Reprise! Act 1!

[Ginnezumusha]

Ginn, noticing that the monster was dealing the with the flying man, stealthily made his way to where the monster and his open patch of flesh was.  Drawing a special kunai out of his holster, Ginn checked to make sure the hollowed out kunai was still holding the correct payload before striking.

Ginn stabbed deep enough to get the kunai stuck in the flesh, and fled.

[Carthrat]

With Ryoma essentially sitting on the creatures head, the thing started trashing about, trying to shake him off.

This made it somewhat difficult for Ginn to actually stab the kunai in deep; the hole was not particularly large. However, by fate or chance, the dagger managed to penetrate far enough that it wasn't coming back out..

The monster didn't appear to notice; instead of turning and snapping at Ginn, it began to cast another spell, the moans echoing from it's mouth..

[Ginnezumusha]

Ginn promptly stuffed the mouth (from a distance) with more kunais.

[Rezantis]

Having had a moment to catch her breath and get the monster looking at somewhere else again, Relm stepped out from the building (well, most of a building) she was standing behind and lobbed a ball of ice the size of a person's head towards the creature's open mouth.

It was moving faster than it should have been, too, given that she didn't look like she'd thrown it that hard.

[Bean Bandit]

Ryoma growled, tightening his grip, and cracking his knuckles.

"Okay, you are ridiculously powerful." he grumbled. "No one likes a showoff... let's see if you have any brains to rattle."

Still holdin on tightly, he wound up for a punch.  Kami, this is going to hurt... With all of the considerable force at his disposal, he slammed his fist into the creatures's forehead, rolling his hand to create the 'double impact' effect of the Futae no Kiwami, and hopefully jarring whatever was taking up space in the creature's skull. Hissing in annoyance at the stab of pain that slid up his arm from using the Futae no Kiwami repeatedly, he let go of his handhold, allowing the monster to shake him off...

[Carthrat]

Between the knives Ginn was chucking, the ice Relm was slinging, and the punch Ryoma was giving, two inevitable outcomes occured.

Firstly, the spell the monster was casting *fucked up*. Instead of a jarring blast of energy to any creatures touching it in a bid to get rid of the guy on it's head, a jarring blast of energy shook up it's body somewhat badly.

Secondly, it was clearly hurting badly. Blood was rushing out it's mouth at an alarming rate, and it was now suffering from spasms as the poison within Ginn's daggers started to do it's work.

Continued combat in the face of such adversity was unlikely.

With a blinding flash, the creature dissapeared, leaving behind a seriously damaged town, full of villagers wondering what the fuck just happened, union officials looking for blame, and a mage emerging from the rubble.

And somewhere on the scene, a 6'2 woman lugging around a club decided that making an exit would be a good idea around now..

OOC: Aww, but if he wasn't powerful, we'd all rape him too easily, and that's no fun. ^^

[Bean Bandit]

Ryoma fell through the air, extending his wings to slow his descent, alighting on the ground, and then retracting them. "Ow." he muttered, then glanced at the remains of the town. "No meals available there, I'm guessing." he decided, then cast about for his duffel and wrapped bundle.

Finding them a few hundred yards away, he went to retrieve them, then turned away from the villiage, and began to walk.

[Rezantis]

Well, great.  That hadn't been particularly entertaining, but nor had it been particularly exhausting, and now she was in a particularly annoyed mood.

At least they'd gotten rid of the damn monster, though.  A bit of carnage was regrettable, but that wasn't her fault . . . where the hell were the mages from the guild, dammit?

Turning on her heel, Relm walked off quickly in the direction of the Mage Guild . . .

[Carthrat]

..and bumped into a nosy-looking mage wearing some kind of officus robe.

"Would you be the magi casting spells without a permit?" he asks, looking down at her.

[Rezantis]

"Oh, you're from the Mage Guild.  Perhaps you'd like to explain why you were ignoring the monster rampaging through the town?"

Relm fixed the mage with glare cold enough to freeze him solid where he stood.

Well, not literally.

Not yet.

[Carthrat]

"What monster?" the mage replies, questioningly. "This looks like the work of people who don't know what they're doing with their.. *ahem* abilities to me."

[Rezantis]

Relm facepalmed.

"Not this again . . . If you somehow" and Relm's tone made it clear that you'd have to have the intelligence God gifted the average boulder with, "missed all the tremors and fifty foot centipede, the town just got attacked by some kind of wyrm.  People hurt it.  It promptly vanished.  Copious amounts of monster blood on the ground over there," She waved in the general direction, "go and have a look."

[Carthrat]

"What people? Do you have names?" replies the mage, glancing around. "I've heard rumours of a highly destructive man flagrantly ignoring union rules.."

Carthrat-chan chose this moment to wander by, her previous decision to leave overtaken by the decision to get some food.

[Rezantis]

"Well, I saw a man get into an argument with the bartender last night, but I haven't seen him since last night.  There were two men who I don't know attacking the wyrm-thing, and . . . " she pointed quickly the 6"2 woman who'd been throwing explosives around, "there, she's the fourth person."

OOC: The -moment- he looks, Relm walks off towards the Mage Guild.  Not runs, walks.

[Carthrat]

Carthrat-chan blinks as she's indicated out. "Eh? What?"

The mage takes a quick glance at Carthrat-chan. "You! Did you play a part in the destruction of the town?"

Carthrat-chan shakes her head. "Naw, that was all the big-worm-thing. You can ask her about it!" she continues, pointing at the retreating figure of Relm. "She was all, uh, well, the thing was BIG, so I suppose she may as well've been up-close with it.

That'd take serious guts, man."

The mage snorts. "Yeah, I'll bet she was 'up-close'," he replies, hurrying after Relm into the guild.

"Eh? Whaddya mean by that?" replies Carthrat, curiously, following..
