A magic user amongst her kin, Sarah was among the first to respond to the rumors of demons in Badaria. She traveled alone through forest paths that no human had ever traveled, her passage marked only by the air she moved, and only recognized by the wind.

She was almost at the human town, would be there in a few hours, and she was moving quickly. She paused, listening to the wind, and heard as much as felt the presence of a pack of wolves up ahead. She could tell that there were at least four, but not many more than that.

Re: Blackened Country (24FM)

Sarah stopped right in her tracks as she picked felt the presence of the wolves up ahead in the forest. She felt the tainted wolves presence obvious not what nature intended it to be and most likely the increased appearance and boldness of the demons in Badaria. She sighed as her journey has been taxing on her physically and she debated to herself whether to try to avoid the wolves until she is fully rested or engage them now.

"This is what I have traveled all this way to do" she said softly to herself fearing that if she rested and looked for them another day more innocent people would be victims or that they would embark somewhere else to hurt people.

She closed her eyes concentrating the magical energy in her body, building it until she had enough for her spell, Lesser Buff she tapped and molded her magical energy then forced it throughout her body, hoping to strengthen her weary muscles and body. Before she was going to face the wolves.

Sarahs (Blank, you didn't specify what you wanted to buff) has increased by 6.

Sarah spell gives her strength, and she steps out into the open, easily spotting the five wolves up ahead.

(sorry it was body, I thought the description of the strengthening muscles would be the same )
(Also I wasn't planning on jumping out before doing a couple of other things but it's ok I'll go with you're plan)( I thought it was only one action a post.)

Sarah stepped into the open scanning her eyes to see that there were 5 wolves up ahead. She gave a slight nod then concentrates her magic into summoning a black bear (moderate summon) to help her with these wolves.

(Sorry about that. It's one action per post, but moving a couple of feet isn't really an action, you can move your speed per turn for free.)

Casting: 7 + 18 + 8 + 4 = 37 vs 15 = Success.

The wizards call is heard, as the spirit of a black bear appears before her. A formation of magic based on the real creature, the magical beast is just as dangerous as the real thing. The five wolves don't seem bothered by it, as they spot the elf-mage and her summoned bear. The beasts snarl and rush toward her, ready to attack.

Re: Blackened Country (24FM)

Sarah's legs tense as she sees the wolves rushing, she gets lower to the ground readying herself to move quickly if she must. Turning slightly to the bear she summoned she talks to the bear as if it understood her language. "You know what to do" she said to the bear before turning towards the rushing attackers. She shifted her feet so that she stood besides the bear. She waved her hands and concentrated her magic where the first wolf was, commanding the earth to sprout vines and subdue it.

The vines entangle the first of the wolves at the elf wizards call, trapping it even as its fellows rush past it. The bear roars in challenge and swats at the first of the attacking wolves.

To-hit: 19 + 32 = 51 vs 20 = hit.
Damage: 3 + 12 = 15 damage.

The bears claws rip through the wolfs hide, and the beast is thrown away. Its three companions tear at the bear, hoping to bring the powerful beast down.

To-hit: 7 + 20 = 27 vs 25 = hit.
To-hit: 18 + 20 = 38 vs 25 = hit.
To-hit: 12 + 20 = 32 vs 25 = hit.
Damage: 3 + 4 = 7 - 4 = 3 damage.
Damage: 3 + 4 = 7 - 4 = 3 damage.

The monstrous wolves claws and fangs don't seem to harm the bear much.

Re: Blackened Country (24FM)

Sarah grimaces as her bear swipes one of the wolves clean in half. The bloody butchered carcass thrown through the air she snaps back to the attention at hand concentrating to maintain her spell on the first wolf while casting the same spell on wolf #2.

( entangling plants wolf#2 maintain spell on one)

Mind + 4 vs Body = 16 + 36 + 4 = 56 vs 13 + 20 = 33 == Sarah wins.

Sarah feels the strain building as she entraps another of the wolves, the spellcasting and maintaining her previous spells quickly draining her energy. With two of the creatures out of the fight, her bear finds the going easier, and rushes to finish off the wolf it had wounded earlier.

To-hit: 1 + 32 = 33 vs 20 = hit.
Damage: 8 + 12 = 20 damage.

And as the wolf tries to rise, the bear hammers it into the ground with one of its paws. The wolf lies, unmoving, and the bear turns to face the other two even as they rush to attack the beast.

To-hit: 10 + 20 = 30 vs 25 = hit.
To-hit: 1 + 20 = 21 vs 25 = miss.
Damage: 1 + 4 = 5 - 4 = 1 damage.

This time only one of the wolves manage to draw blood from the bear, and the beast seems to shrug off the minor wounds the wolves keep inflicting on it.

