[Asternove]

(Oh ho ho, yess, we could start a rebellion...)

*Helviak stands up and nods respectfully. He offers her a handkerchief.*
"You made the right choice."
*His voice makes it seem like he understands.*

(She uses it to wipe the tears off her emerald green eyes instead of the back of her hand.) “I hope so.”

(She goes silent for a moment before looking him in the eyes with a warm smile. Her teeth are pretty white, though ever so slightly crooked; could probably use braces for a year.) “…thank you.”

"What are friends for, eh? Still... how'd you end up in that shack?"

(Flora looks to the side at nothing in particular.) “I dunno. The teleporter made me drowsy so I was asleep for it all…”

(She hands the handkerchief back to him without saying anything.)

(She goes silent for a moment before looking him in the eyes with a warm smile. Her teeth are pretty white, though ever so slightly crooked; could probably use braces for a year.) “…thank you.”

*He smiles back, though he keeps his jaw mostly closed as he still wouldn't like to make her feel unfortunately by showing her his teeth. The pearly whites that are visible by their base are circular and curved though.* "You're welcome."

(Flora looks to the side at nothing in particular.) “I dunno. The teleporter made me drowsy so I was asleep for it all…”

"Strange how you woke up in a bloodstained cell, gagged, and with no memory of how you got there apart from getting teleported in."
*He lets the silence stretch for a bit, also reconsidering his choice of words.*
"I'm still mighty curious about the 'how' of your situation, but if you'd rather not answer then tell me no and I won't bring it up again."

(She hands the handkerchief back to him without saying anything.)

"Keep it, I've got another."
*He tugs at the bandana tied around his neck.*

(Flora shrugs, hands flat. She slightly tilts her head to the side, shutting her eyes for a moment.)

"I'm still mighty curious about the 'how' of your situation, but if you'd rather not answer then tell me no and I won't bring it up again."

(She twirls her right index finger in her richly colored brown hair.) "I really don't know anything else..."

"Keep it, I've got another."
*He tugs at the bandana tied around his neck.*

(The girl ponders it, clearly hesitant to keep it. Her face showing mild discomfort, she copies him and ties it loosely around her neck.)

(Flora shrugs, hands flat. She slightly tilts her head to the side, shutting her eyes for a moment.)
(She twirls her right index finger in her richly colored brown hair.) "I really don't know anything else..."

*Helviak looks on with a growing look of empathy and concern.*
"Well, let's just thank God that whoever out you there isn't here anymore, and that we're capable of defending you should they turn up again."

(The girl ponders it, clearly hesitant to keep it. Her face showing mild discomfort, she copies him and ties it loosely around her neck.)

*He is confused about why she is hesitant to keep a square of cloth. Though, he beams as she copied him and makes her own bandana.* "You don't have to keep it, it's just some clean cloth. Still, might come in handy sometime."

*He looks around.*
"I heard some gunfire up North East earlier. We could go investigate, or we could explore elsewhere. That skeleton and the kid from earlier might still hold some intridt for us, though. All depends on what we're feeling like. I'm keen to go exploring for now, unless you have anywhere to be going?"

*Helviak looks on with a growing look of empathy and concern.*
"Well, let's just thank God that whoever out you there isn't here anymore, and that we're capable of defending you should they turn up again."

(She winks.) '"Toothy would like a word with them!"

*He is confused about why she is hesitant to keep a square of cloth. Though, he beams as she copied him and makes her own bandana.* "You don't have to keep it, it's just some clean cloth. Still, might come in handy sometime."

(She forces a smile, it looking rather ugly compared to the one she just gave. The girl speaks with the smile still there, her words let out into the air through gritted teeth,) "Nonono, it's lovely..."

*He looks around.*
"I heard some gunfire up North East earlier. We could go investigate, or we could explore elsewhere. That skeleton and the kid from earlier might still hold some intridt for us, though. All depends on what we're feeling like.

(Flora turns her head back to where they came from.) "I'd rather not deal with them. They seemed... a bit much." (She gives a light chuckle, her voice slightly deep for a girl her age.)

I'm keen to go exploring for now, unless you have anywhere to be going?"

"I'm a just a wanderer now I guess, so I don't see a reason not to. Lead the way."

 

[Cream Starlight]

Some sort of explosion came from where Sans and the boy were battling.

 

[Creeper326]

(She winks.) '"Toothy would like a word with them!"

*He grins and winks back.* "So would my flail."

(She forces a smile, it looking rather ugly compared to the one she just gave. The girl speaks with the smile still there, her words let out into the air through gritted teeth,) "Nonono, it's lovely..."

