Re: An Abominable Antagonist
Phoenix, knocked to the ground, blind, and dizzy, doesn't do anything but lay there for a moment. After a few seconds, he climbs back to his feet, resetting for another go at the skeleton.
Well don't end too early, two more turns and I can Royal Command us a coup d'grace.

Re: An Abominable Antagonist
Due to being off-balance, Storm Blade wasn't able to protect his allies from the big wave of fire, which made him curse internally. However, he managed to recover not long afterwards and bunkered down, preparing for the next attack. At the same time, he marked Deadeye and Nurse Deadheart, knowing that he had to protect the two of them.

Re: An Abominable Antagonist
The Joy draws forth a rather large and clunky recoil-less rifle ,once again seemingly from thin air, quickly aims it and then fires an explosive shell straight into the skeleton's forehead. While the blast connects and it does do quite some damage most of the blast's power is spent in embedding the skeleton into one of the cavern's walls.
- Combat:
[-6] Bitches Love Cannons - Standard Attack [3/Battle]
Deal 6d12 damage to target creature, and that creature is blasted away from the battle, removing it from combat until the end of its next turn (a creature removed from combat cannot affect any other creature in the battle with combat talents or be affected by any combat talents - though it may still use [+] abilities to gain PiPs)
6D12 => [ 6 +5 +5 +1 +9 +3 ] = 29
6D12 => [ 5 +8 +11 +1 +3 +9 ] = 37 taking this one
1D12 => 2 d12=2 #rerolling inspiration on three keeping the three...
well that was a bit of a waste... but Bones is removed from combat until the end of its next turn...

The skeleton shatters, and the top hat floats down the ground. It sits for a moment, the orbs still forming a ring around it, before spitting out yet another orb. Unlike the others however, this newly produced orb hovers over the top of the hat. (9)

Re: An Abominable Antagonist
Zero One's clay body was clearly starting to majorly crack under this battle's hardships. But still the old golem still gives it his all in his next attack... And attacks with another blinding magical flash.

Re: An Abominable Antagonist
"I... don't think I can cure this" Sunny Zoo managed to say between violent coughs, after spending what concentration she could muster on looking at her and her companions' conditions. "Can't undo what harm's been done, but I can try to prevent further harm." Waving her banner, Sunny found that there were at least a few of her followers left, and with their help managed to set up a small temporary earthworks- which despite their best efforts only managed to shield the golem. With another wave of her banner she sent them away again.
She sat down and meditated for a moment- calming her breathing and willing herself from reacting to the ailment. And indeed she felt better- for now. If she came into contact with Bones's breath again, the symptoms would surely return.

Re: An Abominable Antagonist
The ring of purple light forms again and the skeleton slowly rises once more from beneath the hat, dirt crumbling off the old bones.
The wall of darkness seems closer, entire portions of the rail system now unable to be seen. A sudden awareness hits you of the overall silence of the room, the moaning of the ponies on the 'ride' and the screeching of the wheels on the tracks no longer heard at all.

Re: An Abominable Antagonist
Phoenix watches as the Skeleton shows up once again. "Will you just go ahead and be dead? This is going to end up taking all day, and some of us have things to do." With a half-hearted flick of the wrist, he sends another burst of flame at Bones, more in annoyance than as an actual attack.

The small burst of fire gently pushes around the orbs, which push back powerfully with a distinctly heard "fwoosh" of fire.

Re: An Abominable Antagonist
"Oh no you don't." Storm Blade growled, his shield glowing before the fire changed direction, as if attracted to his shield... which it was. The pegasus absorbed the marks he had put out in order to get a boost of energy, making the actions easier before the fire washed over him, making him hiss in pain as the fire washed over him. Through fourtantly, due to his strong defenses, he didn't take that much damage.
"It seems that he's reflecting attacks now. Don't bother with any small attacks, we need to finish him off in one big attack if possible." Storm Blade said, hoping that he would be listened to as he kept his defences up and marked the nurse and the criminal as he always did.