Re: Blackened Country (24FM)

Sarahs stance widen as she stood in front of the two bound wolves trying to maintain her spells. Her left leg started shaking as she could see the vines start to unbind and unravel from the two wolves. Sarah left leg lifted taking a small step back planting her foot in a more widen stance. She focused her energies on maintaining her spells binding the two wolves seeing the vines react and curl tighter around the two wolves. This is all she was willing to commit right now. Her summoned bear should be able to do the rest right? She thought to herself...
(maintain both spells on wolves 1 n 2)

Mind + 4 vs Body = 15 + 36 + 4 = 55 vs 4 + 20 = 24 == Sarah wins.

The two wolves are held tight, but Sarah continues to feel her energy draining to keep the spells holding the wolves and the one adding to her strength working. Her bear ally strikes out at another of the attacking wolves.

To-hit: 5 + 32 = 37 vs 20 = hit.
Damage: 1 + 12 = 13 damage.

The bears attack is only a glancing blow, but even that is enough to injure the wolf. The two remaining beasts attack the bear again.

To-hit: 19 + 20 = 39 vs 25 = hit.
To-hit: 7 + 20 = 27 vs 25 = hit.
Damage: 1 + 4 = 5 - 4 = 1 damage.
Damage: 6 + 4 = 10 - 4 = 6 damage.

The wolves give the bear two more minor wounds, but the collection os minor wounds is starting to add up.

Re: Blackened Country (24FM)

Sarah mutters a curse under her breath, she knew she wasn't going to last long if something didnt change. She dropped her magical buff to her body and maintained everything else. She was stupid not attacking the wolves while they were binding and she was hoping to rectify that now. Walking up to the first wolf that was entangled she swung her staff as hard as she could against the wolf's head. She needed to do something to even the odds.

To-hit: 10 + 16 = 26 vs 20 = hit.
Damage: 4 + 8 = 12 damage.

Her spells holding, Sarahs staff bashes against the entrapped wolfs head, her strike easily eating the captive beast despite her dropping her magical might. The blow doesn't kill it, but the best is wounded. Her bear swats at the wolf it had wounded earlier, trying to finish it off.

To-hit: 19 + 32 = 51 vs 20 = hit.
Damage: 7 + 12 = 19 damage.

And the bears claws find their mark this time, ripping into the wolfs side and opening its belly for its guts to spill out. The other freed wolf attack the bear mindlessly.

To-hit: 9 + 20 = 29 vs 25 = hit.
Damage: 2 4 = 6 - 4 = 2 damage.

The bear suffers yet another minor wound.

Sarah swings her staff again at the wolf hoping she has enough time to finish these two before her magic runs out.

Her staff once more crunches against the wolfs head, and now the beasts struggles against her vines seem weaker. Her bear moves in to attack the last free wolf.

To-hit: 11 + 32 = 43 vs 20 = hit.
Damage: 9 + 12 = 21 damage.

The bears swipe tears a chunk of flesh from the wolf, but the injured monster still attacks just as relentlessly.

To-hit: 17 + 20 = 37 vs 25 = hit.
Damage: 1 + 4 = 5 - 4 = 1 damage.

The wound proves to be minor, as are all the others.

Re: Blackened Country (24FM)

Sarah lifted her staff one more time, bringing it over her shoulder with two hands aiming for the wolfs skull. Twisting her hips and body hoping to get enough power in the blow to end the demonic wolf's life.

( maintain spells on 1 and 2 attack the first one )

Sarahs staff once again clunks against the wolfs skull, this time sending the slathering beast collapsing to the ground, blood running from a wound on the top of its head.

To-hit: 2 + 32 = 34 vs 20 = hit.
Damage: 11 + 12 = 23 damage.

The summoned bear clamps its powerful jaws onto the attacking wolfs face, biting as hard as it can as the wolf struggles to escape. It fails, however, and the bear quickly crushes the remaining wolfs skull under its powerful jaws. That leaves only the last beast still held by Sarahs vines.

(One of the wolves is dead, so you'll only need 1 EP to maintain your hold next round. Also, welcome back.)

Re: Blackened Country (24FM)

Sarah grimaces as she sees the bear engulf the wolf's head and cringes when it explodes in a bloody mess with a resounding "crunch" in the bears mouth. She moves towards the wolf that was still alive and entangled. Raising her staff she prepares to hopefully end the wolfs life in one blow.

Sarahs vines holds the last struggling wolf as she brings her staff down solidly on its head. The beast proves resilient, however, and snaps at her staff as she retracts from the solid blow. The bear moves over and, with a roar, scrapes its claws along the wolfs side, spilling its entrails and ending the fight. As the vines collapse, Sarah very nearly collapses in exhaustion, the heavy use of magic having drained her. Glancing down, she spots a red stone amidst the dead wolfs guts, glowing faintly despite the blood and gore partially covering it.

Re: Blackened Country (24FM)

Breathing a sigh of relief sarah slumps to the ground to take a moment to breath. Something caught her eye though as she gets up to examine the stone within the wolves.

( examine and take the stone, searching the other wolves corpses before trying to find a place to rest; look for shelter )
