Unguarded Guardians (IC) Part 2

"You two can have a good flirt later, right now we have things to maim and kill!"
Yukari said as she began to walk around, she certainly seemed different from Nyx... who wasn't very outgoing

[daxtinator396]

"Yes Sir. When we scouted out the remple with my magic I found out where it is and I felt it when we tunneled our way in here... It`s evil we need to kill it now!" Dax says firmly clutching his shield tightly.

[napsii]

Kaz grinned, rolling her eyes.

"I ain't goofin'! When am I even goofin'? NEVER." she toyed, springing forward into a handstand to land up at Sort's side. She was rather pleased that the group had elected to destroy the staff.

She looked up to the air and waved vigorously to what seemed to be nothing.

"BYE SOULS! HAVE A GOOD TRIP!" she called, and then turned back to the group just quick enough to hear Mex's mention of...wut?

"Well tanks a lot. I like you too!" she gave a thumbs up to Mex, thinking little of whatever she'd experienced upon touching the staff.

"Now let's goooo. I need my clothes 'n crap back." she insisted.

[Sortaix]

Them there peoples*

Sort clutched onto Mex as she grabbed at him, wrapping his arms around her back, as he held her to his chest. He then gave Yukari an angry glare, as Mex regained her strength.
"If I was flirting with her my hands would be on her chest, or her ass, not her back Nyx. You never know what necro weapons like tthat can do till you pick one up. I learned that the hard way. So, shut the hell up, Nyx. Alright Dax, you lead the way to this plant whatever. I bet if that's what these goblins are worshiping, killing it will make them disband. We also found several captive women in a camp near here, we'll go pick them up when this is over. I had them barricade themselves in the goblin fort till we go get them. And Kaz, if you put your clothes on you'll spoils Dax's fun."
Sort gives a little giggle at his last comment to Kaz.

[daxtinator396]

Dax steps over to Sort and says,"That isn't Nyx. That's Yukari. We'll just have to deal with it. Victor and I can explain another time what's going on with that but right now there's nothing we can do about it so let's just go." He was still blushing at Sort's last comment about Kaz when he said to Kaz,"Miss Kaz I think you look wonderful just the way you are..." He says his blush deepening as he began to walk through the room with her towards the way Sort's group entered, that being the way to go.

[Icaelus]

Mex groaned. Why the hell had she even touched the damn crystal? Didn't she go for that class on Magical Weapons Safety 101? Oh. Right. She didn't.
"Think I'm learning it the hard way now.."
She shook her head again, finally managing to shake off the dizziness. Her hands let go of Sort's shirt and she gave him a rather apologetic glance.
"Uh, sorry..so..let's go kill that rapeweed now?"
Her apology was hastily uttered, as if she wanted to forget the whole thing already.
Boss, I am hurt. Ain't I good enough for you?
Ravenous hummed up for once in a long time, his tone sounding hurt, surprisingly.
"Can you summon a thunderbolt and stuff..?"
Mex muttered under her breath, going back to her usual habit of twirling Raven.

[napsii]

Kaz rolled her eyes playfully.

"Well tanks! I like the lot of ya too! But I can't be in my bikini forevs, ya know? GOTTA PUT ME SO CLOOOOOTHES ON." she said proudly, then paused at Mex's words.

"GROSS. Let's kill that weed thing too! I hate weed! I mean uh...weeds...!" she corrected herself rather quickly. Aww, now wasn't it nice to be reunited with everyone! Sort and Mex, and...uh, Dax. And all the rest. Fun!

And they got to KILL PLANTS.

"LET'S BRUSH OFF!" she declared, and then zoomed for the nearest exit.

[Sortaix]

Sort and Pals

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Sort grumbled a bit at hearing the news of Nyx, or Yukari, or whatever. He then turned to follow Dax after the giant monster plant.
"Alright, we'll follow you Dax, then afterwards you and Vic can tell em about Nyx's either split personality, or possessive, otherworldly entity. Good to go everybody?"
Sort asks the group as he heads out to follow Dax.

(The plant is in the opposite direction, there is a doorway behind the platform the priest was on. It is comprised of two large wooden doors, which lead into a small holding cell where they prepare the plants victims. This in turn, leads to a large tunnel that leads to the giant plants room.)

[daxtinator396]

Dax puts a hand to the floor doing the same trick as before when he entered the place and discovered a large tunnel behind some doors behind the preists platform,"This way guys its back here and normally it would be ladies first but today the men get a chance. If I was a rapeweed I wouldn't be able to keep my tentacles to myself around you guys and somehow I think he's even worse." Dax says with a small grin as he walks back behind the platform and pushes open the door there.

[Sortaix]

The Group

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Sort moves behind Dax, his weapon ready for whatever is coming. He steps back a bit so he can look into the door as it opens ready to fire at any movement, but fortunately nothing happens. Dax opens the door to reveal an empty room, what looks like a small prison room, and a tunnel leading in one direction.

