Alpha wrote:Still angered at the being it had been chasing, the creature continues chasing after Nogare, completely bypassing the Sheikah woman who had just attack it. Though the Vassal has been getting ready for the imminent attack, he is taken back by the incredible speed of the Kroperg as its jaws rip into the son of Greyblade's skin. Not only does Nogare lose 3 HP to the tusks' ripping force, but he feels the poison that Shada only recently gotten rid of infecting his body.

"ARGH!" Nogare struggled to stand. This pain was critical. This was as much pain as he would if a grunt had only 28 HP. But what made him suck it up was what he was fighting for... for Alpha... for the King.... for Hyrule...

The son of Greyblade shoved himself to his feet, wincing by the sting. The poison made it worse... but Hyrule was more important than a little bit of poison.

Cloud's staff started to glow red, green, and blue. Then returned to normal.

Nogare! As long as you keep distracting that beast I will heal you when you become tired!

Nogare tried to smile to Cloud, showing thanks. But only a snear and a grim smile came. It was not of hatred... it was of the pain he was taking in...

He flet slightly stronger, but not much. He ignored what had happened, and continued to holler at the beast. He lifted a rock, and threw it true to it's left eye. It stung to throw, and his veins shot like a bomb. He was breathing hard, and he fell to the ground, shocked by the pain. Not even his feet would move. He could only watch as the beast made it's attack*.

*Alpha, how about, just for RP affect, I lose my AGI for this turn. Savy?

OOC: Like how I made you're name blue, Cloud?

crap! kasei tosses morew bombs at the cieling... and one at the beast...

Clink. Near the entrance to this room, you can see Arco crouching in the corner. His dagger-point touching the floor, his eyes are raised to the room, and scan the objects within it: the Kroperg, the ceiling, the floor, the others in the party. What else can be said of his eyes? Merely that they are gray--but aren't they always? Then also, perhaps, that the disturbing anemic quality in his irises gives you the inclination to look away, with alacrity?

Large words aside, there's nothing else to note... other than that Arco simply looks how he always looks when he's thinking, which he's always doing, and thus he looks how he always looks--that is, how he looks when he's thinking; anyway, this sentence isn't very interesting, and neither is Arco. Tada.

Eventually, the Sheikah-Goron seems to come to terms with what his fellow adventurers are trying to do. He side-steps along the wall for a few paces until out of the direct gaze of the Kroperg, and then taps the wall experimentally, as well as seeing how easily he can jab his finger into the building material. (Insight Check)

OOC: Sorry about the silence... I've been reading, though ^^.

Cloud scolded himself outloud.

Im so stupid! I was hoping for more! Curse you goddesses!

Soon, a large thunderbolt came down and missed Cloud by inches.

Eep! Sorry goddesses!

OOC: Yes, blue is cool! Blueblueblueblueblueblueblue! Ok, caffein rush over.

Now you may be may be wondering what had Alex been doing in the last minutes, well he came up with an awesome discovery; a bag full of bombs 'Yeah!, How could this get here, well it doesn't matter'
"Here take this!" he yelled at the creature, waiting for it to open his mouth to throw a bomb right down it's throat...

Tayro was glad his tactics had worked. In a last attempt to flood the room, the impact would have to be grand. Remembering the method previously done by him, he grinned.
You're gonna go down, piggy!
The hylian ran to the wall, turning his back against it. Hands on the wall, he sneered at the oversized boar, taunting the beast to come at him. Again not losing track of the beast's movements, he got ready for another dash when the creature came against him. {Dodge Check}
"This room could use some major cleaning, wouldn't you say?"-he told his team, not taking his eyes from the beast's hideous form.

IC: Nogare needed to focus. He wasn't about to let this foe live. But he wasn't the one to stop him. He was the sacrifice. And he was willing to accept this fate. As long as the great beast was concentrating on him the whole time, he will be able to let the others' plan work out. He inhailed sharply as the poison acted on him. "Argh!"

OOC: Uh, sure Nogare, if that's what you want. Oh, and you probably delayed it because I specifically asked for no more musical links.

IC:
Kasei's bomb hits the ceiling and explodes, but again, only a mere portion of the roof falls downward.

Arco's Insight Check fails (11+3[Roll+INT] vs. 15). He is unable to determine anything. The walls or the ceiling remain a mystery to him...though it should be quite evident now that it hurts when one tries to poke their finger into something solid.

The Kroperg, still in stampede mode, flies straight towards Raven. But regardless of the beast's speed, the Sheikah's is still comparable. The thief manages to leap out of the way and the Kroperg's attack misses (6+10[Roll+AGI]). The beast collides with the wall yet again.

As the shockwaves fly throughout the entire chamber, the cracks in the ceiling suddenly intensify. Splinters rush along the entirety of the area as the Kroperg's constant ramming and the bombs' explosions at last take their toll on the room's structure.

Had someone bothered to draw a map of the place, they would have realized that this room lies directly beneath the first room where they had encountered the Piranhells. The water-filled room has long since thawed out...which for once is a good thing.

As the ceiling falls apart, water gushes downward, soaking everything in the room. Piranhells fall down by the hundreds as well, but contact with the air causes them to instantly shrivel up and die. And the Kroperg...well, it might not have died as a result of the exposure, but its fur is completely drenched. Bunched up and softened by the misty spray that continues to fill the room, the beast no longer has its invincibility...or does it?

Nogare loses 3 HP to poison.

Tayro's Dodge Check succeeds (9+6+1[Roll+INT+AGI]). If the Kroperg decides to charge him during the next turn, he'll be ready.

