Marisa fires off another set of danmaku, They swirl outwards, seemingly starting to miss the party. . . but then they spiral back in, colliding with everyone in the group in a brilliant and deadly light show! Isobel weaves around one of the bursts, but can't quite shake the other as it strikes for [6] damage. Empi takes it like she takes many other things, suffering 12 damage in the process. Masako also can't quite navigate the starfield of magic, taking another [12] damage. Rory takes both hits as well, but unlike the others, Hikari's defensive enchantment allows him to ignore it entirely (though the starstuff still seems to cling.) Lambda isn't able to block for Walmond, and thus she takes [13] damage worth of stars colliding. Lambda herself hits two on her way over, taking [13] damage despite her defensive procedures. Ritsu intercepts the shots meant for Hikari once more, shrugging them off as well as the ones meant for her. 

 

Isobel quickly mashes a healing poppy into the now-apparently-human Lambda's face, healing her for [18] HP. LOTUS, meanwhile, does her best to communicate Marisa's weaknesses to the team.

 

Empi teaches Lambda a bit about how to flirt, with the former android seemingly giving her a curious glance before going back to her focus. Both of them gain 19% damage reduction. 

 

Rory finally manages to close and . . . whiff entirely, Marisa laughing as she loops around her.

 

Marisa sends out another burst of danmaku! The halo of light around her grows ever more intense . . . but the zone of darkness right atop her seemed to do the same, her form barely visible save for her ominously glowing eyes and the outline of the strange artifact she held. Isobel takes another [6] damage, Empi takes [5], and Rory once more shrugs the hit off. The rest of the danmaku seems to fly off, missing those not moving as quickly. 

 

Masako watches how Marisa dodges Rory carefully, then strikes with her own calculateed burst of danmaku, dealing [21] damage. 

 

Hikari casts another enchantment, this one binding itself to Ritsu's weaponry.

 

Walmond lets yet another pulse of healing out onto the battlefield as a counter to the sinister influence of Marisa's own magic, allowing herself, Lambda, Empi, Rory, and Masako to recover [16] HP. 

 

Yet another wave of stars appears on the edges of the clearing and spins inward, entrapping and striking the party with stellar sorcery. Isobel and Walmond take [6] damage, while Masako manages to evade it. Ritsu takes the hit meant for Hikari once more, and Rory essentially ignores it entirely. Lambda take [3] damage, and Empi takes [5].

 

Ritsu reconfigures her shields and extends them to ward Empi and Isobel from hostile magic.

Walmond & Lambda

 

"Dammit..." Walmond growled as Lambda pulled back from the recent flurry of projectiles, the green magic from her recent spell fading away. There was simply too much or her to counteract, which meant that yes, she was going to have to take offensive measures into her own hand.

 

As for Lambda, she was content with keeping back, trying her best to maneuver the sea of stars... At least, she would be having an easier time of doing it, if she wasn't constantly being distracted. First, it was by Empi again, shouting tips on how to flirt at Lambda, causing her to divert her attention for a split second to tilt her head in confusion. Why would she need to know how to flirt? She was a defense/serving robot. She had no reason to flirt, not with other individuals, nor with Walmond. Maybe it could be nice, but there wasn't a point.

 

... She was getting distracted, on flirting of all things. Readjusting her focus, Lambda turned to... Isobel, who was approaching again with another poppy. Immediately, Lambda recognized the event, she was going to heal Walmond. So, naturally, she began extending her arm, making it easier for Isobel to get to her target.

 

Only to be pushed back, raising an arm and waving it in panic when Isobel shoved the poppy into her face.

 

Once it had left her face, Lambda brought her free hand, brushing off the remnants of the poppy before shaking her head and giving Isobel a confused look. At least, for a second, until she was forced to finally redirect her focus on Marisa, her shields once more extending after their brief repairs.

 

 

For Walmond, she had been preparing her electricity magic for her attack, before nearly being thrown off when Lambda suddenly panicked. Looking up, she saw that it was due to Isobel's appearance, doing her own healing with Lambda. Such a reaction was... Surprising. It shouldn't happen, since that was a reaction of something... With... 

 

Sentience.

 

Marking that for later, Walmond turned to Marisa, snapping her fingers as a flurry of lightning bolts flew towards the darkened witch. They needed to finish this fight.

 

Walmond uses Tazer on Marisa, dealing 1d4+[9/2] (5) damage, and forces a Con check against Walmond’s int. If Walmond wins, the target is paralyzed for three turns, and has a 50% chance to lose their turn at the start of each turn.

 

Lambda uses Defensive Modifications, sealing her attacks but giving her a 30% damage reduction for two turns.

Rory glared at the laughing witch as she dodges the attack... And then pointed and laughed in return when the bullets from Masako smacked into her. And then she smacks the witch with her gunlance again.

"For--" A star buffeted Isobel, hitting her head and rolling down to her shoulder, "Stop th--" A second star hit Isobel in the thigh, "Oh my G--" Yet another star hit her in the gut, expelling her breath. "Jesus fucking Christ! STOP that!" Isobel snapped, looking at Marisa with a thoroughly irritated expression -- at this point, she was starting to in fact look pretty beaten up. "I swear, I am really going to lose it if this keeps up," the botanist mumbled to herself, pulled a poppy out of her bag, and this time ate it herself, necessitating much less surprise and "why is a flower being shoved in my face" than the usual.