[Icaelus]

Mex kept her pace just behind Sort and Dax, both hands tightly clutched on Ravenous. Going straight into battle without warning was fine, but the prospect of such an enemy was a bit daunting..knowing that they could be marching right into death.. She shook her head. Damn, she was really getting soft.
"Dax. How much further? I want to BBQ this weed to a nice pile of ashes already."

[daxtinator396]

"I want to kill it too. It should be at the end of this tunnel." Dax says nervously as he moves forward more quickly anxious to get into battle and destroy this overgrown plant of evil. The root of all evil he had begun calling it in his head to help relieve the tension and nervousness with little success.

[Sortaix]

Oh Noes! (x2)

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Dax quickly found that the tunnel was about three meters long. The end opened up into a very large cavern, with what appeared to be a plain glass ceiling allowing a vast amount of sunlight to come down and hit the giant plant. A giant flower looking plant , the size of a tall, three story barn. It had several large roots digging into the ground as well as several tentacle-like branches coming off its massive, black body. At the top was a large purple blossom, with a pink center around where the pistil and the stamen were. The plant lowered its blossom, almost as if it was looking at the doorway and did something the group did not expect...it spoke.
"Gormack, what is it now? I thought my instructions were clear, don't bother me while I am sunning myself! I can hear you in the tunnel, now get out here and tell me why your disturbing me!"

[daxtinator396]

Dax steps forward into the tunnel and then out out of out just as quickly stepping into the light of the room,"Gormack is dead. I am Dax Sierra and this,"He holds up his shield,"Is the Innocent`s Rampart. Now prepare to be mulched you ugly weed." He says coldly looking up at the gaint beast with shield raised looking like some kind of cat knight preparing to fight a dragon.

[Angel_Slayer_Alcatraz]

Has her blade drawn and is advancing as well

[napsii]

Kaz blinked, dumbfounded, as they came upon the giant plant. Wow! She hadn't expected something so...well, literal. Gobs were usually so dumb they'd mistake a giant rock with drawings on it for a plant.

But this was certainly a plant! And a cool one at that! Err...more or less because of its unique appearance and mass, of course. It was still an ugly ass rapist.

Waaait, wut was she saying. It was ugly as ass all around! It talked too...so that was kinda cool, but also really creepy. She giggled a bit when Dax delivered his cheesy threat, flexing on the balls of her feet with Tide resting on a shoulder. Dax couldn't even get mad without looking somewhat cute.

"So yer like, the goblins' mom or something?" she blinked.

[Zender_Solarheart]

The hell? A talking plant? Victor ponders, trying to mentally digest the scenario. However, it seems Dax has started the fight for him, so...

"And I am Victor. Victor Stein, the Sword that Cleaves Thunder!!" Victor thrusts Mjolnir skyward, letting out a pulse of energy to create a thunder-clap noise. "You are naught but a weed that leeches upon the innocent! It's high time you were uprooted, foul abomination!!" With his introductory speech out of the way, he takes initiative, darting ahead of the others, and firing a few Shippu Taiho blasts up towards the flower's blossom. However, those are merely "warning shots" meant to draw its attention, as his electrical magic is probably not going to be that effective against a ground-based enemy like this plant. Between Mex's flame magic, Sort's anti-necro light magic, and what everyone else can do, he's probably better off playing support for this one...

[Sortaix]

All hands on deck! I said DECK, not your....nevermind.

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Sort responded to the giant plant, and Dax's cliche paladin speech, by shooting a light arrow at the base of the plant. Which, it did not like very much.(-40 stamina)(-40 health) The arrow, coupled with Victors' attacks, now had the plant thoroughly annoyed. It responded with firing back several balls of black energy at the group of adventurers. It also pulled up several of its' tentacle roots and prepared them for combat.
"Come on and do your worst, assholes. Just please spare me the botched grammar and crappy pronunciation, so typical of you stupid ass, muscled bound, paladin types!"

[daxtinator396]

Dax grins,"Mex give me us some light! I'm putting this plant back in his hole!" He says and closes off the top of the chamber breaking the window at the top and raining glass down upon the creature as he looks to Victor,"Victor! Use some wind sickles and trim down this plant! Take out the tentacles and cut down his defenses!" He shouts starting to direct the battle. He had a plan and he hoped like hell it worked,"Mex, Sort! Aim for the blossom burn it like only a pyro can!" He said and then looks at Kaz,"You get to help me take out the roots. If we keep em cold he can't move as fast! So lets freeze em!" He said grinning as he used his magic to expose the roots of the plant for her.

[Icaelus]

"Whoa, whoa."
Just what the hell was this? A talking plant? Ew.. and now it was spitting out all these black energy balls.. Mex twirled Raven, lighting up the gloom with a brief flash of fire, the energy ball intended for her instead blitzing straight into the ground.
Mex reappeared on the plant, balancing on the pink blossom with her feet. This was the plant that had raped so many other women..that ended now.
"Seek!"
The fire mage screamed, launching several clusters of flame projectiles straight into the air. They spiraled up for just a second, searing straight down into the blossom..
