I wanna be a saikyo HERO!
Alwilda

Skeletons! Now, those she can make sense of!... sort of. Readying her axe, she swings it around in a defensive arc. "Bones! I called it!", she says with a childish smugness.

Initiative is 16. Terrain is... mountain, I presume, if it's relevant? Doesn't seem ruined enough for Ruins or cold enough for Snow.

Wait, something is wrong.
Skeletons boil out of the closet, and suddenly Varakyn knows them all too well. That orphanage. The hateful place, so early, almost forgotten. Yet those two and their gaggle of wretched foundlings. Before she was found. Before she was selected. Burning hate flashes in the eyes of the lead skeleton, wearing the tatters of an evening gown and scraps of long, red hair still clinging to the skull. "YOUUUUU," the thing hisses as it backhands Varakyn across the face. "YOOOOOU!" the accusation rings as she can taste fresh blood in her mouth. Another one, in the tatters of a foul suit and a ridiculous moustache falls on Exclairmonde, a vicious dagger slash.

Then the others come. The murderous troupe of those forgotten, bent to hate. And finally, that dog. The gods damned dog. They were all here. They had all finally come for her. They were all here. A future that could have been, a past that almost was not.


Varakyn is engaged by Skeleton Miss Hannigan and hit for six, Exclair is also hit for six. Please post statblox so I don't have to look you up! You can roll to hit and damage for yourself, I trust you. When Mors shows up he can roll proper init.

She launches herself back at the skeletal thing, jabbing with the heavy iron to clear some space, then twisting it to catch at bones with the hook as she yanks it back.

'That is an awful lot of skeletons', thinks Niamh, as they continue pouring out of the closet like some macabre fairground trick. She starts chanting the dread chant of unbinding, trying to disperse the necromagnetic bonds holding the aged bones together, though to limited success. The dwarf skeleton fares no better, barreling towards a pack of orphan bones but failing to connect with its bumbling attempt at a headbutt.

Hannigan staggers back under the ferocity of the blow, but is undaunted. Nimah and her charge wade into a group of shorter skeletons, giving one a pretty good whack. Skeletal Sandy the Hound bounds towards Varakyn, the thirst of revenge hot in her eyes but her teeth snap shut on nothing at all! That dog did always kind of suck at everything.

Alwilda looks over to a group of skeletons, and leaps over, slamming down with supernatural force as she creates an unseen shockwave as if some giant had crashed down. However, she simply wrecks a table in the way, sending it flying, but doesn't nail the skeletons behind it. "Tch! This is too cramped-", she says, frowning, and swings her axe in a warning motion.

Engaging the second set of skeleton mooks and performing Whoomph!. With a 7, Whoomph! will whiff, and doesn't do any miss damage against them.

The mob swarms the skeletal dwarf, but the redoubtable minion swats all challenges aside. Except for one, which stings. A shot from what looks like a frying pan puts a big ol' crack into the skull of the minion. Good thing there are a lot of extra bonesaround. Wading into the swarm, Alwilda gets knocked about but good! No lasting blows, nothing dire. The little bastards don't seem very good at this, not at all. At least they have stopped singing.

Sorraza

Sorraza rears onto her hind legs and roars.

"UNDEAD MONSTERS! Time to be a hero!"

She's enjoying the hell out of this, dragon form or no. She rushes forward at her fellow quadruped, the skeletal dog Sandy.

"I'll handle this, Varakyn! C'mon, Egg~!"

She plants her claws on the floor, flapping her wings and roaring at the dog. Her scales shimmer, blue and red in the pale light, and flames erupt from her throat, coating the dog. Despite its bony nature, they stick and burn as well as they might on cloth or flesh. Egg lands on top of her head, chattering away at the skeletons as only a crow can.

Damage: [15:59] <Morphball> MorsRattus: 8 = 1d6(5)+3 - 8 fire damage, plus 1d8 ongoing fire damage each turn, save ends.

Bastard skeletons. Didn't see the knife before it was already striking me.

"Varakyn! What are you waiting for? Strike these drat things down now or throw your spear to the ground!"

Basic Tactical Strike on Varakyn, giving her a basic attack as a free action.

"And you, skeleton, I'll have you broken to bits myself!"

Or would, the crowd of skeletons and the small hut make it difficult to maneuver the large sword, only end up winging it with the pommel.

