Turn 4
~Battle Theme (Domain Boss)~
Party A:
Player Turn:
Mio continues her barrage of magically-boosted punches, dealing 26 damage.

Eirika has at her opponent with her sword, stabbing at it! Her first stab deals 3 damage, but her swiftness allows her a second attack, dealing 5 damage.

Anna aims and fires at the Taurus Vertex with an ice Dust-loaded shot, dealing 6 damage. However, the shot doesn’t seem to have had any effect on its dodging ability, perhaps because the Vertex dwarfs them all in size and so finds it hard to actually dodge any of their attacks.

Yuki decides to defend Idou this turn, redirecting half of all damage directed to Idou to Yuki.

Idou poses magnificently by doing a backflip onto Yuki’s shield and shouting Just who the hell do you think we are?! at the Taurus Vertex in a stroke of exceedingly high bravado! Despite the inherent foolishness of this manoeuvre, everyone is nonetheless heartened by this courage. Everyone receives a +1 boost to all stats. Idou then proceeds to get behind the rather large shield protecting him once he remembers himself.

Mint Gale flies between Idou and the Vertex and extends his arms out, acting as a shield for him and assisting the Shieldmaiden Hero in defending him. Mint Gale will take half of any remaining incoming damage not blocked by Yuki, up to 12 HP.

Ayane burns more herbs in her censer, but the scent is not intended to harm, but to heal. Indeed, Idou is reinvigorated by the scent, regaining 21 HP. Due to the synchronization between Idou and his Stand, the heal manages to heal Mint Gale as well.
Enemy Turn:
The Taurus Vertex continues to rampage, dealing 14 damage to all combatants. Idou’s damage is split between himself, Yuki and Mint Gale; between all of them, all of Idou’s damage is negated, along with any split-off damage. However, due to the synchronization, Idou takes the damage nonetheless when the unprotected Mint Gale is smacked in the face.

The first Bovus Vertex attempts to move in on a seemingly weakened Idou, but once more, the combined defense of Idou, his Stand and the shieldmaiden are too strong, negating all damage. It then goes after Mio, dealing 7 damage to her.

Anna is the first target for the second Bovus Vertex, who smacks her for 6 damage. Eirika is next, taking 9 damage.

Sachi’s voice comes into their heads, sounding concerned.
B-be careful, guys. I don’t want you to be hurt. Try to defend a-a bit more, and heal if you can.

Party B:
Player Turn:
Chryssa, by now, entirely frustrated, attempts a retaliatory kick against both Vertex. She does 20 damage to both of them, but fails to either dislodge herself or kill either of them.

The Primordial finally hugs her waifu Alanis, completely healing her.

Alria slashes at one of the Vertex holding Chryssa down, hoping to force it to let her go. Her attack deals 12 damage, but it is neither enough to kill it nor to convince it to let Chryssa go. Judging by how it seems to be shaking, however, the Mus Vertex seems to be in critical status from the attack.

Ian lashes out with her electrically-charged gauntlets, smashing his claw into the nearest Vertex possible! The unfortunate Vertex explodes in a storm of lightning and dust, splattering Ian in the sparkling remains that disappear very quickly.

The spear-wielding Hero is quick to follow suit, attempting her elegant manoeuvres once more and this time landing her first strike, dealing 16 damage. Before she continues, however, the Vertex disintegrates, too weakened to take much more pounding.

Alanis, clearly fearing more wounds, draws up a Kinetic Shield around herself. She creates a 20 HP shield of kinetic force around herself.

The Big Daddy bashes a Vertex in the face with his drill. He has some luck for once and kills the creature.

Motya is completely oblivious to his patient’s ordeal and executes surgery on her regardless. He heals 24 health on Chryssa.
Enemy Turn:
The Vertex, ignoring Motya and Alria, continue assaulting Chryssa and holding her down, dealing 15 damage to her.

Another pair continue their attack on the uncaring Primordial, dealing 22 damage. It that Embraces is now critical!

Motya and It that Embraces regenerate their wounds, gaining 7 and 6 HP respectively. It that Embraces remains in critical status.

Party C:
Player Turn:
Hikari attempts to fire another arrow at the Pisces Vertex, but the barrier flickers once her arrow makes contact and her damage is nullified. Hikari falls back, turning to everyone.
”I think the barrier’s starting to block different attacks now, but I’m not sure just yet…..”

Tink builds an Arcane Pulse Generator, mounting it next to him. The Generator activates and deals 4 damage to the Vertex.

”Hey, listen up! If you think some light show’s gonna kill us, you’re wrong! Just who the HELL do you think we are?! Eat THIS!”
Chizuru resumes blasting it with petals while yelling at the top of her voice, dealing 7 damage. Not that this dampens her enthusiasm.

The remaining Overclocker attacks the Vertex, dealing 6 damage.

Garnt calls upon powers beyond this world to heal Tink. The powers that be answer his call, healing Tink, Hikari and Chizuru, healing the former by 19 health, Hikari by 9 health and restoring Chizuru to full health.

Sandra rushes over to the wounded archer, slapping a bandage on Hikari’s wounds. She begins to heal, regaining 2 health. Sandra will need to stay put to finish dressing Hikari’s wounds.

Periw overclocks her blaster, managing to fire twice with the weapon! However, the barrier absorbs both shots, and neither does any damage to the Vertex. Her turret’s shots are also similarly reduced, dealing only 2 damage. The Large Robonoid attempts to follow up on it, but the barrier flickers when the metal burst makes contact, making the attack only deal 2 damage.

The Fel Cannon fires upon the Vertex again, dealing 3 damage.
Hikari shakes her head.
”It’s absorbing most of our projectiles this time, it seems….be on your guard. I’m useless for now.”
Enemy Turn:
The Vertex’s orb glows bright red before unleashing a devastating laser, searing a gash into the roots and ground underneath and blasting all party members!
Hikari takes 2 damage.
Tink takes 10 damage. His Generator is destroyed!
Chizuru takes 4 damage.
The Overclocker takes 8 damage.
Garnt takes 3 damage.
Sandra takes 7 damage.
Periw manages to negate the damage with her fortifications, barely.
The Large Robonoid takes 7 damage.
The Fel Cannon takes 8 damage.

It then uses the same confusing laser on Periw as it did on Tink, striking her for 12 damage and confusing her with the light array.

For good measure, it blasts Periw again with a normal laser, dealing 7 damage. She is now in critical status!   

The Vertex is damaged by the burns of Chizuru’s spell, taking 8 damage as the burns wear away.

Chizuru and Hikari heal 2 health from the bandages.

Melodia waves at him and continues walking, checking out her pictures of making out with Reynard.

((The secretary is calling Annie's parents trying to figure out if they left anything out when they applied for her since Annie is apparently either a golem or a legion of insane spirits smushed into a teenage girl's form.

While the Nurse is trying to figure out IF that's the case or she's just violently insane.))

((rip in pis))
You should have them in your files over there."

The Nurse uses a phone. What a surprise.
"You never DID call me back after that one dinner we had"I attempted to run a mental scan to detect any magical or conditioned blocks after I received reports of potential mental tampering with a student. She reacted violently, so I was forced to use a bind to protect myself and other staff members from potential injury.

I did detect something rather alarming, but I am currently cross-referencing it with previous students to see if I've seen something similar on their files."

Alria is the last person who needs to move before I can post the turn.
