyone to feel if they hadn’t actually seen it.  Almost as if a bell had been rung all of the smaller spiders turned on the spot and started walking back towards their mother “climbing aboard” and hiding in the shredded remains of the egg sack.

Lucille expends 4 bonds and gains control over the Borean Strider.

Jun found herself jumping away from the bulk of the borean strider's thrown icicle just in the nick of time as the giant block of ice failed to actually penetrate her armor and harmlessly shattered most of the plating...and not so harmlessly caused one of her ribs to make a rather painful cracking sound as she hit the ground and rolled away from the strider. She quickly righted herself as she immediately started to run around the battlefield to wait for an opportune moment to strike at the beast's plentiful offspring...or for Lucille to take control of the damn thing, that works too.

 

She placed her plasma sword back into its sheath before she slowly walked back towards the rest of the group and slowly gathers the hopefully long lasting ice shards littering the battlefield inside of her cloak to use as a cold compress on one of her many bruises later (Jun takes 3 ice shards and one shard of Dense ice). She then turns to face Rose and say "So how is everyone holding up?".

The party would hear crackling sounds followed by sounds of ice breaking and a war cry. The fish man forcefully broke out of the ice once it was weak enough and was ready to get back into the fight. Though he quickly realized that the fight was already pretty much over. Toshiro sighed before resting the blunt side of the blade on his shoulder.  "I was hoping that battle would last a bit longer, oh well." He didn't seem tired at all, it was like he had the same amount of energy as he did before fight even when he got stomped by the beast multiple times.  "I feel perfectly fine. No major damage on my end, or at least nothing I can't handle."
