Unguarded Guardians (IC) Part 2

[Sortaix]

Cat-man *Que dramatic music*, Wolf Chick, and her bf with the really long...sword:

Dax's magic surprised the bandit, well enough he didn't block Dax's spike. The man did let out a rather pitiful yell as the spike ran him through. He dropped the axe and grabbed the spike with both hands, in a pathetic attempt to prolong his life. He still died quickly.
The other bandit screamed as his hand was lopped off and attempted to scream again when Nyx finished him off. She did get to see his guts and his blood, his... black blood? Shortly after the two men died, their bodies changed, forming the black forms of what the companions should now recognize as Familars.

Kaz and Lilia:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Lilia's attack at the hound, caught it unprepared for her magic. He tried to dodge her, but he was unable to beat her speed. (-40 health) (-30 stamina) This also allowed Kaz's attack to hit him square in the face, causing him to give a yelp from the water magic.(-30 stamina) (-80 health) He then jumped back, out of the house, turning back, in an attempt to run away.
Kaz: Health: 340/340 Stamina : 1120/1150
Lilia: Health: 350/350 Stamina: 1200/1230
Demon Dog: Health 280

"Wh-..." Victor was about to say "what the hell" at the Familiars' true forms being revealed, but the sight alone surprises him enough to silence him...he's still not accustomed to that. Still, the poorly-skilled bandits aren't the types he'd expect a Necromancer to send about; they should at least have been a little more talented, that considered...

...or perhaps their master is still nearby, and they've walked right into a trap...

Tensing at the idea, Victor holds his sword in a guard-type posture, ready to take a defensive stance at the first sign of an attack. "Anyone else get the feeling we're being watched?" he chimes in, keeping his eyes peeled for that signature purple color of Necromancer design. As much as that line is known for bad luck, he's still hoping that it's just a cliche this time...

Dax grinned as the evil man was struck by his shield and killed,"One less evil doer in the world." He said and then blanched as the man turned into a familiar,"The hell?!" He said as it slid off the spike with a wet splat onto the ground and he immideately looked around,"I do... And this just got a helluva lot more complicated... If the bandits have been killed and replaced with Familars then were aren`t dealing with simple bandits and a mage bandit king anymore... stay on your toes." He said seriously edging closer to them his shield rasied again.

"Like hell you're getting away!" she shouts, lowering into a stance, raising her sword in her right hand pointed towards the beast with her left hand slightly above the blade. "Gato... I mean Rushing Winds!" She calls, charging the beast down and using wind magic to increase that speed. When she gets within 5 feet of the hellhound, she thrusts Red Wind out, increasing the length with her magic to pierce through it.

[napsii]

"AWW YEAH! WATER BOMB!" Kaz elated with a fist pump to the air as her water orb splooshed over the dog's head. It was an attack she revelled in for unnecessarily long, but with a few giddy leaps she managed to slow her mirth in time to see the dog trying to hop away. Nooo! If it got away, the chain reaction of events from there could like... destroy the galaxiverse! Empowered by this possibility, Kaz swung Tide around like a madgirl as she dashed up on after Lilia.

"That's a CRAZY MOVE! You're like a ninja from the FUTURE!" she impulsively commented of Lilia's maneuver as she primed water orb triplets in her hand. Like bullets, they cast out as soon as the girl shot her hand out, aiming to splash over the hellhound just as Kaz made a ginormous, theatrical leap out the front door.

"Excelsior!" she yelled, blasting off more water bullets everywhere for no rhyme nor reason.

Nyx steps back and scans the area And her admiral Akbar senses go off
"IT'S A TRAP! We need to leave now"

[daxtinator396]

By now Dax had backed up into the group and he said,"Stop. No panicking. We need to stay calm and keep our wits about us alright? Stay close. You too Victor this smells rotten and I don`t think it`s the bodies. We need to keep moving but together. No one lose sight of the others. I know I`m no leader so if either of you have a better plan speak up please. I`m still here as just a Gaurd becuase I was told I didn`t have the stuff for leadership." He said with a sad twinge in his voice.

"Sort, come on. I'm not exactly new at this."
Mex grinned, poking Sort teasingly on his cheek before she stood up and swung Ravenous at the orc's head height, dissolving into flames mid-swing. She reappeared about a metre away behind the orc, completing the swing and shifting back to suddenly sit on Sort's shoulders.
"See?"
The girl dropped Ravenous to the ground and started messing around with her lover's blond hair, mussing it up here and there with a mischievous smile on her lips. The Orc's head rolled off his corpse, dropping to the ground with a squelch..

