[Esther]

(Zamn)
After rushing into Malis, Target is bounced back.
It takes a spindash backwards, to process what to do next.
Starfall seems rather bothered. "You think this isn't something?"
She takes out her whip, and whips Malis with certain punishment intent. [Penalty: -0.5 Armor PEN]
Xueqing takes out her umbrella, and dashes forward to bonk Malis before kicking him.
[Both has penalty of -2.5 stargazer and -0.5 armor PEN, -3 in total] "That was fast."
(Stargazer: 6)
(Tp: 6.4 +3.4+3.4=13.2)
Bright snaps back to reality and shoots at Malis with his Eventide. [Penalty: -1.5 Stargazer from Xueqing, and the rest is needed to calculate on your own]
(Sorry about having 3 characters attacking at the same time)

(D10: 2 - 0.5 = 1.5)
Malis takes a noticeable hit from the whip, but retaliates with three void bolts all aimed at Starfall. (These, due to Pen having put a power lock on Malis in this RP, can deal a maximum of 2 points of damage in your soul system)
(D10: 5 - 3 = 2, 9 - 3 = 6)
The bonk briefly stuns him, but he blocks the kick with a crystal, which launches dark energy at Xueqing.
(D10: 4 - 2.5 total = 1.5)
And the arrows pierce through the armor and hit Malis. He seems pained from the hit, and summons two orbs that both fire a laser at Bright.

(D10:

lmaoooooo)
(Perfect start for Shadowstrike)
Getting frustrated at her attacks failing, Dusk throws a knife at a downward angle. It phases through Malis... and hits his shadow directly in the center.
Malis nearly collapses from the pain this causes.
<GAH- What the hell was that?!>

*Tethin enters the clearing where Malis is attacking Esther. He reaches over his shoulder and equips Sunburst, aiming and firing at Malis where he stands. (4, 19, 10)*

(I don't use offense, sorry)
(D10: 3, 1, 6)
The first shot slightly dents the armor, the second almost pierces through and hits his leg (causing him to collapse from the combination of accidentally perfect Shadowstrike hit and this), but the third misses as a result of him collapsing.
He summons a barrier around himself, then summons an orb and teleports it behind Esther before it fires a laser at her. He also summons another orb to fire a shockwave at Tethin.
(D10: 2 - 2 from Starlight Form's reduced defense = 0)
(It was going to happen eventually.)
The laser hits Esther in the back, being too fast for her to sense it in time, let alone turn around to block it. She yelps in pain... at least she's still standing.
<WHY DOES STARLIGHT FORM REDUCE MY DEFENSE AGAIN?!>
<_Esther, calm down._>
<_It's hard to stay calm when I just took a direct hit from a void laser while in Starlight Form! That hurt like hell!_>

*(16) Tethin rolls with the shockwave, not getting harmed. He runs over to Esther.*

<_It's hard to stay calm when I just took a direct hit from a void laser while in Starlight Form! That hurt like hell!_>

*Upon seeing Esther getting attacked by Malis' laser, he stands in between her and Malis, ready to take whatever punishment he can dish out. He turns and speaks over his shoulder to Esther.*
"I'm with ya my friend, it looks like you can use a few extra hands."
*He turns and fires at Malis again, cycling the lever and letting the red blast bolt rocket toward Malis.*

(What does it menan that you don't roll for offence? Do I just say how many times Tethin shoots and you roll for defence like I did with Tethin and the shockwave?)

 

[Esther]

(Ye)

"Thanks..."
Esther starts setting up a new barrage of stars, hiding each star behind her shield.
(D10: 7)
The barrier blocks the red blast.

 

[Lin Xueqing]

(D10: 2 - 0.5 = 1.5)
Malis takes a noticeable hit from the whip, but retaliates with three void bolts all aimed at Starfall. (These, due to Pen having put a power lock on Malis in this RP, can deal a maximum of 2 points of damage in your soul system)

And the arrows pierce through the armor and hit Malis. He seems pained from the hit, and summons two orbs that both fire a laser at Bright.

[17, 9]
Starfall has dodged the first bolt, but the second hit her, and it's causing her a chest pain.
"Ack- ow..."
(SL 9/10)

"Starfall!!"
[20+5 wow] Xueqing manages to reflect the energy back with some special attributes of her umbrella [Penalty: what about his own taste], and runs to check out Starfall.
(Tp 13.2+4=17.2)
"I'm fine... not a big deal." Starfall gives a thumb up, then whips Malis again. [Penalty: -0.5]
Xueqing nods. She is too distracted to attack.
(Stargazer: 5)

[10, 15] Bright barely misses the first, and swiftly gets to the right, avoiding the second.
(Tp 17.2+2.5=19.7)
Then, he shoots at Malis again, two at once. [Penalty: -1.5 and various]

(D10: 7 - 1 for not anticipating the reflect = 6)
The barrier takes moderate damage from the energy.

Starfall gives a thumb up, then whips Malis again. [Penalty: -0.5]

(6 - 0.5 = 5.5)
The barrier nearly shatters from this. Malis seems to be getting ready for when it does.

