Kyo
Mikken
Frida
MonsterOven
[/sblock]

Kyo Slams the thing again, before dancing around to the other side of it, keeping it's attention as he goes, before rushing back in for a second strike. (19/18 damage)

Frida's healing magic encircles her and Mikken, and restores much of their lost vitality.

While the things back is turned, Mikken speaks the magic words and slams darts of force into it, leaving four holes rent through it's back plate. Sparks fly as it screeches in pain(16 damage), Slaming it's door into the floor, Narrowly missing Kyo as he steps back out of the way.
The heat radiating from the beast doesn't seem quite so bad anymore, but still hurts. (4 Fire damage Kyo, 2 each Mikken/Frida due to shield Other).


[sblock=ooc]
Also, last round I forgot to add the heat damage for proximity/melee attack to Kyo. My mistake so I won't make you take it extra this turn. lucky you.
Also, Mikken only took 19 from the fire. The way Shield Other works, you divide the damage in half (Always round down in D&D), and take that. She gets whatever's left over, meaning if it's odd, the extra point of damage goes to the caster.

Also, I restructured the order for description purposes only. (Note frida went before Mikken).

Also, Caros, please don't forget to include AC/HP.
For the record, the thing has currently taken 130 Damage and looks VERY beat up.

*nearby*

Leita looked almost like a zombie as she plodded along with her Uncle Indigo through the streets of the Capital. Leita's mind was elsewhere as she wondered what Kyo was doing right that moment. Indigo had to pull Leita aside as she almost collided with someone coming the other way on the street. ”Leita! You must watch where you are going. You almost ran into that man.” Leita shook her head as if waking from a deep sleep. ”I am sorry uncle. I guess I was daydreaming again.” ”Thinking about Kyo again I suspect. You do think a lot of him don’t you niece.” Leita looked puzzled for a moment as she tried to figure out how Uncle Indigo has obviously read her mind. But then she remembers that he has to listen to her talk about Kyo all the time and realizes that he has not actually read her mind. She blushes at the very idea that she thought he could read her mind. ”I am sorry Uncle Indigo. I will try to keep my mind on my walking.”

It is about this time that they both see a man running down the street yelling something about an oven monster. Indigo sees a number of people streaming out of a hotel down the street. He points toward the commotion. ”Look, Leita! Let’s go see what's going on.” As Indigo finishes his statement he heads towards the hotel. Shrugging her shoulders Leita follows after her uncle. As she goes she wonders, once more, what Kyo is doing at that moment.

Ac - 29, Hp - 90, Pro Fire - 53

Makenai! Kyo shouted, face twisted with anger he swung an ineffectual glancing blow off its thick hide he dodged vicious attack. Planting his feet he whirled around the creature, getting it to follow his steps, turning its facing away from Mikken, away from Frida as he lashed out at it again and again, scoring dents and tears into the metal, the emerald of his eyes becoming more clear, more vivid by the section, seeming to seep down along the length of his body, a trick of the heat perhaps, sending the air about him softly waving.

"I won't lose anyone again!" He cried, his attacks coming with more ferocity, more power. It seemed with each moment he was getting that little bit better, more accustomed to fighting once again, though it was not the calm and collected style that they had known in his youth.

[sblock=Stats]Okay, its that time again folks!!!

Kyo starts with a single tumble, moving away from the oven, around to flank it once again. He takes an attack, tumbles again, and takes an attack. Tumbles succed. 30,34

Kyo's attacks are, +18,+13. One hits 36,14

Damage on the attack. 24

Thats all folks! Oh, and translation? Makenai = Won't be defeated, won't lose etc.[/sblock]

Edit: AC is 29. Yay dodge.

 

[Arkhandus]

Mikken steps around a bit once more, making sure he's opposite Kyo's position before he strikes twice more with his katana, a right-side horizontal slash through the back of the oven followed by a slightly-awkward upward stroke. He sweats and blinks away tears at the heat, though at least rejuvenated by Frida's magic.

[sblock=ooc]Basically just makes sure he's flanking with Kyo, then strikes twice with the blade. I forgot to add in the +2 attack bonus for flanking though, so the rolls' totals were 27 and 15, or 29/17 with the flanking bonus. I also forget, until after the initial rolls, about the bonus damage from Frida's Blessing of the Righteous. *facepalm*

First attack deals 7 damage, second attack is 10 damage if it hits. Sigh. Mikken's definitely got mediocre luck in combat, eh?
The holy damage from Blessing of the Righteous adds +5 damage to the first attack (12 total), and +6 damage to the second attack (16 total).

Mikken's next two-handed double-strike with the katana (1d20+11=27, 1d10+5=7, 1d20+6=15, 1d10+5=10)
Bonus holy damage from Frida's spell (1d6=5, 1d6=6)

Mikken's status is now HP 70/75, AC 23 vs. the oven, and Fort +10/Ref +9/Will +6. 3 spell slots expended so far for the day; Mage Armor, Magic Missile, and Shout.[/sblock]

 

[Sound of Azure]

Frida mutters a short incantation and her gaze falls upon the monster stove. Her eyes flash with divine power and she shouts, "The judgement of the heavens falls upon thee, unnatural creature!"

Mystic symbols appear around the oven monster, beams of light slamming into it.

[sblock=ooc]
I'm Sailor Frida and I will punish you!