Re: An Abominable Antagonist
Zero One grins and wordlessly fires off another super-lazer using the energy gifted to him. But it seems the damage he had been taken from this battle was starting to affect his power... Or that'd be the best guess to why this attack seemed to be weaker then all the others had been.
- combat attack.:
- [-7] Super-Laser Magic (Snicker-Snak!) - Standard Attack
When you use this talent, choose one;
A) Deal 8d20 damage to target creature. If you roll a 20, you may activate all three of your special moves at once.
B) Deal 4d20 damage to target creature and all creatures adjacent to it. If you roll a 20, you may activate all three of your special moves at once.
8D20+3 => [ 1 +4 +16 +18 +15 +1 +15 +2 ] +3 = 75 damage...
Re: An Abominable Antagonist
PCHOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooo
The beam of light hits the skeleton, though it strangely doesn't make much sound. The skeleton is not disintegrated this time, instead arching back as the beam pours into it. After the cascade of energy ends, it holds the position for a moment, before bursting into a blue flame which seems to come from within the bone creature. It gazes at the group with an intensity that can be felt.
(Everyone suffers Vuln 2 until the end of Mr Bones' next turn.)
The wall of darkness is directly behind the skeleton now. The tracks are completely hidden from view, and if you look down you notice your shadows are stretched towards the skeleton, as though there was a light behind you.
Well, technically he did die. Go ahead and do your other standard action, Zamuel.

Re: An Abominable Antagonist
The skeleton's flame wavers for a moment, before it launches out a tidal wave of fire which painfully burns the party as it engulfs them.
Waiting to see what the interrupts / reactions are before continuing his turn.
- If Storm doesn't intercept:
- ((20 damage before modifiers))
((Storm Blade reduced to 2))
((The Joy reduced to -5, unconscious))
((Zero One reduced to -4, unconscious))
((Sunny Zoo reduced to 13))
((Dead Eye reduced to 7))
((Nurse Deadheart reduced to 4, raised to 4/6))
((Phoenix reduced to -5, unconscious))
- If Storm intercepts:
- ((20 damage before modifiers))
20 + (1.25 * 20) = 55
55 / 2 = 27.5, rounded to 28
28 - 3 = 25
25 + 2 = 27
((Storm is reduced to -16, comatose))

Re: An Abominable Antagonist
Storm Blade saw the intensity of the flames, and knew that if he took them on, he would be taken out of the battle. However, the skeleton was extremely weak, everyone could see that. He probably wouldn't be able to take much more punishment, if any. That, and as the protector of the team, defending the other's was his sworn duty.
"This is far as I go." Storm said calmly, even as his shield began to focus the flames torwards him. "I'll survive, but I'll be out of the battle. Don't waste what I'm giving you and finish this bastard off!" With that said, the flames washed over Storm, badly burning him as the pain made him black out. His shield vanishing as he collapsed to the ground.

Re: An Abominable Antagonist
The ground grumbles and sharply bulges around The Joy, off-setting her footing as well as those near her. Small pyres of flame erupt from the cracked rock, igniting the fallen soldier's mane.
((Storm Blade dazed/weakened until end of Mr Bones' next turn.))
((Storm Blade suffers Ongoing 3 until he has more than 0 health.))
((The Joy dazed/weakened until end of Mr Bones' next turn.))
((Zero One dazed/weakened until end of Mr Bones' next turn.))
The wall of darkness doesn't move. It appears it's holding its position until the skeleton beckons.

Re: An Abominable Antagonist
Phoenix watches the Pony with the shield succumb to the fire and drop. He sighs. "OK, this has officially gone on long ENOUGH!" A tremendous inferno springs to life, spiraling around Phoenix in a fiery vortex. Along with the fire comes a brilliant golden light that washes over the team, and pushes out against the wave of darkness. "With a wave of his hand, each team member feels themselves filled with a feeling of power and initiative. With a Demonic smirk, Phoenix glares at the monster, and utters a simple command. "Ready, go." He Lets the last bit of his power fuel the fire into one more flare, launching it at the skeleton, as the rest of the team steps up as well.
- Spoiler:
- [-10] Voice of the Ascended Fifth (Royal Command) - Standard Utility
You and up to four allies can take a Standard Action. If that action deals damage, it deals 1d8 additional damage.
I believe there are only 4 others standing, so all of them get to do something.
Extra Standard:
[+2] Pyro Combatives (Arcing Bolt) - Standard Attack
Deal 1d6 damage to up to three target creatures.
Roll: 1d6+1d8= 4+7= 11 damage to Bones and the Darkness.

[+1] Ignite (Redirect Focus) - Minor Utility
You are dazed until the end of your next turn.