"YOU MISERABLE CURRRRR," Rooster screams through his flapping jaw as he presses the assault on Exclairmonde. The knife swings wide, skimming her armor but not much else. Miss Hannigan leans in hard at Vara screeching something incoherently but the flurry of blows only succeeds in sending her red wig flying across the room! "AHHHHHH," she queals in rage and furstration. "AHHHHHHH."

Meanwhile, Sandy runs around in a circle, yelping and barking like her rear end is on fire. Which it is, so it makes total sense.

Wait, something is wrong.
Vara smashes Hannigan right in the face, the skull half shattering as the tip of the spear punches right into the glowing, burning eye and rips out the back. She screams, a horrible thing, and staggers backwards. Whatever horrible magics hold those bones together are barely working now, she is beginning to fall to bits in the most literal sense possible. The opened chunk of skull burns with a reddish blue flame, pulsing. Vara can see it leaking out, dissipating into the air. Hannigan's essence. Her very soul. It distracts her long enough for Sandy to bury her fangs in Vara's arm, so hard that teeth shatter on her armor. None stick in the wound, at least. A minor blessing. Sandy does not seem terribly happy about things in general however, as the scraps of flesh she has left continue to burn and crackle and pop. Blackened bones remain, but even they are starting to fall apart.

Still, through all of this, the skeletal children, hobbity looking little bastards that they are, continue to chant and sing.


Sandy fails her save.

Shifting as if shoulder-blocking, Alwilda's presence expands, the air forming a larger silhouette around her... that mainly smashes against the ceiling, bringing wooden boards down on her head with a wince. Still, she outgrows her wounds, her bruises already being shrugged off by the power of the Koru. "Stupid bones, come on, just try me!", she shouts, before adding more softly to the dwarven skeleton: "Oh, ah, not you, you're cool."

Whoomph! rolls a 7 to hit!... well, since she's clearly going to stay engaged with them and most other folks aren't engaged, she'll activate her battle version of Regeneration. She'll burn a Recovery and heal 4 HP, and Regeneration will continue next turn.

Sorraza poses dramatically, her wings spread wide and her behatted head held high. "We're doing fine, keep it up!" She snaps at the dog again, grinning. Her scales tint blue, electricity sparking between her teeth. With a roar, she fires off a blast of electricity towards the dog.

Energy crackles all over the drat place as Sorazza cuts loose, but all it does is make the remaining hair on Sandy and Miss Hannigan stick out on end. And catch fire a little. Or rather, catch fire a little MORE in the case of Sandy. The blow is enough to throw off Rooster's counter strike, but Miss Hannigan, incensed perhaps at the damage done to her hair, gives Varakyn another ringing slap across the face. A matched set.

Her spell is no match for whatever foul sorcery has caused these bones to rise, however, and she lets out a "Oh, for gently caress's sake!" in frustration. Meanwhile, her flagging minion manages to grapple one of the frail orphan skeletons and uses its brittle form to deliver a piledriver into one of its companions, obliterating the opponent and nearly taking the collateral skeleton with it.

Wait, something is wrong.
Vara swings wide, then goes totally shithouse and flings a table into a pack of skeletons. There is a loud crunch as bones break and fly apart, scattering bones everywhere! They are already trying to crawl back together as the dwarven minion leaps in and KERSMASH, begins to lay about into the scattered remains. Sandy snaps at Varakyn, but both of them are on fire today. One metaphorically, and one in the most literal way possible. In fact, the flames are too much for Sandy as bones heated to well beyond the temper point shatter, and the dog disintigrates into a pile of ash and dust.

Ruling the Power Stunt is particularly effective since this is Vara's own heart. Skeletons are popped free and scattered, Save 11+ to recover enough to attack again and each of them loses a HP, making them a group of 6HP mooks

Alwilda

Though beaten about, Alwilda is tough, and doesn't show a lot of the hurt she's taking, the endurance of a walking mountain flowing through her.

Regeneration continues for turn 3 and heals 4 points of damage, and Alwilda makes her save, so Regeneration will continue on turn 4.

With a powerful clap of her hands, she knocks some skeletons around, making a big show with little fanfare as she calls out, "Come on, is that your worst? You came back from the dead and that's the best punches you have? No wonder you ended up dead in the first place!"

Really, just taking hurt that'd fall on others is a perfectly valid combat role some days!