 

LOTUS, meanwhile, merely stayed the course. The situation was not, she calculated, urgent enough to necessitate anybody being told where to move, and it seemed that the only person putting anything out with any potential efficiency issues was using a rocket jump so blazingly hot that she couldn't really give any advice regarding it. It was still important to beat the tar out of their foe, however, and probably even more important to facilitate that than before. "Keep it up! Now that we have multiple things coming to her, go for..."

The mass of magic flying through the air only continued to grow more and more intense, yet what felt like a chaotic mess from within still managed to hold a certain sense of grace - not that it was easy to see it, as most of the team was still occupied with trying to weave through it or brace for the impacts. Impacts that continued to mount as the storm of magic built towards a climax, energy swirling around Marisa until it finally burst outward. Masako takes the brunt of the shockwave unassisted for [12] damage. Empi's various wards seem to help a bit, the magic pinging against them for [7] damage. The layered barriers about Rory prevent her from taking damage entirely. Hikari has the magic intended for her intercepted by Ritsu, who harmlessly absorbs and disperses the energy. Lambda intercepts one hit for Walmond as well as taking her own, suffering [16] damage, but one shot manages to slip past her and strike Walmond for [6] damage. Finally, another pair of stars collides with the herbalist, Isobel taking [12] damage. 

 

The shockwave strikes the party, and the magic clinging about them seems to pop, leaving them feeling strangely drained in its wake. Ritsu finds herself utterly drained despite the amount of energy took up, and is stunned! The field of darkness in the area seems to have faded with the spell. 

 

Isobel eats one of her own medicinal poppies immediately afterward, while LOTUS continues to rattle off targeting data; she recovers [24] HP. 

 

Empi gives Masako some new advice on showing off to pretty girls, increasing Masako's Intelligence by 7. The mental exercise of trying to find good advice for the tengu grants her the same. 

 

Rory manages to move in on Marisa during her recovery, striking the witch for [16] damage. She loses 3 initiative, and feels like it'll probably be hard to land any hits on the witch being left this far behind - unless she's assisted, of course. 

 

Marisa rolls with the hit, using the momentum to swing around and blitz Masako, but the tengu deftly weaves beneath the strike with a smug expression.

 

The tengu then replies with her own burst of danmaku, sharpened with Empi's assistance. The bolts track the magician-thief and strike for [20] damage. 

 

Hikari calls another Session! She fires her own weapon to start it off, but once again, the witch weaves around her gunfire. However, she's not able to avoid the followup strike of Rory (who barely manages to make contact) for [23] damage, and Ritsu, who snaps out of her daze long enough to swing her chainsaw for [19] damage. 

 

Walmond fires of a set of lightning bolts at Marisa, and [29 vs 29 - Defender wins tie] the witch barely manages to shrug off the lingering effects, while taking [6] damage. Lambda, meanwhile, resets her Defensive Modifications.

 

Marisa splays her hand outward and fires a burst of danmaku at Isobel. It strikes her despite her attempts to dodge for [17] damage. The stars bounce off of her and strike Empi for another [14]. 

 

Ritsu recovers from her stun.

Note: I forgot to apply Empi's damage buff during the turn. Damage numbers are lower than they should be, but the actual damage dealt is still correct.

"OW! GOD DAMN!" Isobel finally shouted, as she was not only initially battered but also nearly knocked right over. The third set of stars fired by the witch had neatly turned around after her attempt to duck and slammed her hard in the side of the head; she'd managed to correct her movements to stay up, but the botanist had some choice words about the situation.  "Fuck! Holy SHIT, she just will not let up off of me! I really can't focus on much but keeping myself upright like this. Even then there's only so much tricord in these things and she is really just beating the hell out of me!" Isobel pulled another poppy out of a green pouch at her side, and proceeded to impressively vehemently eat the flower.

 

LOTUS frowned at the plight of his holder -- it was in fact his-- her-- whatever, job to help her out, and that meant that she didn't like watching Isobel kind of just get swatted around, but considering that she was at most a foot tall there really wasn't much she could do about it. Besides allowing the others to beat their foe up more efficiently, anyhow. "Rory! If you want to keep up with the witch-broom woman there, you'll want to move yourself across those treetops to the left! They're scanning to be pretty stable, and you won't have to weave around trees like even she has to, so you should probably be able to keep up with at least us!"

 

Isobel uses Healing Poppy on herself again, swearing bitterly and also healing herself for 4d4+INT damage!

LOTUS uses Pathing Advice on Rory, fixing Rory's initiative directly behind LOTUS and Isobel's for this round and the next!

Marisa, still annoyed by Rory, careens at the hunter, smashing into him and sending the hunter careening off for [42] damage. She then turns about and casts another seal. A ring of light forms itself about Walmond, glowing for a moment before dissipating as the healer felt himself cut off from his magic. All of Walmond's non-equipment actions are disabled for two turns!