[Sortaix]

Sort and Mex:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Sort was teasing Mex, but she still ended up shifting over and decapitating the orc, before she stared messing with his hair. He then grabbed her by the waste and lifter her up, to a kiss, before reaching under her dress and snatching her underwear off of her.
"That's what you get for messing with my hair, now I get to think of you walking around without any panties. Oooo. I am getting excited already.
Sort said before tucking her panties into his pack and rushing on to the path the orc was guarding.

Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dumb:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

The hound tried to get away, but he was caught by Kaz's water bullets in the hind quarters, causing him to fall. Her other water bullets pelted the house and the ground with no other real side effect. The hound falling however, gave Lilia the moment she needed, her wind blade piercing though the hound, laying him wide open. He the let out one loud death howl to the sky before disappearing back to the nether realm. A howl that was answered by other hounds, and it sounded like they were coming.

The Three Mousketeers.

"Well, well you figured it out."
A strange voice said as a man walked up, several feet away from the group. He was clad in what appeared to be some type of armor made out of fur, but the staff he held labeled him as a mage of some kind. He then took out a scroll and began reading it.
"You with the cat ears, you're Dax. And woman you must be the one called Nyx. The other one doesn't fit any descriptions of the Furon royal guard. I guess you guys can eat him, since we don't need him."
With that, eight Familiars came around, and circled the group in a wide circle, while two undead men in full armor, flanked him by either side."If they can't do it, finish the job."
With that, the mysterious man walked away, and the creatures came forward.
Victor: Health 420/420 Stamina 1290/1300
Dax: Health: 450/450 Stamina: 1280/1280
Nyx: Health: 400/400 Stamina: 1260/1260

Familiar 1 Health 400/400
Familiar 2 Health 400/400

Familiar 6 Health 400/400
Familiar 7 Health 400/400
Familiar 8 Health 400/400

[daxtinator396]

Dax turns quickly towards the voice and then glares at the man as he speaks their names and summons familairs,"Shit. I hate it when I`m right... Where the hell is Sort when you need him." He said taking up a battle stance and earthen and stone spikes sprout from his armor and shield as he goes porcupine,"You many know my name but do you know what I`m capable of? The answer is no for not even I know that." He sai with a grin and gave a stomp throwing up spikes of stone all over the battlefield a few aimed towards the enemy but most were just random,"Your in my house now." He said with a laugh and hopped up on the nearest spike and moving about quickly from one to another til he got behind a familair and slashed forward with his gauntlet blade.

[Zender_Solarheart]

"My my, seems I haven't said it enough..." Victor jests with a chuckle, before raising up his sword, and shouting:

"I am Victor Stein! The Sword that Cleaves Thunder! Remember that name, as you fall into the depths of Hell!"

With that said, Victor lets out a triad of vacuum-blades (Reppu Tatsudan) at the three most accessible Familiars, belting out a mighty "CHESTOOOO!!" as he does so. The poorly-disciplined bandit Familiars from earlier weren't worth his magic, but this time's a different story. After all, Nyx, Dax, and himself are outnumbered 8 to 3, so he might as well get to work on evening the odds. However, he also keeps an eye open for any projectile attacks from the enemies, ready to dodge accordingly, though he'd only use a wind-blast to enhance it if truly necessary; against these odds, a little energy-saving can go a long way.

[Icaelus]

"You seem surprisingly cal- Eek!"
Mex shrieked in surprise as Sort suddenly grabbed her. Her shriek was soon muffled by Sort's lips, moving in for a silencing kiss while his hand reached under into her dress, tugging at her panties. She squirmed ineffectually in his grasp, trying to get free. Her added movement would accidentally allow Sort to get a better handhold on her panties and pull them free and off her legs easily, baring her pussy to a suddenly very cold gust of wind. Sort broke off the kiss and teased her while she blushed in embarrassment at the sight of him holding up her panties and then stuffing them into his bag..he wasn't returning them?
"H-hey! Sort, wait! Give them back!"
Mex stood up and tried to pull her ashen dress together to cover her pussy, but the damn breeze kept blowing them away. In the end, she kept one hand holding her dress down while she tried to get at Sort's bag with the other.

[Sortaix]

Sort and Mex:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Sort looks back to watch Mex hold her dress down as she tries to chase him. He gives her a warm laugh and a smile, while staying out of her reach. He ran for a bit, until they reached the forest edge, then he stopped in front of her and twirled around. He could see the blush on her face, and that gave him an idea. He then holds her panties up high and says.
"alright, if you can grab 'em without shifting, I'll give em to you."
He waited a bit for her to jump up to get them and try other methods, expecting her to kick him. He then waited for her full attention on her underwear, before breaking the strap holding her bra together. He then tried to to nab it before taking off waving her panties at her.