Whoomph gets a 12, which misses again, no damage on miss.

Alwilda gets a little more stuck in than she likes! She is completely surrounded now, and there is no way to defend against an assault from all sides. Meanwhile, the bones, the bones of CHILDREN, begin to drag themselves back together. This is an ugly scene.

Sorraza

Sorraza crackles with draconic power, lightning sparking off her scales. She rises to her hind legs, wings spread wide, and glares down at the skeletal masses.

"I've got a bone to pick with you lot! Haha!"

Heroic one-liners are a necessity, according to her reading. She lowers her head and unleashes an immense lightning storm over them, exploding three of the skeletons outright. This is the power of a dragon's breath!

That horrible song is cut off in mid chorus as crackling energies wash over Alwilda, the skeletal waifs, and the cottage. The reek of fried bones hangs in the air and the whole scene seems to wobble and shift for a moment before snapping back into proper reality.

"YOUR FRIENDS ALL SUCK AT THIS," Miss Hannigan crows at Vara. "BUT NOT AS MUCH AS YOOOOOOU." It is unkind, and cuts deep. It was true, growing up, that sucking was nothing she ever wanted to do. Yet here they are now, sucking. The shame burns. She can feel her will ebb out from it, her old governess leveling the unkindest cut of all. It is not hardly worth mentioning that Rooster also whiffs. He whiffs big time. But no one gives him poo poo for sucking. No. All eyes are on Varakyn. On her, and her shaaaaame.

Round ends, Esc. Die goes to +3! Rooster rolls bad and whiffs, Miss H inflicts 6 on Vara with HARSH LANGUAGE.

Let's try this poo poo again.

Niamh has had quite enough of this poo poo - now a skeleton is yelling insults at her, by proxy? This is unacceptable. She clenches her hands into fists, squares her stance, and begins sucking the deathforce out of the pack of crummy orphan skeletons engaged with her minion. With ease, she twists the energy, redirecting it into the flagging Alwilda, who is revitalized. One by one, the orphans begin to crumble, until there is one remaining. She fixes her dread gaze on it, and the poor skeleton implodes on itself in a purplish 'vworp'.

A satisfied rictus crawls over Niamh's face, but she is not done. The skeletal dwarf, abruptly freed from the swirling melee of child-bones, barrels towards Miss Hannigan. With a power unheard-of for such stubby femurs, it leaps high off the cabin floor and sails through the air, delivering a double dose of tarsal terror to the once-cackling harridan. Her skull sails off, bouncing into a corner of the room as the dwarf gracefully lands atop her crumbling bones.

Varakyn spits in Miss Hannigan's eye. How she had longed to do that. "Maybe so, foul woman! But what about you? Your only legacy is this, being a minor irritation to the one call failure!"

She pushes the animated bones back into the path of Niamh's minion, then leaps over the resulting pile to drive her spear into the back of Rooster. "What ho, fool! Your better half is done for! And I can think of no worse insult, for that bag of bones to really have been the better!"

I use Divine Stamina and regain 14hp after I get damaged.
I went ahead and rolled for recovery now so I don't forget, and missed on it.

Wait, something is wrong.
In a flurry of activity, things are suddenly looking one whole hell of a lot better for Team Goodtimes. Bones crunch, and if Miss Hannigan has any retort at all it is lost in the splintering of her own jaw. Teeth scatter across the floor, and already as she hits the ground her dead bones look a thousand years beyond the grave. Rooster staggers from the last blow, then looks around. If a skeleton could look comically worried, he would be doing that right now.

Alwilda

Alwilda actually gets brought down to one knee, having a foot battered out from under her. As she's beaten, though, she takes the hits pretty well - enough to fell a less hearty warrior, squinting. The tension builds, though, as her anger rises with every strike.

Regeneration heals another 2 HP and stops there, but Channel Life will heal 9 HP, for a total of 11 HP healed this turn.

"Suck?", Alwilda hisses, and as she bursts to her feet, swinging out with both arms, her presence expands to catch the pair of skeletons still surrounding her, shattering them and blowing a hole in the ceiling dramatically. Looking over, she frowns to Rooster. "She just had to piss us off. Guess that means you're boned. Or. More boned."

Whoomph rolls a 28, which is a critical hit that does 28 points of damage against the remaining skeleton mooks!