 

Isobel eats a poppy in what is possibly the angriest manner possible, recovering [19] HP. LOTUS, meanwhile, helps Rory position herself to actually get a good angle on Marisa when she comes around next.

 

Rory catches Marisa as she passes by with her lance, dealing [21] damage. The stake explodes right on cue, dealing an additional [10] and painting a slightly startled look across the witch's face. 

 

Empi insists she's not a healer while healing herself for [29] HP. 

 

Marisa sends out another burst of danmaku, multicolored stars flying at Hikari - until Ritsu intercepts them, absorbing them harmlessly. The rest of the constellation continued flying, off into the woods as Masako deftly avoided the attack once again.

 

Hikari casts another healing spell, causing the bruises and burns of Walmond, Isobel, Lambda, amd Empi to begin fading away. They heal for [19]. 

 

Marisa flies upward, gaining altitude and raising a hand in the air. Rays of light begin to rise up from the earth below, almost looking as if she's targeting herself as they frame her once more. Marisa's Light Sign "Earthlight Ray" targets Walmond and Lambda! In one turn, they will take 32 damage! The attack seems like it could be easy to deal with if you focused on it. . . She also activates another Condition Card! Marisa will instantly use Hate-Colored Master Spark if she drops to 0 HP! Lasts for 1 turn.

 

Masako fires another quick burst of danmaku at the witch as she begins her final assault, dealing 23 damage. 

 

Walmond attempts to heal, but the spell sputters and fails due to the interference of hostile magic. Lambda takes up a defensive stance.

 

Ritsu charges at Marisa, who simply dips below the arc of the attack.

Walmond

 

Just as Walmond lifted her arms to send out another wave of healing, the ring of light Marisa set upon her had disspiated, causing the magic in Walmond to sputter out and fade away, "... Huh" Walmond muttered, looking at her hand in confusion before refocusing on the fight again... Mostly by taking notice of the large amount of projectiles currently coming directly towards him.

 

"Lambda, evade!" she commanded, just as Lambda readjusted her grip on her master, keeping her shields up to protect him, and flying up to avoid Marisa's most recent attack.

Isobel finally let out a sigh of relief -- a few seconds were passing by now where she WASN'T getting the tar continually beaten out of her. And with her own safety no longer such an urgent concern, she tossed a flower Lamba's direction. "Ah, hah, here! Jesus, this is actually beginning to get pretty tiring..."

 

"Hold off from her for a few seconds -- those danmaku are going to present a problem if you lunge for her, I think. Just hold back and recover your strength!" LOTUS followed this up with some tactical advice on movement for Masako.

 

Isobel uses Healing Poppy on Lamba, healing her for 4d4+INT damage!

Masako darted back after her last attack, eyeing the un-ordinarily crazed witch.  She was starting to lag a bit, so far as the tengu could tell; about time, after the amount of danmaku they'd been tossing.  But while Marisa was on the verge of getting forced to eat whatever grass was left in the craters that were the local battlefield, that just meant she was plotting to use a big, last-ditch spell card.  One which, by all the logic (!) inherent in danmaku, would be going off whether they attacked now or tried to wait down the timer.

 

Still, with the others already pulling back on defense, she couldn't use any particularly clever solution to the problem.  Unfortunately, she was forced to follow suit for now, waiting for an opening--and planning her own rebuttal, if Marisa should give up on waiting.

 

Masako guards.

 

Masako activates her conditional!  If targeted by an attack that would reduce the tengu to 0 hp, Masako activates Crow Sign "Reflective Mimicry" on Marisa.

 

As a free action, Masako uses Swift Scan on Marisa!  As a free action, target one enemy.  Reduce that enemy's flat DR by (3/4 INT), and reduce percentile-based resistances to all effects and debuffs by (INT*3) percentile, to a minimum of zero, for 1 turn.

Marisa's light show continues, warped rays of light continuing to stab upward from the earth at the party. The myriad beams of light threaten to converge on Hikari and Isobel if they don't avoid them!

 

Isobel feeds Lamdba a genetically modified poppy, and the medicines quickly set to work repairing her as best as they could. She recovers [11] HP. LOTUS, meanwhile, gives Masako some brief advice on movement.

 

Rory takes the opportunity afforded by the advice he recieved earlier to reposition.

 

Masako dodges Marisa's danmaku while setting up her own spread, threatening Marisa if she tried to move in for a kill.

 

Empi uses her own enchantment to counteract the one on Walmond, allowing her to cast spells once again.

 

Yet more beams of light shoot upwards at the party, this time converging towards Lambda once more!

 

Hikari casts an enchantment on Rory, increasing the power of her strikes once more. The surplus energy allows him to recover 6 HP. 

 

Marisa's assault continues, this time tracing lines from the ground through Isobel again and then seemingly through herself. Lambda manages to weave around the attack, but Walmond is struck for 32 damage, fried by a laser!

 

Not wanting to take another hit, Walmond focuses on dodging, as does Lambda. 

 

Ritsu moves to patch up Rory, allowing him to recover [15] HP.