Nogare: 68 HP, poisoned 2 turns

Kroperg: 200 HP

Dogura grinned. "At last! Now get a taste of what im ALL ABOUT!" Dogura screamed, as he leapt up, off a wall, and landed on the beasts back. He quickly dashed to the top of his head, and drove his sword into the now extinguished armor. He smiled malevantly, as his long awaited pain was about to visited upon the reeking beast that was Kroperg. Dogura had never been so happy to shove his sword through somethings skull! He pulls the rest of his spirit into this attack.

OOC: Im using my remaining 2 WILL for this, and i better get an RP bonus for this Also Im going to use:
[Dodge check]
[Awareness check]

OOC: Wow, ZV, you're using a lot. Let's see if it helps any.

IC:
Dogura's sword smashes downward...just as the Kroperg leaps into the air and stomps on the ground, throwing the Vagabond off its back (11+6+2+1[Roll+AGI+WILL+RPB]). The armor may be gone, but the Kroperg is still nearly impossible to hit. Its speed is just too great.

Dogura's Dodge Check succeeds (18+5+6[Roll+INT+AGI]). If the Kroperg decides to attack him this turn, he'll be ready for it, just like Tayro is. His Awareness Check, on the other hand, fails (8+5[Roll+INT]), and he notices nothing new that could help the group in their fight.

The Kroperg turns away from the ranger and focuses his sights on the Vassal that has been bugging it for so long. Nogare has no hopes of being able to dodge the stampeding charge (11+10[Roll+AGI]) and the blow flings him back and against the wall, dealing a full 15 DMG.

Nogare also loses 3 HP to poison.

Nogare: 50 HP, posioned 1 turn

Kroperg: 200 HP

OOC: Oh Yeah!
IC:Alex quickly gained back his spirit after seeing the beast weakned; now this time his foe would take all the potential from the zora race
"Koraaaaad!" he shrieked(OOC:it's a Zoran war scream I just made up)
he jumped over the furry back of Kroperg and started a serie of vicious punches with his daggers, he could feel how they penetrated deeply into the skin, though he wasn't sure nor he cared, he just waned to make the beast feel as much pain as possible. Then he jumped back but as he did, he couldn't help to cut the Kroperg's snout, as soon as he landed he left a bomb beside him, hoping that it would evetualy hurt the Kroperg, and went to his defence stance.
"Alpha, you better be alright!!" and in an attack of rage he threw his boomerang again towards the snout.

Unfortunately, Alex must have been beaten senseless - none of his slices came even close to the beast (4+3[Roll+AGI]). No damage is dealt to the Kroperg at all.

OOC: Please guys, cut down on the god-modding. You can't say that you definitely hit it...primarily because the odds are you won't. It's still got 13 DEF and 10 AGI...you need a total of 24 to beat it.

OOC: If that's the case, then Blank will never be able to hit Kroperg with a physical attack XD The highest chance to hit he can get without using WILL or RPB is 22

IC:

Blank had had just about enough of the boar's wild speed. It angered him that no damage had been inflicted on the beast after all this time. For a moment, his mind raced with far-fetched ideas about how to hinder the Kroperg's agility. He considered asking the magic users or seed-bearers to cast an ice-based spell on the ground, or throw their Arctic Seeds to cause the same effect. However, while a slippery surface seemed to be an ideal battlefield for taking on such a quick beast (normally, the ice would keep the creature from going too fast), Blank knew it was not to be. His previous idea, also involving ice, had only hindered the party's progress. The nomad would not risk letting his comrades slip around on an altered floor. The Kroperg was too powerful to deserve any help.

And so, with no ace left for Blank to use, he began to search madly for anything that could possibly slow the boar. He dearly wished that there was a scribe around to perhaps use an analysis technique, and he realized that there had been one. However, if he wasted time to look over the party for one particular character, he would only be wasting time. Time in which the freakishly agile hog would no doubt trample him without mercy. The nomad threw away all concerns and continued to study the surroundings, the enemy, and other points of use, searching for a way to slow the foul porkroast down.

OOC: Yes, that's my way of saying that it would be useful for SL13 to be here right now XD

OOC: ... I'll wager that's it too. Terribly sorry. I have a few memory problems... Please forgive me... I've deleted it already...

So does that count for after the dungeon, too?

IC: The Vassal struggled to suck it up. He succeeded... but pain shot through him still. The poison should wear off soon... he hoped... His right hand couldn't handle much more. It hung like a loose rope. He saw that he needed to get a little closer to the others. His feet were burning with pain. He needed to move. He could last a little bit longer. But was he going to be cursed of this ever? The blows were critical. He hoped so. He shot himself up, hearing a loud crack come from his legs. He yelled at the beast more, to keep it's ears fixed on him. Blood was now pouring from his mouth like a waterfall. He switched his sword to his left hand, since his right was now stinging like salt on a cut. He ran closer to the others, now at his feet, but still kept his distance...

Analysing Blank's last strategy, Alex's mind started rolling over dozens of plans (OOC:What can I say, Alex likes to think a lot); then he stopped.'Maybe we are aiming for the wrong target', he searched his pocket and pulled out a hand full of artic seeds, looking at the Kroperg's constanly moving legs, he synchronized with their rythm...[Insight check]
The time was running out; sooner or later the Kroperg would attack anyone(hopefully Kasei ), including him.
"Hey, pig! Over here mister fangs!" he yelled trying to caught the creature's attention and perhaps stoping it for his porpouse...
When he felt it was the time he threw the seeds directly to the hog's hoofs...
As soon as he released them, he jumped all the way to the point where most of the party rested.[Dodge check]
"I hope... that stops.... it" he said gasping for air "However, that thing is way much faster than it should be...I... don't think we can beat it" he said as he fell to his knees
"We are never going to find Alpha"