*Helviak is increasingly confused with her discomfort with the prospect of the handkerchief.* "... Alright. Glad you like it. If uh, if you have any problems with it, you can tell me. I can't do much if I don't know much."

(Flora turns her head back to where they came from.) "I'd rather not deal with them. They seemed... a bit much." (She gives a light chuckle, her voice slightly deep for a girl her age.)

"True, seemed like a heck of a handful. Would still like to see if someone might need some help, though."

"I'm a just a wanderer now I guess, so I don't see a reason not to. Lead the way."

*He nods and leads the way through the birch forest, heading North.*

Some sort of explosion came from where Sans and the boy were battling.

"Don't know how good a close quarter combat weapon would fair against grenades. Best not to test."

 

[Asternove]

{Notifs...}
{Just ping me if this happens again}

*He grins and winks back.* "So would my flail."

(She grins back.) "I like your style."

*Helviak is increasingly confused with her discomfort with the prospect of the handkerchief.* "... Alright. Glad you like it. If uh, if you have any problems with it, you can tell me. I can't do much if I don't know much."

(She just shakes her head, her ponytail flying back and forth.)

"True, seemed like a heck of a handful. Would still like to see if someone might need some help, though."

*He nods and leads the way through the birch forest, heading North.*

(Flora looks at a particular tree, a black spot surrounded by an oval-shaped, grey outline.) "Uh, why is the tree looking at me?"
{Yes, birch trees sometimes have eye-looking patterns. It's natural.}

"Don't know how good a close quarter combat weapon would fair against grenades. Best not to test."

(She seems a bit shocked, flinching a little.) "Wasn't planning on it."

 

[Xal.]

Receiving this piece of information, the girl immediately shifted her attention to the giant's neck.
Flying around for a bit, she found the spot, and her hammer shifted into a scythe.
With one dash, she zoomed towards the weak point, aiming for a good slash.
[17, +1 acc, +8 dmg]

(7, 17 x 2 = 34 ---- 687 - 34 = 653) The scythe catches amidst the tendons, splattering the viscous goop throughout the air as it finally cleaves through.

The golem staggers to the side, lone eye flickering a bit as it emits yet another low, droning groan.

Song jumps back to dodge the fist slam (D20: 13) before attempting to mount the arm, attempting to climb up the golem (D20: 8).

(18) Successful at first, she's soon dislodged as the behemoth nearly falls over from the blow to its neck. At least her landing is relatively soft and quick.

Arentine primes and looses another arrow towards the eye. (20)

(4, 20 ---- 653 - 20 = 633) This one finally sticks squarely into the eye, a loud, glassy crack resonating throughout the air as the giant makes something akin to a low scream, falling to a knee as it begins to reach towards its head, violently plucking the arrow out. The wound upon its neck already seems to be mending.. smaller stones throughout the body beginning to fall off, the golem beginning to look almost.. emaciated?

(She grins back.) "I like your style."

*He closes his eyes and gives a little bow.*
"Glad you approve."

(She just shakes her head, her ponytail flying back and forth.)

"Alright. Just know that I'll support you in whatever. If there's something bothering you, I'll help you sort through it."

(Flora looks at a particular tree, a black spot surrounded by an oval-shaped, grey outline.) "Uh, why is the tree looking at me?"
{Yes, birch trees sometimes have eye-looking patterns. It's natural.}

*Helviak walks over to the tree, not familiar with birch. He runs his palm over the bark.*
"Though plants are alive, they don't see or hear things. This bark seems to be patterned in this way, uncomfortably so."

(She seems a bit shocked, flinching a little.) "Wasn't planning on it."

"Yeah... Best to get out of here."
*He walks back to her side, stopping some three steps away to keep distance.*
"Where to? You're actually from this world, so you've got more sense of direction than I. Wherever you wish to go, I'll get you there."

(Flora fidgets, shifting her weight from one leather boot-wearing foot to another.)

*Helviak walks over to the tree, not familiar with birch. He runs his palm over the bark.*
"Though plants are alive, they don't see or hear things. This bark seems to be patterned in this way, uncomfortably so."

(She doesn't seem scared at all.) "I wouldn't mind if plants could see. Could probably use them as reconnaissance."

"Yeah... Best to get out of here."
*He walks back to her side, stopping some three steps away to keep distance.*
"Where to? You're actually from this world, so you've got more sense of direction than I. Wherever you wish to go, I'll get you there."

"I'm, uh, not actually."

 

[Vella]

Odenther seems to be screaming over radio at the delays.
"Where the hell is our evac here!? Support?"
<... man, think we saw a skeleton and human.>
"Grrrnf... that's not the right AREA!"

(Think it's 4 turns left until evac arrives.)

