The Slayers Quest

[Ebiris]

As Lina casts her spell, Gourry promptly dives away from the bandit!

[Merc]

The other bandits began to talk amongst themselves nervously at Gourry's statement when the bandit that just got slapped by Gourry growls at him.

Swinging his sword at the blond wildly he states confindently, "Like I'll believe a word of that! The Bandit Killer may be a childish, redheaded, flat as a board, ill-tempered girl, but she'd have to be completely useless and living off only her reputation if she was getting smacked by a waitress! That girl's no Lina Inverse!"

The other bandits start nodding amongst themselves and growl at the swordsman who'd just jumped out of the way, for trying to scare them away.

The bandit coughs as he's hit by a fireball and says, "On the other hand..." before falling to the ground, a charred heap of a man.

Amelia glances toward Lina nervously, her eye beginning to tick again.

"M-miss Lina?"

[Corwin]

"Source of all power," Lina chants, an aura of fire surrounding her, "crimson fire burning bright."

"FLARE ARROW!" she cries out, sending mutliple arrows of fire at all the ten bandits present.

[thepanda]

Climbing to the top of one of the broken suport beams Amelia stands stoticly, pointing toward the heavens.

"The winds call, the earth calls, but more importantly the people call out for justice!"

She drops her arm toward the bandits, pointing an acussing finger. Lightning flashes in the background.

"Foul bandits who pluder villages and ruin dinner, you are the evil I must defeat! In the name of Justice," she crosses her arms and stands with one hand pointing over the other arm, "I will punish you!Burst Rond!" She finishes, casting flaming justice into the croud.

[Ebiris]

Seeing the two sorceresses are taking care of business inside the inn, Gourry picks himself up from the rubble and exits, looking around for the bandit in black armour, and trying to determine the man's skill.

[Merc]

Of the bandits within range, eight are hit by the spells of both Amelia and Lina, though two are shielded by their friends.

The injured fall to the ground, grasping their bodies in burned pain, but are not yet out, their armors helping to shield them a bit as well.

Angered, the two lucky ones call for reinforcements as the others gingerly get up, grasping their weapons. All of their eyes are ablaze as they make a scream of fury and rush at the two sorcereresses.

The waitress screams and covers her head, shuffling away from Lina and back into the relative safety of the rubble, tears of fear in her eyes.

Gourry in the meantime finds himself staring face to face with the leader of the gang. He motions for the other bandits to go into the broken down tavern. The swordsman was his....

"ROY!" he shouts to the sky.

...and the dragon's. The dragon lands on top of a nearby building, crushing it under his weight, and stares at Gourry.

OOC: your judge opponent skill tells you that the boss's ACV is around 6-8, he has a high focused damage with that axe, and is very skilled with it. He's slow though, because of the weight of his armor and axe and has no extra attacks per round.

[Corwin]

With a cry of "Balus Rod!" Lina summons a whip of light, rushing the bandits with it.

[Ebiris]

Gourry gulps at the sight of the Dragon... hopefully Lina would be able to scare it away before things got too serious, but for now his priority is dealing with the leader. With a flash of silver, his sword is drawn and held ready, and, wasting no more time, the blonde swordsman moves to attack!

OOC: I'm attacking the Bandit chief twice this round, saving one of my extra attacks for two defence attempts.

[Asrana]

Caelena growled as she pushed rubble off of herself, trying to brush debris out of her knee length black hair. Kicking more pieces of roof away, she observed the scene about her, looking for some way to release her annoyance with being interrupted...

[thepanda]

Amelia hops from broken post to broken post before stopping across from the dragon.

"Fireball!"

[Merc]

The dragon roars as its hide is hit by a fireball. It didn't cause much pain, but it was annoying. A full glare is directed towards Amelia, the swordsman and its master momentarily forgotten. A jet of fire flies towards Amelia from the dragon's opening maw.

Gourry in the meantime makes a dash at the boss bandit, his sword drawn ready to strike. The bandit grins however as he blocks deftly, but the grin soon vanishes as Gourry spins and hits him from behind, leaving a large crack in his armor and drawing some blood. Roaring, he swings his axe downward, barely missing Gourry as rock pieces fly upwards from the axe's impact while Gourry backsteps, ready for more.

As five of the bandits are dispatched by Lina's whip usage, the five other bandits and nine new ones focus their sight on both Lina and Caelena, ready to avenge their fallen comrades.

OOC: Amelia's up first, then Gourry.

[thepanda]

Amelia deftly leaps toward the first bit of cover she can find with a heroic cry of "Eeeeeek!"

[Ebiris]

With the Dragon currently distracted, Gourry presses his attack against the bandit chief even harder, holding nothing back!

[Merc]

A blast of fire flies above Amelia as she leaps for cover, jumping down towards Gourry and the boss bandit, landing a bit off balance. A bit of her hair is singed and smoking, but thankfully, not on fire.

The boss bandit makes a frantic block with his axe as Gourry attack furiously, shouting, "ROY! GET YOUR HIDE HERE AND HELP!"

As with the last strike, Gourry's first attack is blocked, and the second one gets through, this time a shallow cut appearing in the boss bandit's arm, followed by another strike towards his back.

The bandit's armor crackes, falling off. Hissing, the boss bandit eyes Amelia and runs towards her, his axe swinging downward.

The dragon turns towards its master, delighted by his master attacking his annoyance, and chooses to be of likewise help, launching another jet of fire, this time towards Gourry and preventing him from coming to Amelia's aid.
