Slow Party
The tense moment ended with the thunder. The green cloaked man moved first, wind whipping from his hands at the doctor! (8+2 vs 6+2; Massive Success, 2d4x2; 10-2=8 damage. 2+2 vs 1+2; Minor Success, 1d4; 4-2=2 damage. 10 total) Daniel found himself lifted into the air, spun, and thrown against the ground hard enough to rattle his bones! Gritting his teeth, he got to his feet and drew his cross, throwing it right back! (-6 MP. 7+2 vs 7; Major Success, 2d4; 8 damage. 8+2 vs 5; Minor Failure. 2+2 vs 1; Major Success, 2d4; 6 damage. 14 total) He gave as good as he got, though. The cross smacked the wind elemental across the face and returned to his hand, and he tucked it back into his belt. Friar Greenmoore attempted to create Fire shields for himself and his allies. (3+2 Minor Success; 3 shields are created at the cost of 1 MP each but only soak 1/2 damage from the next attack before disappearing. They protect Greenmoore and... Frenz and Zathyran.) Three shields formed, about three feet through the middle, and hovered around himself, the nobleman, and the hunter.
The hoods had blown off of the Gatekeepers with the first's attack, and they all revealed themselves to be Malakai Ritt, their faces cold and dead, their eyes shining with a pale yet burning light that seemed almost to be looking into the depths of Hell itself. The gray Malakai moved first, raising his arm in a manner familiar to his compatriots. A deafening shriek resembling that of an eagle - but wrong, somehow, like there was an undercurrent of human voices in its cry - resounded across the path, and a giant beast alighted on Malakai's wrist. He looked at Avira for a moment, the demon bird's feathers shining with frost, icicles hanging from its body, and lifted his arm slightly while looking at Zathyran. With a cry, Avira launched itself at him! (6 vs 2; Major Success, 2d6; 12-2=10 damage, 10/2 Fire Shield = 5 damage. 2, no element infliction) The bird went right through his shield and its talons tore into his shoulder! ...But if it hadn't been for the shield, it might have gotten his throat, its actual target. Avira flew up and circled around, looking for another opportunity...
Meanwhile, the red Gatekeeper lifted an orb of fire in each hand and tossed them at Wymar! (8 vs 6; 6+1 Major Success, 2d4; 3 damage. 3, no elemental infliction. 6 vs 2; 4+1 Minor Success, 1d4; 2 damage. 5 total) One fireball struck Wymar in the shoulder; the other hit him in the stomach and knocked him off of his feet. The Gatekeepers in black and blue walked over to the gray Malakai, one on each side of him, and watched the party warily. (Shadow: 8. Shadow gets +3 to defense this turn. Ice: 2. Ice gets -2 to defense this turn. Both are protecting Physical Malakai.) While Wymar was down, the Gatekeeper in white advanced on him... (7 vs 6; 5+1 Minor Success, 1d4; 3 damage. 5 vs
It blasted him again with a beam of holy light, rolling the fortune teller across the ground. The Gatekeeper in yellow, on the other hand, was blindsiding the doctor once more! (6+1 vs 8+2. 6+1 vs 4+2; Major Success, 2d4; 4 damage. 2, no elemental infliction.) With a blast of lightning, he sent Daniel to the ground.
Frenz was incensed! "Get them!" he roared, drawing his oversized greatsword and advancing on the trio of Gatekeepers! (Odd = Shadow, Even = Ice: 4. 4+3 vs 5+2-2; 5+3 Massive Success, 2d6x2; 16 damage) His sword struck the blue Gatekeeper in the side with the sound of crunching snow and flung him aside. Wymar, gritting his teeth, pulled himself back to his feet and targeted both the blue and black Gatekeepers with holy white flames! (5+2 vs 3+2-2; Massive+2=Critical Success, 2d6x2+75%; 28+50% weakness=42 damage to Ice. 5+2 vs 2+2+3 (6+2 vs 2+2+3); Massive+2=Critical Success, 2d6x2+75%; 21+50% weakness = 32 damage to Shadow) Both were forced back by the light and fire combination!
Malleus, on the other hand, was charging the brown Gatekeeper! (4+2+1 vs 2; 4+1 Minor Success; auto-soak) The warhammer came down and struck the Gatekeeper directly between the eyes... but Malakai merely chuckled in response! He pushed Malleus back. (8+4 vs 3) Claire, meanwhile, dashed in and stole the red Gatekeeper's staff! Now he couldn't... use it... to... hit... them... That actually didn't help matters at all, did it? (Claire gets Staff! It does blunt damage.) On the other side of the battlefield, Pierre
took off his pointy shades and threw them threw his boomerang at the Gatekeepers! (P: 3 vs 5. F: 7 vs 3. S: 7 vs 6+2+3. Light: 2 vs 5-2. I: 8 vs 5+2-2. Lightning: 7 vs 8+1. W: 8 vs 7. E: 8 vs 2. Thanks to Frenz's boost, Pierre's boomerang deals 1d6 to everyone it hit: Fire, Ice, Wind, and Earth take 4 damage) The boomerang cut into four of the Gatekeepers, but the other four swiftly dodged it!
Finally, Zathyran turned to the Lightning Gatekeeper in yellow and unleashed his fury! (-6 MP. 3+2 vs 5+1. 2+2 vs 1+1; 7+3 Critical Success, 2d6x2+50% +1d6x2+50%; 24+9=35 damage. 4+2 vs 7+1.) He managed to catch him off-guard and shocked him good, the force of the electricity sliding him back across the ground! But as he did so, the brown-cloaked Gatekeeper finally moved, turning the ground below into mud! (6. The party's initiative is lowered by 10 for 3 rounds!)