Frida casts Deific Vengeance (Complete Divine) on the oven monster, 22 damage (untyped), Will save for half.

Hp 46 (1 extra damage from previous round), still AC 17 [/sblock]

Her eyes returning to normal, she wipes her brow with her sleeve. Frida's grip tightens on her staff and as she warily looks over the battle.

[sblock=initiative order]
Kyo
Mikken
Frida
MonsterOven
[/sblock]

Kyo tears a rent in the weakened armour of the beast(19), while Mikken's assault from the other side also manages to rip a jagged tear in the metal casing. (7)

Frida calls out to the holy powers to punish this beast for it's transgressions, and is answered by a beam of holy light which blasts down, drilling a hole straight through the oven.

Sputtering, obviously on it's last legs, but not QUITE dead yet, the oven rushes forward and SLAMS it's door into Kyo, knocking him backwards painfully (13 damae + 4 fire) though thanks to Frida's protections, he'll only have a bruise instead of a blistering welt.

 

[Caros]

"Chikusho!" Kyo swears, driven back from the hit, feet digging into the ground to slow the force of his backwards momentum, narrowly keeping his balance. The bludgeoning strike had ripped a slash across that elegant white top, and into the flesh beneath, small amounts of blood already seeping into his clothing though he hardly seemed to notice, eyes narrowed, focused.

They really were glowing now, if one worked close enough, the peircing emerald lighting up his eyes, slowly creaping out across his face as his stance widened, left leg out in front, right arm held high, that emerald color lighting up his entire body for a brief moment. Just as quickly it was gone from his skin, shooting up the line of his body to lay brilliant across the 'blade' of his upraised bokken.

"Cut it! Kill it, then turn on them! They failed you, they made you weak" Kyo paused, blade streached up above him, poised for a deadly blow, his eyes fluttering shut, a wince passing across his face, uncertainty marring the moment, causing him to wait a moment longer than necessary, allowing the creature to lunge.

And yet as it moved his voice rang out soft and unbelievably calm given the creature bearing down on him. Mujushin-Ryu Satsujin-ken: Kamaitachi" The next moments were a flash of movement, his speed not unusual, but no longer dedicated to the dancing and evading one expected. No, now he moved forward, striking with the edge of a weapon that now had an edge sharper than many swords.

[Sblock=Attack]This better kill it or I'm going to be mighty embarassed, Sorta hoping for a climactic ending but we'll see.

Kyo does not tumble, he ends his dervish dance, and he takes a single attack. Attack hits ac 25

Damage is 22

Oh, and for translation. Chikusho = Damn/Damnit. Mujushin-Ryu is his style, and its basically sword of the mind, fitting for an int based fighter. Satsujin-ken is Killing Sword technique. Kamaitachi is Razor/cutting wind.[/sblock]

 

[Jemal]

*OOC:I told Caros on MSN that it was almost dead, and he had first init, so I'm just gonna end it here.*


The Oven clumsily lurches forward as the light pours through Kyo, his wooden blade somehow piercing right through the machine, cutting clean from one side to the other, and dropping the broken, sparking maching to the ground, the heat dissipating quickly as the manager runs up, looking from Kyo to the Oven. He was one of those money types, obviously torn between thanking them for stopping the monster, and wanting to charge them for the price of the Oven.

He was interupted by the appearance of Indigo and Leita, as a squeal erupted from the girl when she entered and suddenly realized that she KNEW these people.
When the monstrous oven dropped, she finaly saw him... Kyo...

 

[Caros]

Kyo's breathing was steady, long, hard breaths as he stood amist the wreckage of the machine, blood slowly trickling down his chest, sweat stinging his eyes, mixed with tears he couldn't even begin to explain.

He was glowing no longer, the light fading away in the aftermath of his strike. The beast lay in two pieces, one on either side of him, his wooden sword held loosely, absently in his right hand, seemingly forgotten as he blinked away the sweat and tears, head slowly turning to regard the room.

He recognized the look coming from most of the patrons who had remained. It was a mixture of admiration and fear. Normal men and women could not do the things these three children had, and it frightened them as much as it impressed, nature forever seperating them from others. No matter how hard they might try they were still this strong, no matter if the blade was discarded, the strength remained.

"Keep away from me...leave me alone..." He murmured, eyes distant as he threw down that bokken, hands suddenly shaking.

 

[Sound of Azure]

Frida mumbles a short prayer, invoking the healing spirits to mend the party (ooc: activates Sacred Healing: everyone within 60 feet gains fast healing 3 for 6 rounds. She uses up 1 more turning attempt).

Smiling slightly, she aproaches Kyo and peers around his shoulder, "Hey, bud. Nice light show. You did great!" Frida's smile cracks a little, seeing his anguished expression. She bites her lip and seems about to say something before moving over to Mikken. "You okay? That was pretty impressive." A little of her mirth and exhiliration is gone from her mien as she looks him over, but she continues t do her best to look upbeat.

The oven collapses a bit further inward from its terrible beating, and she gasps, jumping a little. "Eh-heh," she laughs nervously, hand going behind her head, "whew...I thought it was about to get back up again..." She grimaces at such a thought.

At that moment, she hears Leita's squeal, "Who...?" she says, turning toward the source. Her eyes widen as she sees who is approaching...

ooc: Nice limit break, Kyo.

EDIT: changed to reflect Kyo's mood, fixed some grammar errors.
