The Dawnseekers bring might and magic, yet the sheer, overwhelming numbers of the horde obstruct their better efforts. Hordes of tough, feathered bodies line the path, obstructing WINTRY, FLOCHE, OPHELIA, and EIGENGRAU from landing lethal blows upon the mighty Titaniform. THORNE, meanwhile, begins tearing his way through, blade ripping through one but suddenly stopping on the next as if by some invisible barrier. The Cumuloform shrieks, feathers bristling with power as a potent electromagnetism keeps his blade at bay.

JOROGUMO, meanwhile, finds no such obstructions, her Palebreath Spear skewering through victim after victim, its venom percolating through their thick, feathered hides before bursting into a conflagration of silvery-blue fire. Her attack reaches the towering Titaniform, but it alone is not enough to bring it to its knees.

-Thorne: MISS. Recoil dealt

The TITANIFORM wreaks havoc, crimson lightning singeing the fields and bathing the wheat and mages in its sinister red light. Total disaster is averted thanks to ALARYCK's noble resistance, though that enough is not sufficient to halt its wrath entirely. Thankfully, the other Boltrunners are far less effective, merely scratching the bulky recipients of their claws and currents, especially thanks to the frigid barriers placed by noble ALICIEL.

Their capacitance expended, numbers curbed and leader near death, the winds blow at the backs of the Dawnseekers as momentum shifts in their favor. What shall you do with it?

Seeing her colleagues collapsing, Roa begins moving to the front lines, anxious to blast the monstrosities before further damage can be done. However, the sound of splintering wood catches her attention. One of the beasts has reached the barricade!

“BRIGHTLANCE!”

Her radioactive blast strikes it with unerring accuracy, but it’s not enough. It’s still half alive.

“Another!” She calls for aid.

Her attack curls upwards, offering a healthy dose of radiotherapy to Cynthia, should the beast fall by someone else’s hand.

It all went well. Just as Hierophant demonstrated and just as you said. I'll try to keep this mind and not freak out again. The minor complication being the big one's not actually dead yet, but at least the Palebreath passed over Parsley and Wintry (and Warpig too lol).

>>6420739
As Thorne is intercepted in the dark, Jorogumo sniffs as she sees that the Titaniform still stands. Her expression remains sedate as ever. "Ah, alas, alack. I suppose such obstructions are to be expected in the ever-predacious dark. Nonetheless, this oversight shall be duly rectified."

She breathes out once more...

This fucker's been chunked by two Palebreaths (50 DMG or 54 DMG if there's the extra Poison stack applied >>6420226 + 4 DMG from Fire), so he has at least 26 HP from the start of this round.

Titaniform is gonna die now from my attack and then Ophelia's, by my reckoning. Paranoid thoughts: I am banking on the fifth Stratiform not being near Thorne during the enemy turn and giving a second boost to the Boltrunner 2 (my first target) for a DC of 10 (which would stop my attack entirely).

Spellcleaver still glowing with a dark heat from the invocation of the Old Gods he had just called upon, Warpig knows its time to beat a warriors retreat for now. He shoves off the bird trying and failing to claw at him and dodges out of the line of fire, allowing his fellow mages to train their sorcery on the Titaniform without worry. In the meantime, he begins o plunder the spoils, careful to lay his spellblade by the wayside, lest he risk the acrid aura hanging around it worm inside the meat's taste.

It seems Parsley's optimism in his peers was not misplaced, what with the cacophonous barrage of spells rising to meet the challenge presented by BIG GAME. It's almost enough to make him think that maybe there is something to this 'teamplay' idea after all. At least, until the titaniform sidesteps him as easily as he did its smaller cousin, prompting indignant outrage. How dare it ignore his spectacular self?! Has he not proven his mettle by standing here with robes unsoiled? To not even warrant a glancing attack-- certainly, he and Wintry are unarmed, but this is now how he wished it were so!

"You dare think me insignificant?! Come, my barbaric brethren, let us show this overgrown vermin the error of its ways in turning its tail towards us!" Quickly doddering along, he aims to stand behind WARPIG and let loose another blast that fortifies and shreds armour in equal measure, only for the warrior to step away before he can reach the right spot. Any word of protest he can muster is drowned out by LANSA's spell blasting right where he was about to step into, and he decides to hold his tongue for a change.

But wait. The moment of silence allows Parsley a rare moment of clarity. Between him and the quiet town they've gathered here to defend, past the titaniform's bulk, the irregular line of his comrades, and the occasional tree...

...is a single motherfucker pecking at the barricades.

"DAWNSEEKERS!" He screeches his voice hoarse, perhaps expending the most effort he's ever had to in his life. After-action reports would likely mistake it for one of the birds' death cries. "ABYSSKIN THREATENING THE TOWN! STOP IIIIIT!"

>>6420739
>Cast Sound The Horn
It seems the antagonistic forces of the abyss had plotted against him specifically. How dastardly! Not that he felt any pain in his empowered form, but still immensely disappointed his valiant charge was interrupted. The deaths of these chickens so delayed Thorne raised his horn and blew it into the faces of the two birds. It was perhaps a petty revenge, but satisfying in its own way.