Ossea sighs and grabs the knife tightly. Seems like she has been motivated to strike at the golem's leg, in spite of her injuries that could hamper her dodging ability.
And she gives the statue a hefty stab (ACC (d20): 17 (-1 still injured, +1 mastery = no change), DMG (d20): 16 (+8 weapon-specific damage bonus, -1 injured = 23))
Much to Odeanther's concern as he wants everyone in this area to survive.
"Miss? You're still injured-"
"I'll manage. The 'evac' could use safe place."
"...fair, but one more time you get hurt and I'm forcing you off combat."

 

[Cream Starlight]

(We back in action)

An explosion occurred again where the skeleton and the boy was at, then a small jingle. ... Now it feels safe to check that area.

Xueqing was still floating midair, gazing down. "Well, will you not mess with us?"

Judgy was decorating the house...

(23 / 2 = 11.5 -> 12 ---- 633 - 12 - 621) The knife blow makes up for not striking at a weak point with sheer ferocity, it cleaves deep enough to draw darkened sludge from amidst the stony hide of the behemoth.

Xueqing was still floating midair, gazing down. "Well, will you not mess with us?"

Remaining hunched for a moment, the stony construct raises its head to meet Xueqing with its gaze, ichor-gold mixed with darkened sludge quietly dribbling down from its visage. It looses two pulses of violent yellow currents at her from its lone eye. (7, 14)

Arentine begins to put his bow away, rolling his shoulders a bit with a quiet grunt. Seems he's recovered further still.

 

[Vella]

Ossea gasps, as if trying to non-verbally warn Xueqing about the giant, looking for further weak points. (Observation: 11)
/Watch out!/

 

[Cream Starlight]

"Oh-"
[4+2, 2+2]
She almost dodged the first bolt, the flowing current burning her clothing a little.
The second came, striking her right in the chest, pushing her back a lot and making her feel a bit hurt.

[1101/1200]

Realizing that talking likely brings more trouble, she then moved above the statue's head, practicing a downwards smash with the scythe.
[11, +1 accuracy, +8 damage (or -2 counting 10 defense or uh...)]

/Watch out!/

(11) As it begins to rise from its sunken stance, it's just slightly too difficult to get a read on its body and any weak points spread across it.

Realizing that talking likely brings more trouble, she then moved above the statue's head, practicing a downwards smash with the scythe.
[11, +1 accuracy, +8 damage (or -2 counting 10 defense or uh...)]

(19 - 10 = 9 ---- 621 - 9 = 612) The scythe deals a moderate scrape as the golem begins to stagger back to its feet, bringing up both hands in a rapid clap, trying to sandwich Xueqing between its hands. (13)

 

[Vella]

Ossea is getting nervous about this situation, voicing her concern in a silent shriek, as if trying to warn her again. She is still looking for weak point to strike, near the ground, perhaps a cracked stone [obs: 19]

Odeanther is doing the same thing, while awaiting the rescue - observing the golem's body for weak points to vandalize with his rocks and if the evac comes in armored, so it could mess that up. [obs: 16]

 

[Banana_=P]

(7, 17 x 2 = 34 ---- 687 - 34 = 653) The scythe catches amidst the tendons, splattering the viscous goop throughout the air as it finally cleaves through.

The golem staggers to the side, lone eye flickering a bit as it emits yet another low, droning groan.


(18) Successful at first, she's soon dislodged as the behemoth nearly falls over from the blow to its neck. At least her landing is relatively soft and quick.

Song lands on her back in a roll, getting back on her feet in one swift motion.

Arentine primes and looses another arrow towards the eye. (20)

(4, 20 ---- 653 - 20 = 633) This one finally sticks squarely into the eye, a loud, glassy crack resonating throughout the air as the giant makes something akin to a low scream, falling to a knee as it begins to reach towards its head, violently plucking the arrow out. The wound upon its neck already seems to be mending.. smaller stones throughout the body beginning to fall off, the golem beginning to look almost.. emaciated?

Song...seems uncertain as to what move to make next, instead trying to focus on the golem again and try to identify more weak points to exploit...
(D20: 1).

She seems rather distracted though, but decides instead to strafe the golem again to try and get a good look at its back.

 

[Creeper326]

(Flora fidgets, shifting her weight from one leather boot-wearing foot to another.)

(She doesn't seem scared at all.) "I wouldn't mind if plants could see. Could probably use them as reconnaissance."

"Considering present company, that would be plenty useful, on consideration."

"I'm, uh, not actually."

*He stares at her, processing this new fact.*
"Well then, I suppose this world's ours to explore then. We go north."
*He turns around and starts walking directly left of where the sun currently is.*

(Sorry for taking literal weeks, it's been pretty busy by me.)