Cat-man, Wolf-woman, and the other guy.

Dax succeeded at his jumping from spike to spike attempt, however this drew the attention of four of the familiars, who converged on him. He just missed the one he was slashing at, but the one that came at him, ended up impaling it's hand on his spikes (-20 health)
Victor's attack was a little more successful, as the familiars didn't expect him to be capable of anything. His wind blades cut through the three targets, slicing a deep gash down two sides, while the third took it in the stomach. (-60 stamina) (-50 health) (-50 Health) (-100 Health)
Victor: Health 420/420 Stamina 1260/1300
Dax: Health: 450/450 Stamina: 1280/1280
Nyx: Health: 400/400 Stamina: 1260/1260

Familiar 1 Health 380/400

Dax growled as they converged on him his attack missing and their claws trying to rip him in two and one instead impaled itself on a shoulder spike and an idea struck him that might help even the odds and all the spikes on his armor shot outwards off the armor and more took their place as he held a hand onto one of the other spikes for material and the hail of stone spikes shot towards the Familairs,"Eat that you filthy demons! That oughta teach you to keep your dirty claws to yourself!" He cried triumphantly and hopped up on another spike.

[Angel_Slayer_Alcatraz]

Nyx jumps in front of a familiar and pivots her foot as she crouches
"IZANAGI!"
With the added momentum of her pivoting it should deal more pain then usual

[MiscChaos]

Lilia lets out a satisfied "Hmph" as her blade sinks deep into the hellhound. She realizes her mistake of not going for the throat though as the thing lets out a death howl before dissolving to nothing. Lilia instantly puts herself on high alert, looking around constantly to see the first sign of a hellhound's approach. "Get ready, Kaz. Round 2's about to begin." she says with a small smile. It'd been a while since she could really cut loose like this and she was going to savor each and every moment of it.

[Zender_Solarheart]

Seeing Nyx dealing with one Familiar, and Dax raining earthen pain on the others, Victor decides to pull a little double-feature...

First, Victor fires a quick - yet slightly lower-powered - Shippu Taiho blast at the Familiar that Nyx is attacking, meant to stun it and leave it open to her attack. Then, he turns around to face whatever other enemies Dax's spike-rain won't cover, slams Mjolnir into the ground on his left-frontal side, readies an electromagnetic charge, and...

"TSUCHI RETSU DAN!" ("earth-blasting burst")

...drags his sword up and to the right, using the stored charge to scatter earthen bullets in a wide arc. The technique itself is a variant on his "Hageshi Retsu Dan," made more for groups of weaker enemies, as opposed to large, strong, and singular targets. It's similar to a sweeping SMG burst of dirt bullets, and while it lacks the more exquisite punch of its root technique, it should be suitable for the Familiars in its path...

[napsii]

"Awwwww, yeahhhhhh!" Kaz beamed, grinning at Lilia. The hound might have made its escape into the afterlife (hey, if she was the hound, she'd be running for the hills too!) but at least it had called its friends to the party. Swinging Tide around a few more times to check the staff was still prepped for battle (it was, with its icy head still frozen like steel) she pivoted around, awaiting the next of the flock. Her water magic gave her the leg up, for sure.

"What I wanna know is... who let da dogs out!? WOOF! Cuz, I mean, y'know... hellhounds don't normally just appear, right? There must be a necromancer involved!" she commented.

[Sortaix]

Dax, Nyx, Victor:

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

Dax spike attack surprised the familiars attacking him, as they each got hit by at least one spike. (-20 health)(-30 Health)(-20 Health)(-50 Health) (-50 stamina). This caused the familiars to back off as he jumped up onto another earthen spike. They then, raised their hands and each one fired a weak, black fireball at Dax, giving him four projectiles to deal with. Victor's attack on the Familiar Nyx was after hit him square in the back, stunning him enough for Nyx to slash him across the front,(You didn't say how she is attacking, so I am guessing) nearly disemboweling him.(-20 stamina)(-320 Health)(-25 stamina) His earth shot however was interrupted as three Familiars rushed him, the first taking most of the projectiles himself, while his friends rushed in, claws and teeth bared. (-50 stamina)(-100 Health)

Kaz and Lilia:

As Kaz and Lilia prepared themselves, they saw three hell hounds approach over the farmers field, appearing from the direction of a nearby forest. The three run to the women and charge them, teeth bared, ready for battle.

Nyx spins her blade so it is aimed downwards at the familiar's neck
"Goodbye"
She stabs downwards into its neck and twists the blade sideways