[10, 15] Bright barely misses the first, and swiftly gets to the right, avoiding the second.
(Tp 17.2+2.5=19.7)
Then, he shoots at Malis again, two at once. [Penalty: -1.5 and various]

(3 - 2.5 = 0.5, 1 - 2.5 = -1.5)
And the first arrow set is enough to shatter the barrier, with the second piercing straight through Malis' armor, dealing a lot of damage.
"..."
<I'll have to retreat soon... I'm risking my life at this rate.>
He starts to prepare an attack...
(Battle will end soon with one final attack from Malis coming up. He's taken a lot of damage after all.)

(Prepare for my sickass 19.7)
(Wait, I'm missing some TP.)
(Xueqing's reflect: 12, 2.4)
(Bright's attack: 15, 3; 15, 3)
(Bright's attack: 15, 3)
(Tp: 19.7 +9+2.4=31.1)
(Right enough!)
Xueqing also charges something.
(Tp: 31.1-31.1=0)
She dashes forward, and attempts to pierce Malis with a strong blow. She doesn't lose her guard on upcoming attack, though.
[Penalty: -2.5 -0.5 -1 Tension attack -1.25 Assistance ]
Target also hops in with tremendous speed [Spd. 16x3=48], hitting Xueqing and giving her a painful boost. This sure enhances her performance, though.

 

[Esther]

[Penalty: -2.5 -0.5 -1 Tension attack -1.25 Assistance ]

(D10: 7 - 5.25 = 1.75)
(I could have just as easily auto-failed that roll, even a nat 10 would have dropped below 5 from that)
The attack does in fact pierce Malis as he gets up... but it also puts her in range for a point-blank dark energy blast. Despite this, he seems very exhausted.
"Stay back."
(Final attack will be next turn.)

(Now imagine Xueqing's 150%TP Supernova giving her a +12 boost)
Xueqing quickly retreats, while...
Wait...
Target outright grabs her and holds her up by her bottom (what the hell Target?) and runs back, dragging Bright away in the process. [Spd. 7x3=21]

*Tethin keeps himself in front of Esther, ready to protect her from whatever comes.*

 

[Lin Xueqing]

(That would make me just auto-fail because I don't need to get -11'd this year)

(Wait my calculation is wrong, it's even worse)
(All I'm talking about here is D20 now and you can subtract by 2 to fit in your D10)
(Xueqing's Supernova initially gives her +10 boost for one attack, meaning that it BOOMS.)
(She gets a +2 from Stargazer at this point)
(Assuming she has full health of 2560, she needs to sacrifice half her HP for that, and because of 1 boost per 300 Hp it sums up to +16)
(If she has slept with Bright beforehand and has 3840HP, the boost actually rise to +18)
(bam, -9 for you)
(Yeah pretty much an autofail)

Bright realizes that things seems wrong, so he stays back until he's next to Xueqing (who Target just put down), and gets in a defensive stance.

 

[Esther]

Malis summons 7 orbs, which launch a fast laser at each active participant (Esther, Dusk, Tethin, Bright, Starfall, Target and Xueqing). He then tries to blast Esther and Dusk by teleporting behind them and casting an energy blast, before teleporting back, creating a curved blade made out of dark energy, and throwing it at Tethin.
He stands there for a while to catch his breath... then disappears. And doesn't reappear.
(D10: 5 for laser, 2 - 2 = 0 for energy blast)
Esther blocks the laser with her shield, if barely, but doesn't turn around in time for the energy blast, getting sent flying before she blasts herself into the ground with her wind magic (Slowing her fall before impact to avoid hurting herself). She seems weakened.
(2 (Laser), 6 (Energy blast))
Dusk gets hit by the laser due to its speed, but rolls out of the way of the energy blast. She's exhausted, but not too badly hurt.
(Battle over... for now at least. Sorry for anyone who wanted to participate more, and to everyone that was going to participate but couldn't due to timezones. I just don't want to drag this out when Malis is in fact pretty badly injured from getting teamed on like that. There will be future battles against him where the people this applies to should be able to participate, and to help with that I might un-archive my health system for one of those battles.)

[7+5, 12+5] Xueqing makes use of her umbrella as a shield! Blocking both the lazers fired at them.
"Thanks!" (@Clockwork17)
(Tp: 0 +1 +3.5 =4.5)
[1] Target is flung into wilderness.
[10] The attack barely misses Starfall. She seems a bit scared by that.

 

[Esther]

[1] Target is flung into wilderness.

(Yeet the child)
(Yes Target would technically count as a child to me)

 

[Lin Xueqing]

(He is a 4 days old)

(Yep, child)

(Yep, child)

(more like... BABY)

 

[Esther]

(more like... BABY)

(Roxas is only a few months old and Dusk's official age is also like a week total at the moment)
(We got some unreasonably young characters in this RP)
(And then there's Navy at hundreds of years with no known exact age)
(Like we have several less than a year old and then the guy that's older than some Dryads in Floralis)

(Yup)
Right after, Xueqing notices Esther is in a bad shape.
"You okay?!"
And then both of the kids run to check Esther real quick.
(My control over Bright officially ends here.)
"Need help?-"

"I'll recover..."
Dusk walks over.
"You sure about that? You got hit by probably a few void spells during that."
"They dealt less damage than I thought... I'll be fine."
